During installation, starting and maintenance it is
suggested to the authorized operators to consider
the use of individual protection devices suitable for
described activities.
During ordinary and extraordinary maintenance
interventions, safety gloves are required.

HAND PROTECTION
(gloves for protection against chemical,
thermal and mechanical risks).
5. TRANSPORTATION AND HANDLING
The product is packed to maintain the content intact.
During transportation avoid to stack excessive weights.
Ensure that during the transportation the box cannot
move.
It is not necessary to use any special vehicle to
transport the packaged device.
The transport vehicles must comply, for the weight and
dimensions, with the chosen product (see technical
catalogue dimensions and weights).
5.1. Handling
Handle with care, the packages must not receive
impacts.
Avoid to impact onto the package materials that could
damage the pump.
6. INSTALLATION
6.1. Dimensions
For the dimensions of the device (see technical
catalogue).
6.2. Ambient requirements and installation site
dimensions
The customer has to prepare the installation site in
order to guarantee the right installation and in order to
fulfill the device requirements (electrical supply, etc...).
The place where the device will be installed must fulfill
the requirements in the paragraph 3.2.
It's Absolutely forbidden to install the machine in an
environment with potentially explosive atmosphere.
6.3. Unpacking
i
Inspect the device in order to check any
damages which may have occurred during
transportation.
Package material, once removed, must be discarded/
recycled according to local laws of the destination
country.
6.4. Installation
The
SPA
pumps must be installed with the rotor
axis horizontal and feet downwards in piping layouts
in which
the filling and draining of the pump
is obtained through the pipes, with filling and
draining of the bathtub or spa.
Whirlpool tubs must be constructed so that the
water cannot remain in the system after the tub
has been drained.
To allow for self-draining, mount the pump on a base
positioned at a level equal to or higher than the bathtub
or spa suction port and, to allow for filling, with the
delivery port positioned at a level lower than that for
normal filling (under the overflow discharge).
Installation beneath the skirt of a bathtub or spa
which is closed externally with protection panels must
provide at least one slot with a 5-10 mm aperture
(preferably between the panel and the floor) suitable
for air recirculation for
ventilation of the motor
.
Mount the pump on a base located at least 40 mm
(11/2 inches) above the intended mounting surface.
For outdoor spas or whirlpools, the pump and electric
parts must be installed within an enclosure for
protection from the weather and flooding and installed
on a base located at least 100 mm (4 inches) above
the mounting surface.
Make sure installation allows access for servicing and
inspection, disassembly or replacement of the pump.
Follow standards for safety
(some safety standards
are indicated in the section 6.5.).
6.4.1. Pipes
Connections of pipes to the pump ports.
Use pipes made of PVC type, plastic material.
The pump ports are designed to allow for direct
cemented joints (fig. 1). The external thread allows for
connection with an optional, removable union coupling
(fig. 2).

Fig. 2 Threaded union coupling.
To join the pipe to the pump or to the union coupling,
use an adhesive or cement suitable for the ABS
material. Follow carefully the instructions of the
product chosen .
Tighten union couplings to the extent sufficient to
ensure a tight seal.
Avoid tightening too much as excessive torque may
damage the pump or the union couplings themselves.
Make sure all joints are properly sealed.
The diameter of the pipes must not be smaller than the
diameter of the pump ports.
Place a removable filter inside the bathtub or whirlpool
suction port.
The suction pipe must have a minimum length of
500 mm and must lead upwards from the bathtub or
whirlpool suction port to the pump suction port.The
delivery pipe must also be positioned to allow for
complete draining when the bathtub is drained .
