Proper use
This appliance has been designed for use in private
households and is not intended for commercial use.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any damages
that may occur on account of improper use or wrong op-
erations.
The device is mainly intended for draining building parts
in case of flooding, but also for pumping over or out con-
tainers, for water removal from wells and shafts as well
as for draining water from boats and yachts, provided
that it is fresh water.
NOTICE
The device is not suitable for continuous pump opera-
tion (e.g. continuous circulation in a pond) or as a sta-
tionary installations (e.g. lifting device, fountain pump).
Approved feed fluids
 Fresh water up to a certain degree of soiling
 Water from swimming pool (provided the dosing of
additives is proper)
Washing lye

Sp 7 Dirt Inox (wastewater pump)
 Water with a degree of contamination up to a grain
size of 30 mm
SP 6 Flat Inox (clean water pump)
 Water with a impurities up to a maximum grain size
of 5mm
DANGER
Risk of injury, risk of damage! Caustic, slightly inflam-
mable and other explosive substances (such as petrol,
petroleum, diluted nitrogen), greases, oils, salt water
and waste water from toilets as well as sludgy water that
has a slower flow capacity than water, must not be
transported with this pump. The temperature of the de-
livered fluid must be between 5 °C and 35 °C.
Start up
NOTICE
The shorter the hose length and the larger the hose di-
ameter, the higher the pump capacity.
In order to prevent the pump from clogging, use the en-
closed pre-filter (SP 6 Flat Inox) or slide down the inte-
grated pre-filter (SP 7 Dirt Inox) with hose diameters of
less than 1¼ ".
The pump connection is equipped with a plug system
(Quick-Connect).
The unmounted connection nozzle with pump connect-
ing piece is enclosed in the device.
Illustration
 To remove the connection nozzle, press the Quick-
Connect (grey button).
Illustration
 Screw the pump connecting piece onto the connec-
tion nozzle.
 Slide the hose clamp onto the hose.
 Slide the hose onto the pump connecting piece and
secure it by means of a hose clamp.
 Slide the connection nozzle into the Quick-Con-
nect.
NOTICE
Hoses with a diameter of 1", 1¼" and 1½" can be con-
nected to the pump connecting piece.
To increase the flow volume, the pump connecting
piece can be shortened according to the hose used.
Illustration
 Slide the level sensor onto the rail from the top.
Illustration
 Fold out or fold in the support legs (SP 6 Flat Inox)
for the pump start.
NOTICE
It is not mandatory to fold out the support legs; a higher
pump capacity is achieved by folding out the support
legs.
Folding in the support legs enables the flat vacuuming
of the fluid up to a residual fluid height of up to 1 mm.
 Install or uninstall pre-filter (SP 6 Flat Inox).
 Slide down or up the pre-filter (SP 7 Dirt Inox).
NOTICE
It is not mandatory to install the pre-filter; a higher pump
capacity is achieved by installing the pre-filter.
The pre-filter pre-filters the feed fluid in order to protect
the pump against excessive soiling.
Disassembly of the pre-filter allows for the flat vacuum-
ing of the fluid up to 1 mm residual fluid height (SP 6 Flat
Inox).
 Safely place the pump on a stable surface in the
feed fluid or immerse it using a rope tied to the car-
rying handle.
NOTICE
The suction area must not be blocked by soiling.
In case of muddy ground, place the pump on a brick or
the like.
Ensure that the pump is level.
Do not carry the pump on the cable or the hose.
DANGER
Risk of mortal danger on account of electric shock!
Do not touch feed fluids, the rope attached to the carry-
ing handle as well as objects that are in contact with the
feed fluid (e.g. pipelines extending into the water, rail-
ings, etc.).
