Basically it's a DPDT switch which means it is double pole and double throw, what you do is connect Live supply to L of the switch side marked 1and 2 and neutral supply to L of the switch side marked
3 and 4 you then connect the Live load going to the pump to1 and the neutral going to the pump to 3.

If you find that the switch is marked ON and OFF(or I and 0) and the pump operates when the switch is in the OFF position then connect the pump lead to 2 and 4 instead making sure that the live is on the live side 2 and the neutral on 4 ( the drawing suggests that 1 and 3 are the NO(normally open) contacts and therefore it should work first time by connecting to 1 and 3.
