HINTS WHEN USING THE PUMP
• The suction line should have a minimum diameter of 25mm (1''). For suction heights above 5m,
the suction line should have a minimum diameter of 32mm (1
1
/
4
'')
• The discharge line should have a minimum diameter of 19mm (
3
/
4
''), for optimal performance, a
discharge line with a diameter of 32mm (1
1
/
4
'') is recommended.
• The maximum pumping rate only occurs when using the largest line diameter possible, if smaller
hoses or tubes are used, the rate will reduce relative to the size of the tube or hose. Try to use
discharge pipes which have a larger diameter than the discharge outlet.
• Position the pump as close as possible to your water source.
• Locate the pump at least 150mm from a solid structure (i.e: wall or fence).
• Running the pump with no water flowing through the pipes will reduce the life of the pump and is
not recommended. The pump must be turned off at the on/off switch (8) when the gate valve at
the water source is closed or no water is available. The pump must be immediately turned off as
soon as water stops flowing through it.
The pump is automatically switched off in the event of overheating due to the built in thermal
overload protector. After cooling down, the motor automatically switches on again.
• When disconnecting the pump from the mains power supply, do not pull by the power cable (12).
Using three fingers around the three pin power plug, gently pull and disconnect from the mains power.
• The pump can be screwed into a solid base (i.e: wood and concrete) or mounted if more
rigid/permanent fixing is required.
