OPERATION (cont.)
Turning the Pump On and Off
9. Depress the on/off switch (8) to the On (I) position (Fig. 15). The pump
will begin operation, the pump may take several minutes to fully prime
air from the suction line and inside the pump.
Note:
The pump can be used to perform suction up to 8 metres. This is the maximum suction height
that the pump can operate at.
Note:
The pump will automatically shut down when the cut-out pressure of
3 bar is reached. This is displayed on the pressure gauge (7) (Fig. 16).
The pump will only operate when water is drawn at the discharge outlet (1).
At all other times, the pump will cease operation to conserve energy.
When water is used and the pump’s pressure decreases to 1.5 bar the
pump will automatically restart.
10. To turn the pump off, depress the on/off switch (8) to the Off ("O")
position (Fig. 17).
Storing the Pump
11. Before storing the pump. It is recommended to empty the pressure
tank (6). Turn the drain screw (5) anti-clockwise and remove from the
pressure tank (6) (Fig. 18). This will drain any excess water. Replace
the drain screw (5) by turning clockwise.
Note:
Ensure the gate valve on your water tank is not left open as this will
allow water to drain from the water tank.
