Operation

Operation
1. Plug the mains plug into the socket.
2. Switch the device on with the ON/OFF switch.
Note
Pump starts immediately. Wait until the pump sucks in
and delivers evenly, then close the stop valves in the
pressure line.
After reaching the switch-off pressure, the pressure
switch switches off the motor. The storage tank is now
filled, the domestic water supply is ready for operation.
If there is no water supply, the switch-off pressure is not
reached and the pressure switch can no longer shut off
the device. This heats up the water in the pump head.
To prevent damage to the pump due to overheating, the
power supply is interrupted by the thermal switch in the
event of overheating. After cooling down, the power
supply is restored.
Note
The cooling time until the engine restarts can be up to
150 minutes.
We recommend the use of a dry-running protection de-
vice (see special accessories) for regular protection
against water shortage.
ATTENTION
Risk of injury, the system is pressurised!
When opening a pressurised system, you can be in-
jured by flying parts.
Depressurise the device before opening the connec-
tions (for pressure, see chapter Technical data)
Ending operation
1. Switch off the device at the ON/OFF switch.
2. Unplug the device at the mains plug.

Care and maintenance

DANGER
Danger of electric shock.
Always switch the device off and disconnect the mains
plug before working on the device.
The device is maintenance-free.
Fault
Pump is running, but not
delivering
The pump does not start
up, or stops suddenly
during operation
The pump switches itself
off and also on again
10
Cause
There is air in the pump.
The air cannot escape on the pressure
side.
No water available.
The power supply is disconnected.
Thermal protection switch in the motor
has switched off the pump due to over-
heating of the motor.
The thermal protection fuse has switched
off the pump to protect it from overheat-
ing or switched it on again after it has
cooled down.
1. Open and close connected stop valves for pressure
relief.
The system is depressurised.
Note
Rinse the pump with clear water after each use when
pumping water with additives.
Check the pressure of the air filling in the
1. Check the pressure of the air filling in the storage
tank every six months, if necessary top up to 2.0 bar
when the device is switched off/depressurised (un-
plug the device, open the water tap)
Note
The type plate is located below the cover. Unscrew the
cover in an anti-clockwise direction.
