Operation With External Timer (Only For Spp 400 Ft & Spp 600 Ft); Maintenance And Troubleshooting - T.I.P. SPP 300 F Gebrauchsanweisung

It is highly recommended to vent the suction line as well, i.e. to fill it with water. It is true that the electrical pumps
of the T.I.P. SPP series are self priming and can be put into operation by filling only the pump housing with water.
In this case, however, the pump will require some time before it will have sucked in the liquid to be pumped and
proceed to the actual discharging function. In addition, this way of proceeding may require the pump to be filled
several times. This depends on the length and diameter of the suction line. After filling, please open any shutting
device in the pressure line, for instance a water tap, to enable the air to escape during sucking in.
Plug the mains plug into a 230 V AC socket. Subsequently, please start the pump by operating the on/off switch.
As soon as the liquid is being discharged evenly and without air mixture, the system is ready for operation. To
stop the pump, please operate the on/off switch again. You may then close the shut-off valve in the pressure line
again.
If the pump was out of operation for some extended period of time, the steps described above have to be
repeated for a renewed putting into operation.
The electrical pumps of the T.I.P. SPP series are equipped with an integrated thermal motor protection feature. In
the case of overload, the motor will switch off independently and on again after cooling down. For possible causes
and their elimination, please refer to the "Maintenance and troubleshooting" section.
8. Operation with external timer (only for SPP 400 FT & SPP 600 FT)
Intermittent operation with timer:
The supplied analogue timer is splash-proofed and can also be used outdoors. However, it must be installed in
such a way that it is protected against rain and flooding and isn't exposed to a direct water jet.
The timer can be used to set daily recurring working intervals for the pump, elimination manual switching on and
off the pump. If, for example, the pump is to be operated 3 times a day for 3 hours each, you can easily do this by
pushing 12 plastic slides on the central adjustment ring. This set time switching cycle is then repeated daily at the
same time. One slide is for a time of 15 minutes.
Before you insert the timer into the mains socket, set the clock clockwise by turning the central adjustment ring.
It is also possible to bypass the switching cycles by sliding the red switch and to set the connected device to
continuous operation.
If a power failure occurs, you may adjust the time, but the set switching cycles remain.

9. Maintenance and troubleshooting

Prior to carrying out any maintenance work, the pump must be separated from the electrical
mains. If you fail to separate the unit from mains, there is a risk of an inadvertent start of the
pump.
We decline any liability for damage caused by inappropriate repair attempts. Any damage
caused by inappropriate repair attempts will avoid all warranty claims.
Regular maintenance and thorough care will reduce the danger of possible malfunction and contribute to an
extension of the lifetime of your unit.
If the pump is to be put out of operation for some extended period of time, it should be emptied completely in by
opening the water drain screw (3). Subsequently, please flush the pump with clean water. Then allow the pump
body to dry completely in order to prevent corrosion damage.
Water left in the pump may freeze in case of frost and thus cause considerable damage. Please store the pump in
a dry, frost- protected place.
In the case of malfunction, you should first of all check whether it was caused by an operating error or some other
reason which cannot be attributed to a defect of the device - for instance a power failure.
The list below shows some possible malfunctions of the device, possible causes and tips on their elimination. All
the measures referred to may only be carried out with the pump being separated from the electrical mains. If you
yourself feel unable to eliminate any of these malfunctions, please contact the customer service department or
your point of sales. Any repair beyond the scope specified below must only be performed by qualified staff.
Please bear in mind that all warranty claims will become void in the case of damage caused by inappropriate
repair attempts, and that we decline any liability for any ensuing damage.
