ACCEPTABLE LIQUIDS
In order to pump clear water (fresh water), rainwa -
ter or non-aggressive chemical cleaning solutions.
Abrasive liquids or any other type of corrosive liq -
uid could damage or destroy the pump.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
It is recommended to use a preliminary filter and
exhauster with a suction hose, suitable and foot
valve (reflux lock) to avoid long suction times and
pointlessly damaging the pump due to stones and
solid foreign bodies
BEFORE STARTING
Before starting for the first time, the pump has to
be filled through the delivery union with the deliv -
ery liquid until it overflows.
SUCTION PIPING
ƒ
Fit the water suction pipe so that it points up -
wards towards the pump. Absolutely avoid fitting
the suction pipe higher than the pump (formation
of air bubbles in the suction pipe).
ƒ
The suction and delivery piping must be fitted so
as not to be able to apply any mechanical pressure
on the pump.
ƒ
The suction valve should be situated at least 30cm
below the bottom water level.
ƒ
Suction pipes that are not airtight suck in air ob -
structing suction of the water.
DELIVERY PIPING
During suction, the cut-off parts (sprayers, valves,
etc.) situated in the delivery piping have to be fully
open so that the air in the suction pipe can be free -
ly expelled.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
The irrigation pump is entirely maintenance-free.
Should the pump become blocked, first try rinsing.
Should it turn out that the blockage is due to the
inefficiency or complete absence of the filters, dis -
mantle the hydraulic section and thoroughly rinse
the interior, carefully reassemble and refit the fil -
ters correctly before turning back on.
ƒ
If there is a risk of frost, the pump has to be emp -
tied completely.
ƒ
When the pump is not going to be used for a
long time, for instance in the winter period, it is
recommended to rinse out the pump thorough -
ly with water, empty it completely and store it
in a dry place.
ƒ
Before restarting, check whether the pump
works freely by briefly connecting and discon -
necting it.
ƒ
Then fill the pump again with the delivery liquid
and set it up for use.
CAUTION! In order to work, the pump
must always be filled with the delivery liq -
uid until it overflows!
CAUTION! The pump must never run dry.
The manufacturer’s warranty is null and
void in the event of damage to the pump
caused by its running dry. Check that the
pump is airtight, in fact not airtight pipes
draw in air preventing the pump from work -
ing properly.
