THE PUMP MUST BE SUPPORTED BY A BASE. NEVER SUSPEND THE PUMP FROM PIPES. 

3.

 

MANAGEMENT

 

 

3.1 Storage:

 

Pump must be stored in a dry, dust free covered area that is free from

 

 

vibrations. Keep the pump in its original packaging until time of installation.

 

3.2 Transport:

 

Avoid subjecting the pump to needless impacts and collisions.

4.

 

WARNINGS

 

Do not carry pump by the power cable. Always carry the

 

pump using the handle.

 

• Never allow the pump to run dry.

 

• There is a venting hole to prevent pump from cavitation

 

  when starting the pump. It is normal for a small amount

 

  of water to come out of the pump during operation.

 

(Fig.1).

 

• The sealing device contains a non-toxic lubricant which

 

  may alter the characteristics of pure water in the unlikely

 

  event of leaks.

5.

 

INSTALLATION

 

The electrical system must be compliant with local codes

.

 

Screw on the elbow with hosetail fitting provided in the 

 

packaging. For the clear water version there are two 

 

fittings, one 25 mm (0.98”) and one 30 mm (1.18”); 

 

if you want to use a pipe with a larger diameter, change

 

the elbow coupling. Use a pipe tightening clamp to secure

 

the pipe to the fitting.

 

• If the bottom of the trap where the pump is to be placed

 

  is particularly dirty, a raised support should be provided

 

  so as to avoid blocking of the suction grid (Fig.2)

   • Totally immerse the pump in the water.

 

• Ensure that the minimum dimensions of the trap in

 

  which it is housed are as follows:

  

Min. base dimensions 18.11”x18.11” (460x460 mm)

 

  Min. height 15.75” (400 mm)

 

• The dimensions of the trap must always be in relation

 

  to the quantity of water arriving and to the flow of the

 

  pump, so as not to subject the motor to excessive

 

  starts/hour. It is strongly recommended not to

 

  exceed 20 starts/hour.

ALWAYS INSTALL THE PUMP IN VERTICAL POSITION.
