The pump can also be operated when
suspended by a rope.
3. Before operating the pump again ensure
that the pump line has been completely
emptied. When doing so vent the pump if
necessary.
5.1 Switching ON and OFF
TP 6600
The pump will start immediately after you
have connected it to the mains.
It will shut off after you have disconnected it
from the mains.
All other models
After you have connected the pump to the
mains it will be switched on (19) and off (20)
automatically by the float switch. The point in
time at which switching occurs depends on
the water level.
Adjusting the ON and OFF times for the
pump
The position of the float switch cable in the
cable holder can be changed. The time inter-
val between pump switch-on and switch-off
is thereby adjusted:
– 'Short' float switch cable: ON and OFF po-
sitions are close together.
– 'Long' float switch cable: ON and OFF po-
sitions are far apart.
A Caution!
The pump may run dry and thereby be dam-
aged.
The float switch must always be able to
move up and down to allow the pump to be
switched on and off.
ADanger from faulty pump!
Take appropriate measures to ensure that
pump faults do not cause consequential
damage through flooding of rooms. This
must be ensured, for example, through in-
stallation of an alarm system or a reserve
pump.
ADanger!
Do not let the pump run against a closed
pump line.
5.2 Shallow water suctioning
(TPF … models)
 Fasten the float switch upright to the han-
dle to enable suctioning of shallow water.
A Risk of material damage from dry
running of pump!
The pump can overheat and be damaged as
the cooling function of the pumped medium
is not active during suctioning of shallow wa-
ter. The thermal switch will react.
 Only suction shallow water for a short pe-
riod of time.
 Supervise the pump during suctioning of
shallow water.
ADanger!
Unplug before maintaining or cleaning.
Repair and maintenance work other than de-
scribed in this section should only be carried
out by qualified specialists.
6.1 Routine care
For the pump to function perfectly at all times
routine care is required. This also applies if
the pump is not switched on for extended pe-
riods of time (e.g. during operation in soaka-
ways).
Cleaning the pump
1. Rinse pump with clean water. Remove
persistent marks, e.g. algae deposits, with
brush and dishwashing liquid.
2. To rinse the inside of the pump:
dip pump into a container of clean water
and switch on briefly.
