3. INSTALLATION
Ÿ
The pump can be used for various drainage and water transfer installations for
tanks, ponds and basements. It is best installed in a sump of minimum 35cm
square and 40cm deep to allow for float switch operation
NOTE
In the case of continuous use of the pump with the rope,
the condition of the rope must be checked regularly as it
can decay and break over time.
WARNING
Do not lift the pump with the cable or pressure hose as
these are not designed for the tensile stress from the
weight of the pump.
Ÿ
Ÿ
Submerge the pump at an angle into the liquid to be pumped so that no air
pocket forms on the underside of the appliance which affects suction. Once
the pump is submerged, it may be straightened as desired.
Ÿ
The pump should not be suspended by its cable or delivery pipe. It should
either rest on a solid, level base or be suspended by steel cable or chain.
Ÿ
The pump must be connected by either a rigid pipe or hose; diameter should
be no less than the outlet connector.
Ÿ
Ensure the pump is not resting on silt or sand during normal operation or
impeller damage will occur.
Ÿ
Adjust the low level control switch on its clip to ensure free float movement and
sufficient time between start and stop cycles.
The float switch must be able to move to protect the
pump from dry running.
