The pump may be gravity or suction fed. Gravity feed is the preferred arrangement as this will place less strain on the long term operation of the pump.
Depending on the installation, various plumbing accessories will be required. Determine requirements and if necessary contact your local Sealey dealer
for advice on obtaining appropriate items.
3.1.
PUMP
Locate pump in an adequate working location ensuring there is good air circulation. Externally the pump is
not designed to be totally waterproof so protect from possible wet situations. Secure the pump to a flat
horizontal surface with the outlet pipe (fig 1) pointing upwards (vertically).
To minimise the load on the pump motor (i.e. reduced flow = less load on motor), the point of discharge
(water outlet) must be at a vertical (upright) minimum distance of 1.5m. If this is not possible a
restriction valve must be installed to the outlet pipe (fig 1). This valve will regulate and reduce the
pump flow thus decreasing the motor load. Ensure pipes are adequately secured to sustain the pump
and pipe when operating.
3.2.
GRAVITY FEED (Preferred arrangement when feed water level is above the pump inlet height).
Fit an isolation valve to gravity feed pipe, which is used to turn water off and restrict flow if necessary.
3.3.
SUCTION FEED (When the feed water level is lower than the pump inlet)
The maximum distance between the feed water and the pump inlet must not exceed 4.5m. Connect
a 1 filter valve to the feed pipe inlet (fig 1) to ensure water will be retained in pump system. Connect
other end to pump inlet. It should not be necessary to control flow by use of the outlet regulator valve
which should be fully open.
NOTE: With both gravity and suction feed ensure:
1. The supply inlet pipe is the same height as the pump inlet or lower.
2. If connecting to a drinking water supply that water authority regulations are applied.
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3. INSTALLATION
5. MAINTENANCE
p
WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply safety instructions.
4.1
Check inlet water pipe is turned on accordingly or that inlet suction feed is dully placed in the water supply to a depth of at least 30mm beyond the filter.
4.2.
If using gravity feed, check and set the outlet restrictor valve as necessary.
4.3.
Prime the pump via the bleed screw (located at the side of the outlet pipe).
4.4.
If for any reason the motor should overheat a thermal circuit breaker will automatically activate and stop the pump. If this happens, switch the mains
power off and unplug. Check reason for overheating and remedy the problem. Should the pump not be switched off, the motor will remain off for
approximately 5 minutes, and when cooled will automatically switch itself on again.
p
WARNING! ELECTRICAL CONNECTION MUST BE UNDERTAKEN AND TESTED
BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
Connect the correctly rated electrical mains cable to the pump unit according to diagram A.
p
WARNING! With the exceptions listed below, pump, and electrical service, maintenance and repair must only be undertaken by an
authorised service agent. Failure to observe this rule may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.
p
WARNING! Ensure the pump is disconnected from the mains power supply before attempting any service or maintenance.
5.1
Keep all parts of the pump clean. Rinse and drain when not in use. Check all electrical connections to ensure they are in good condition.
5.2.
If pump becomes blocked, remove the inlet pipe and direct jet of water through the outlet whilst running the motor for several seconds.
Repeat this operation until the blockage has been expelled. If this action does not remedy the problem contact your local Sealey service agent.
5.3.
Clean any accessory filters according to the manufacturers instructions.
a. The thermal circuit
breaker cuts in as the
motor has overheated.
b. Motor operates but
there is no suction.
c. Insufficient water
discharge
d. The pump will not start
or suddenly stops
during operation.
12. No electrical power.
13. Circuit breaker has triggered.
14. Impeller is jammed.
12. Check cable, plug and fuse.
13. See (a) above.
14. Clean the pump.
8. Intake pipe is higher than the pump intake.
9. Pipes, valves or pump partially blocked.
10. Input pipe too narrow.
11. Water level is falling beyond pipe inlet.
8. Lower the intake pipe
9. Check and clean out blockage
10. Use wider diameter pipe.
11. Extend the pipe into the feed water
1. Motor overload due Intake pipe blocked or impeller jammed.
2. Power supply incorrect.
3. Temperature of inlet water exceeds 35
O
C
4. Pipe intake end is not in the water, or maximum intake pipe length exceeded.
5. Pump not primed.
6. Clogged or air in intake pipe
7. Leaking intake connections.
4. Check and remedy
5. Prime the pump
6. Check clear intake pipe
7. Check, tighten, or re-seal pipes.
1. Check for blockage, clean pipes and pump in/outlets.
2. If problem suspected, contact qualified electrician.
3. Reduce water temperature
* Allow the circuit breaker to cool for approx 20mins before restarting.
