The start-up phase can take several seconds up to several minutes. If the start-up phase is very
prolonged, stop the pump and check:
That the pump is not running while dry.
That air does not enter the suction hose.
That the suction filter is not clogged.
That the suction height does not exceed two metres. If this happens, the suction hose must be
filled with fluid.
That the drain hose releases air.
When the start-up phase is complete, check that the pump runs within the stated values. In particular:
That the motor's power consumption is kept within the specified values under extreme suction
pressure.
That the suction pressure is not greater than 0.5 bar.
That the suction pressure in the drain hose is not greater than the maximum suction pressure for
which the pump is designed.
Refuelling
1.
Lift off the pump gun from its holder and make sure it is closed.
2.
Start the pump. The overflow valve permits the pump to work for short periods with the pump gun
closed.
3.
Hold the pump gun firmly and open the gun.
4.
Close the pump gun to finish refuelling.
5.
Switch off the pump when you have finished refuelling.
6.
Replace the pump gun in the holder.
When closed, the pump gun can only be used for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the pump off after refuelling is
complete.
The pump is designed for continuous operation for a maximum of 30 minutes at a time. Under extreme
conditions with operating cycles of more than 30 minutes, the motor temperature can rise and damage
the motor. Each 30-minute operating cycle must be followed by an equally long period of rest so that the
motor cools down.
To achieve the best performance it is important to reduce the inlet pressure as much as possible. Do the
following:
Use as short suction hoses as possible.
Make sure that the hose is not bent or folded over.
Keep the filter clean.
Ensure that the hose has the right diameter.
