• In case of temporary installation, the Pump must be cleaned up with clear water after use.
• In case of permanent installation, it is necessary to check every 3 months that the start mechanism is
working properly (float switch or sensor).
• It is also recommended the Pump be removed from your Tank and make sure no tree roots or sludge
is across the Pump’s stainless steel pick-up / suction screen.
• Regularly remove dirt that may accumulate in the tank etc.
• DO NOT expose the Pump to Frozen Water or Heavy Frost.
•
Avoid dry-running the Pump – allow the Automatic Control ( or float if applicable ) to do its work - DO
NOT OVERRIDE IT.
• DO NOT abuse the Power Cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling up the pump from inside the
Tank or unplugging the Pump. It is best practice to tie a rope of sorts to the carry handle or specific
mounting point to make things easy when servicing or inspecting your Pump for regular maintenance.
• Clean the Pump stainless steel pick-up screen regularly to avoid overload and overheating of the
Pump. If the pump encounters excessive resistance at the pick-up screen, it may cause load burn-out
and lead to electrical trip out at the power-board.
• Avoid electrical shock and damage –
DO NOT
let the Pump fall to bottom of Tank. Instead, lower it
gently into position.
7. Troubleshooting
Trouble - Problem
Please Check – Inspect
What you should do
The Pump DOES NOT
Start and DOES NOT make
any Movement or Noise.
Is the Pump plugged in ?
Does the pump start when it is Fully
Submerged ?
Plug in the Pump into the 240 Volt
Power Point.
Is the Power Point switched on ?
Check your Electrical Connection &
Installation.
The Pump is Running but
DOES NOT Deliver or
Pump Water.
Do the Impeller/s freely Rotate ?
Is the Pump in good Condition ?
Is the Pump inlet free of tree roots,
slurry, gunk, sediment ?
The Delivery Head requested
exceeds the requirements &
performance of the Pump.
The Discharge Pipe could be too
narrow.
Eliminate any blockage at the
pick-up screen.
Replace the impeller/s.
Clean the Pump inlet screen &
inspect often.
Use the Pump in accordance with
its technical capabilities.
Increase the pipe diameter
The Pump Stops Suddenly!
Is there a sufficient water level to
suck ?
Did the Pump run for a long time
without stopping ?
Are you sure that the Pump inlet is
not obstructed ?
Does the power of the mains match
the rating plate- that is 240 Volt ?
Is the temperature of the liquid
being Pumped below freezing or
above 40°C ?
Disconnect the Pump from the
power outlet and let it cool for 15-
20 minutes
Clean the Pump inlet screen of any
blockage
Use a power supply matching
the rating plate ( 240 Volt- 50 Hz
ONLY )
Observe the maximum allowable
water temperature. It must NOT be
over +40 Celsius or below freezing.
