GB
Prior to the first time the pump is put into operation,
the pump housing (10) has to be fully vented. To do
so, please fill the pump housing (10) through the
filling opening (7) completely with water. Install the
equipment on a solid and level surface. Filling the
intake line accelerates the intake process.
Please check to make sure that no leakage occurs.
Subsequently, close the filling opening airtight again.
It is highly recommended to vent the suction line
(1) as well, i.e. to fill it with water. It is true that the
electrical pumps of the SPIDO series are self-priming
and can be put into operation by filling only the pump
housing with water. In this case, however, the pump
will require some time before it will have sucked
in the liquid to be pumped and proceed to the
actual discharging function. In addition, this way of
proceeding may require the pump to be filled several
times. This depends on the length and diameter of
the suction line. After filling, please open any shutting
device in the pressure line, for instance a water tap,
to enable the air to escape during sucking in.
8. ON /OFF
Plug the mains plug into a 230V AC socket.
MANUAL COMMAND
Subsequently, please start the pump by operating
the on/off switch. As soon as the liquid is being
discharged evenly and without air mixture, the
system is ready for operation. To stop the pump,
please operate the on/off switch again. You may then
close the shut-off valve in the pressure line again.
This model has the necessary pressure for - if
necessary - make automation (optional).
For the automation you need an electronic or
mechanical control system that is easy to install.
The electronic control is added at the discharge port.
The mechanical control is done by a contactor and
a bladder tank.
If the pump was out of operation for some
extended period of time, the steps
described above have to be repeated for a
renewed putting into operation.
The electrical pumps of the SPIDO series are
equipped with an integrated thermal motor
protection feature. In the case of overload, the
motor will switch off independently and on again
after cooling down. For possible causes and their
elimination, please refer to the “Maintenance and
troubleshooting” section.
9. DRY-RUNNING PROTECTION
(NO INCLUDED)
In the case of dry-running or the absence of water,
the electronic pump control will cut the pump out.
This protection feature will prevent another automatic
start-up of the pump.
10. MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Prior to carrying out any maintenance work,
the pump must be separated from the
electrical mains. If you fail to separate the
unit from mains, there is a risk of an inadvertent start
of the pump.
We decline any liability for damage caused
by inappropriate repair attempts. Any
damage caused by inappropriate repair
attempts will avoid all warranty claims.
Regular maintenance and thorough care will reduce
the danger of possible malfunction and contribute to
an extension of the lifetime of your unit.
If the pump is to be put out of operation for some
extended period of time, it should be emptied
completely in by opening the water drain screw (8).
Subsequently, please flush the pump with clean
water. Then allow the pump body to dry completely
in order to prevent corrosion damage.
Water left in the pump may freeze in case of frost and
thus cause considerable damage. Please store the
pump in a dry, frost- protected place.
In the case of malfunction, you should first of all
check whether it was caused by an operating error
or some other reason which cannot be attributed to
a defect of the device - for instance a power failure.
The list below shows some possible malfunctions
of the device, possible causes and tips on their
elimination. All the measures referred to may only
be carried out with the pump being separated from
the electrical mains. If you yourself feel unable to
eliminate any of these malfunctions, please contact
the customer service department or your point of
sales. Any repair beyond the scope specified below
must only be performed by qualified staff. Please
bear in mind that all warranty claims will become
void in the case of damage caused by inappropriate
repair attempts, and that we decline any liability for
any ensuing damage.
