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.

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.

 

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

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.

A

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.

A

Do not let the pump run against a closed 

pump line.



Fasten the float switch upright to the han-

dle to enable suctioning of shallow water.

A

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.

A

Repair and maintenance work other than de-

scribed in this section should only be carried 

out by qualified specialists. 

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.
