Setting up / immersing the pump:

1. Fold out or in the feet (SP 9,000 Flat).

   ---

   

2. Place the pump securely on solid ground in the feed fluid or immerse it by means of a rope attached to the carrying handle.

   Note

   The suction area must not be blocked by contamination. If the ground is muddy, place the pump on a brick or something similar. Make sure that the pump is horizontal. Do not carry the pump using the cable or hose.

1. If the fluid level is low, any sucked-in air, or air present in the pump, may escape via the automatic venting device. Fluid can also leak along with air.

   If the pump has problems with suction when the fluid level is low, unplug and plug in the mains plug repeatedly to assist the suction process.

   ---

   

1. If necessary, fold out the feet, see chapter Initial startup (SP 9,000 Flat).

   Note

   Folding out the feet is not absolutely necessary, but it does increase the pump capacity.

2. Plug the mains plug into a mains socket.

   Note

   In automatic mode, the float switch controls the pumping process automatically.

   The pump switches on as soon as the float switch has reached the switch-on height caused by the rising fluid level.

   The pump switches off as soon as the float switch has reached the switch-off height caused by the sinking fluid level.

   The float switch must be able to move freely.

   ---

   

   Min / Max	SP 9,000 Flat	SP 9,500 Dirt	SP 11,000 Dirt
   Switch-on height cm*	36 / 44	43 / 50	43 / 50
   Switch-off height cm*	15 / 24	18 / 30	18 / 30

   * The switching heights vary depending on the position of the float switch.

1. Fold in the feet, see chapter Initial startup (SP 9,000 Flat).

   Note

   By folding in the feet, flat suction of the fluid up to 1 mm residual fluid height is possible in manual operation.

2. Fasten the float switch in the lock so it points upwards.

Malfunctions often have simple causes that you can remedy yourself using the following overview. When in doubt, or in the case of malfunctions not mentioned here, please contact your authorised Customer Service.

• Pump is running, but not delivering 

• The pump does not start or stops during operation 

• The pump capacity drops or is too low 

• Quick-Connect cannot be opened 

Cause:

Air is in the pump.

Remedy:

1. Check for correct startup (see chapter Initial startup and Operation).

Cause:

Dirt particles block the suction area.

Remedy:

1. Pull the mains plug out of the socket.

2. Clean the suction area.

Cause:

The fluid level is too low (manual operation), see chapter Technical data.

Remedy:

1. Immerse the pump deeper into the feed fluid, see chapter Manual operation .

Cause:

The power supply is disconnected.

Remedy:

1. Check the fuses and the electrical connections.

Cause:

The thermal protection switch has switched off the pump because of overheating.

Remedy:

1. Pull the mains plug out of the socket.

2. Allow the pump to cool down.

3. Clean the suction area.

4. Prevent the pump from running dry.

Cause:

Dirt particles are trapped in the suction area.

Remedy:

1. Pull the mains plug out of the socket.

2. Clean the suction area.

Cause:

The float switch switches the pump off.

Remedy:

1. Automatic mode: Check the position and free movement of the float switch and correct if necessary, see chapter Automatic mode .

2. Manual operation: Attach the float switch correctly, see chapter Manual operation .

Cause:

The suction area is clogged.

Remedy:

1. Pull the mains plug out of the mains socket and clean the suction area.

Cause:

The delivery rate of the pump depends on the delivery head and the connected periphery.

Remedy:

1. Observe the maximum delivery height, see chapter Technical data. If necessary, select a larger hose diameter or shorter hose length.

Cause:

The cross-section on the pressure side is narrowed, e.g. due to the valve/ball tap not being fully open.

Remedy:

1. Fully open the valve / ball tap.

Cause:

The pressure side hose is kinked.

Remedy:

1. Eliminate the kink points in the hose.

Cause:

The Quick-Connect plug system is blocked by contamination.

Remedy:

1. Remove the clip and clean it.

• SP 9.000 Flat 

• SP 9.500 Dirt 

• SP 11.000 Dirt 

The flow rate is further increased:

• The lower the delivery height is.

• The greater the diameter of the hose used is.

• The shorter the hose used is.

• The smaller the pressure loss caused by the connected up accessories.
