Installation and General Maintenance Manual

For AC, use a H07 RN-F3 type connection sleeve with a cable section that adapts to the power of the motor and the
length of the cable.
The mains cable may only be connected by skilled, authorised personnel (connection type
Υ
).
- Before connecting the motor, check the type of fuse required.
- Check the correct layout and connection of the earthing cable in the equipment.
- It is essential that the electrical installation and connection conditions are respected. Failure to do so may lead to
the pump manufacturer declining all responsibility and rendering the guarantee null and void.
- The motors are subject to EEC standards with IP-55 (plastic pumps) and IP-54 (cast iron pumps) protection.
- Special regulations may exist for the installation.
- Unsuitable mains connections involve the risk of death.
4. START-UP INSTRUCTIONS
PRIOR TO START-UP
- Carry out the following operations before starting the pump:
1. Fill the pump with water through the pre-filter until it rises up through the suction pipe.
2. Should the basket be removed during these operations, do not forget to replace it to prevent large particles from
entering the pump that could block it.
3. Check that the mains voltage and power correspond with those indicated on the pump characteristics plate.
- The pumps must not be run without the pre-filter having first been filled with water. Where this is not the case, the
mechanical gasket may be damaged, leading to a loss of water.
- Check that the motor rotates in the correct direction by means of the fan located at the back of the motor that can
be seen through the view hole on the fan cover (Fig. 5).
- Check that the pump shaft turns freely.
START-UP
- Open all the valves and connect the motor.
- Wait for a reasonable time for the piping to self-prime.
5. MAINTENANCE
- Clean the pre-filter basket regularly to avoid drops in pressure. To prevent the basket from breaking, do not hit it
during the cleaning process
- Should the pump stop, check that consumption of the running motor in amperes is equal to or below that indicated
on the manufacturer's characteristics plate. If this information is available, contact the nearest Technical Assistance
Service.
- Where the amperage is higher, consult the manufacturer.
- Empty the pump if it is to remain at a standstill for a certain length of time, especially in cold countries where there
is a risk of freezing.
- Remove the purge cap to empty the pump.
