Installation and connection
Connecting the pressure hose
An optimum flow rate is achieved with a hose inside diameter of 38 mm (1½").
How to proceed:
 B
1. Adapt the stepped hose adapter to the hose diameter
2. Screw the stepped hose adapter onto the connection on the pressure side.
3. Connect the pressure hose to the stepped hose adapter.
– Secure the pressure hose with a hose clip.
Adjusting the float switch
When the water level rises, it lifts the float switch until the switch-on point is reached and the pump switches on.
When the water level drops, the float switch lowers until the switch-off point is reached and the pump switches off.
 C
• Push the float switch cable into the cable clip.
– The shorter the cable between the float switch and the cable clip, the lower the switch-on point and the higher the
switch-off point.

To ensure fault-free function, ensure that the cable length between the float switch and the cable bracket is at
least 100 mm.
