NORMAL OPERATION
PRIMING THE PUMP
1. Open any valves in the pipeline.
2. Before starting, check that the
pump is properly primed. Fill it
completely with clean water after
having removed the cap above
the transparent filter (1).
• A special wrench is provided
for this.
3. Also open the vent plug (2) to
release any air. This ensures that
the mechanical seal is well
lubricated with water and that the pump immediately starts to work
normally. Dry operation may cause irreparable damage to the
mechanical seal.
4. Screw both the filling cap and vent plug (2) on securely.
5. Filling the suction pipe with water will speed up the priming process and it is
suggested that a non-return valve be fitted to the end of the suction pipe.
START-UP
1. Plug the power cable into a 230 V power socket and switch on.
2. The pump motor will start and water will start to flow through the system.
There may be some delay before water is discharged, depending on the
depth of the water level in the well and the position of the discharge point.
3. Check for any leaks and correct as necessary.
• If the motor fails to start, or the pump does not deliver water, refer to
TROUBLESHOOTING. Never operate the pump when not primed with
water or if the inlet is blocked.
4. To stop the pump, switch off and remove the plug from the power socket.
5. Do not subject the motor to excessive starting/stopping; it is strongly
recommended not to exceed 20 starts/hour.
CAUTION: DO NOT START THE PUMP WITHOUT HAVING COMPLETELY
FILLED IT WITH WATER, (ABOUT 4 LITRES), UNTIL IT COMES OUT OF THE AIR
VENT PLUG (2).
