6.0.
Before connecting the equipment
to the mains, the following operations
will be carried out:
- Check that the electrical conditions
are correct.
- Manually check that the motor pump is
not jammed.
6.1. PUMP PRIMING.
Avoid blind functioning of the electropump.
With the pump in the aspiration position
(above the water level of the swimming
pool), before starting, remove the pump
casing cover (2) (fig. 6 page 41) and
slowly fill with clean water up to the
level of the aspiration nozzle. Close the
cover (2) again and take care that it is
hermetically closed.
With the pump below the swimming pool
water level, always with the cover (2)
hermetically closed, fill the pump by slowly
opening the aspirations cut-off valve, with
the header valve in the open position.
6.2.
The pump must not be started without
the lumps and hair filter (6) (fig. 6 page
41) since this could cause obstruction
and would block the system.
6.3. DIRECTION OF ROTATION.
Ensure that the motor shaft turns freely; do
not start the pump if it is blocked. For this
purpose, electropumps have a groove at
the end of the shaft, on the ventilator side,
which permits it to be turned manually
using a screwdriver (fig. 1, page 37).
In triphase motors, the impeller (17) can
be unscrewed if the motors starts in the
opposite direction. Counter-rotation can
even damage the mechanical seal.
Start the motor for a few seconds and
check that the direction of rotation
coincides with that indicated by the
arrow on the ventilator cover. Should
this not be the case, it is absolutely
necessary to advise the authorised
installer (invert the phase connection).
6.4.
Check that the motor does not exceed
the amperage indicated on the nameplate
rating (43) (fig. 6, page 41); otherwise,
regulate using the header valve.
Before touching, disconnect the
electricity supply.
7.1.
Regularly check and clean the motor
filter (6) (page 41).
To remove the pre-filter, place the selection
valve, and all other valves, inthe “off” position.
Loosen the cover (2) of the pump casing,
remove the basket (6) and clean it under
running water; “
do not strike
” to avoid
