Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum particle size the pump can handle?

The pump is designed for clear to slightly contaminated water and can handle solid particles up to 5 mm. For larger particles, it is strongly recommended to use the included stainless steel pre-filter.

Can this pump be used for dirty water or sewage?

This pump is best suited for clear or slightly contaminated water. For heavily soiled water or sewage, a different type of pump designed for such applications would be more appropriate.

How does the level sensor work?

The pump features a continuously adjustable level sensor. In automatic mode, it starts the pump when it comes into contact with water. When the support feet are unfolded, it can start at a water level of 7 mm. It also allows for dry pumping down to 1 mm.

What is the warranty period?

Kärcher offers an optional extended warranty, which can extend the standard warranty to five years. Please refer to Kärcher's official warranty documentation for full details and registration requirements.

What type of hoses can I connect?

The pump is equipped with a Quick Connect system that allows for the simple connection of 1", 1 1/4", and 1 1/2" hoses.

Can I leave the pump running unattended?

Yes, the pump can be left running unattended in automatic mode, as the level sensor will control its operation based on the water level. Ensure the power supply is reliable and the area is safe.

What maintenance is required?

After use, rinse the pump with clean water. Periodically check the intake and pre-filter for debris and clean as necessary. Store in a frost-free location.

Troubleshooting

Pump does not start.

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check if the water level is sufficient to trigger the sensor (1 mm in manual/auto dry pump, or 7 mm in auto with feet unfolded). Verify the mode switch is set correctly.

Reduced water flow or pump not pumping effectively.

Check the intake and the pre-filter (if attached) for blockages. Ensure the discharge hose is not kinked or obstructed. Verify the delivery height does not exceed the maximum limit of 9 meters.

Pump stops intermittently in auto mode.

This is normal operation as the sensor activates/deactivates based on water level. If it stops and starts excessively with still a significant water level, check for obstructions around the sensor or intake.

Unusual noise during operation.

Turn off and unplug the pump immediately. Check for debris lodged in the impeller or intake area. Ensure the pump is stable and not vibrating excessively against surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect Hose: Attach your desired discharge hose (1", 1 1/4", or 1 1/2") using the Quick Connect fitting. Ensure the connection is secure.
  2. Position Pump: Place the pump flat on the bottom of the area to be drained. For automatic operation at a 7 mm level, unfold the support feet.
  3. Install Prefilter (if needed): For water with larger particles, attach the stainless steel pre-filter to protect the impeller.
  4. Connect Power: Plug the 10-meter power cord into a suitable GFCI-protected electrical outlet (230-240 V).
  5. Select Mode: Set the switch to 'Auto' for automatic operation or 'Manual' for continuous pumping.

Compatibility:

  • Hose Sizes: Compatible with 1", 1 1/4", and 1 1/2" hoses.

Care:

  • After Use: Always rinse the pump thoroughly with clean water after each use, especially if pumping contaminated water.
  • Storage: Store the pump in a frost-free location. Ensure the pump and hoses are free of water before storage.
  • Cleaning: Periodically check the intake and pre-filter for blockages. Clean with water as needed.
