➢
Use the pump dimensional drawing in order to ensure proper installation.
➢
Provide a suitable barrier around the work area, for example, a guard rail.
➢
Remove all debris from the pump inlet before you install the pump.
➢
Always check the impeller rotation before submerging the pump into liquid.
CAUTION:
➢
The supply voltage variation:
➢
continuous running: max±5% of the rated voltage.
➢
intermittent running: max±10% of the rated voltage.
➢
Pump should operate in water temperature between 0
o
C and 40
o
C.
➢
The pump should be used only for pumping plain water. The pump should not be used
to pump fluids such as oil, saltwater, or organic solvents.
➢
The pump must not be used in a partially disassembled state.
