4. Configuração
Follow these steps to set up your Einhell pump for operation:
- Assemble the Extension: If using the pump for rainwater collection from a barrel, attach the adjustable aluminum tube to the pump's outlet. Then, connect the flexible gooseneck to the top of the aluminum tube.
- Posicione a bomba: Place the pump unit into the water source (e.g., rain barrel, tank, or flooded area). Ensure the pump is stable and fully submerged. The minimum operating space required is approximately 40 x 40 cm, with a pump diameter of 24 cm.
- Adjust the Float Switch: The float switch controls the automatic on/off function of the pump. Adjust its position along the cable to set the desired minimum and maximum water levels for operation. A higher float position will require more water to activate the pump.
- Conectar à energia: Plug the pump's power cable into a properly grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is protected by a residual current device (RCD) for safety.

Once set up, the Einhell GE-SP 3046 RB pump operates efficiently:
- Operação automática: The pump will automatically start when the water level rises to the activation point set by the float switch and stop when the water level drops below the deactivation point.
- Operação manual: For continuous operation regardless of water level (e.g., for complete drainage), the float switch can often be fixed in an 'on' position. Refer to the specific instructions for your float switch model.
- Transferência de água: Direct the flexible gooseneck or connected hose to where you want the water to be discharged. The pump can deliver up to 4,600 liters per hour with a maximum delivery height of 11 meters.
