1. Introduction
The Pedrollo TOP 2 submersible pump is designed for pumping clear water without abrasive particles. This 0.5 HP, 115 Volt pump is engineered for ease of use and reliable operation, featuring total motor cooling and a double mechanical seal on the shaft for enhanced safety and durability.
It is particularly suitable for emergency draining of small flooded areas such as basements, garages, and fountains, as well as for emptying containers or water tanks, and draining water from dishwashers and washing machines.
2. Consignes de sécurité
Always prioritize safety when operating electrical equipment, especially with water. Read and understand all instructions before installation and use.
- Connexion électrique : Ensure the power supply matches the pump's specifications (115 Volts). Connect the pump to a properly grounded outlet with a residual current device (RCD) for protection against electric shock.
- Qualité de l'eau : This pump is designed for clear water. Do not use it for pumping flammable liquids, corrosive chemicals, or water containing large abrasive particles.
- Limites de température : The maximum liquid temperature for continuous operation is +40 °C. For intermittent use, the pump can handle temperatures up to +40 °C for a maximum period of 3 minutes.
- Manutention: Always use the integrated handle for lifting and lowering the pump. Never pull the pump by its power cable or discharge hose.
- Enfants et animaux domestiques : Tenez les enfants et les animaux domestiques éloignés de la pompe et de la zone d'opération.
- Entretien: Débranchez la pompe de l'alimentation électrique avant toute opération de maintenance ou de nettoyage.
3. Configuration et installation
Une installation correcte est cruciale pour les performances et la longévité de la pompe.
3.1 Déballage et inspection
Carefully remove the pump from its packaging. Inspect the pump for any signs of damage during transit. Ensure all components, including the 5-meter power cable and integrated float switch, are present.

3.2 Raccordement du tuyau de refoulement
Attach a suitable discharge hose to the pump's outlet. Ensure the connection is secure to prevent leaks during operation. The pump is designed to accommodate standard hose sizes.
3.3 Positionnement de la pompe
Place the pump on a stable, flat surface in the area to be drained. Ensure the pump is fully submerged in the water before starting. The maximum immersion depth for the TOP 2 model is 3 meters.

3.4 Réglage de l'interrupteur à flotteur
The pump features an integrated float switch for automatic start and stop. The float switch activates the pump when the water level rises and deactivates it when the water level drops to a certain point. Ensure the float switch can move freely without obstruction to function correctly.
4. Fonctionnement
Once installed, operating the Pedrollo TOP 2 pump is straightforward.
4.1 Démarrage de la pompe
After ensuring the pump is correctly positioned and submerged, plug the power cable into a suitable electrical outlet. The integrated float switch will automatically start the pump when the water level reaches the activation point.
4.2 Fonctionnement automatique
The float switch will automatically turn the pump on and off based on the water level. This feature is ideal for continuous monitoring and draining of fluctuating water levels. The pump will continue to operate until the water level drops to the minimum emptying level of 14 mm from the bottom.
4.3 Arrêt de la pompe
To manually stop the pump, simply unplug it from the power outlet. The pump will also stop automatically once the water level falls below the float switch's deactivation point.
5. Entretien
Un entretien régulier garantit des performances optimales et prolonge la durée de vie de votre pompe.
- Nettoyage: Periodically clean the pump's exterior to remove any debris or sediment. Ensure the intake area is clear of obstructions.
- Vérification du commutateur à flotteur : Regularly check that the float switch moves freely and is not obstructed by debris.
- Inspection de la turbine : If the pump's performance decreases, inspect the impeller for blockages. The pump can handle solid particles up to Ø 10 mm. Larger particles may cause damage or blockages.
- Stockage: If storing the pump for an extended period, especially in freezing conditions, ensure it is completely drained of water to prevent damage. Store in a dry, protected area.
