
– Check cables, plug, outlet and mains
fuse.
Mains voltage too low.


conductor diameter.
Motor overheated; motor protection relay

tripped.
– Eliminate the cause of overheating
(pump blocked by foreign objects?).
Float switch does not switch pump ON


nical Specifications').
Discharge hose kinked.

– Straighten discharge hose.


– Seal discharge hose; tighten screw fit-
tings.
Pump runs very noisily:
Pump is sucking air.

– Ensure there is a sufficient water sup-
ply.
– Foreign objects are present (clean
pump).
– Manual mode has been set (shallow
water suctioning).
– Hold pump at an angle when submerg-
ing.
Pump runs continuously:
Float switch does not reach cut-out posi-

tion.
– Make sure the float switch can move
freely.
