PRIMING
Fill the pump completely with clean
water before switching it on.The water
should be poured in through the priming
plug (Fig.F).
When you have completed the
operation,screw the plug back in again
and start the pump.The pump should be
primed again whenever it has not been
used for a long period of time or when
air has made its way into the system.
IMPORTANT
Never run the pump empty. lf this
happens by mistake,switch the pump
off,wait for it to cool down and then
prime it using clean water.
MAINTENANCE
Our pumps do not require any
maintenance provided one takes the
following precautions:
When there is a risk of freezing,
empty the pump through the drain
plug on the bottom of the pump
body,making sure you prime it
when subsequently starting it again;
check that the foot valve is clean at
regular intervals; if the pump is to
remain unused for a long period of
time (e.g. in the Winter) (Fig.G),it
is advisable to empty it completely,
rinse it with clean water and store it
in a dry place;
If the shaft does not turn freely,
release it using a screwdriver
inserting it in the special
slot(Fig.H);
If this is not sufficient to solve
the problem,remove the pump
body,undoing the relevant mounting
bolts,and clean it thoroughly to
remove any encrustation.
Never carry out any work on
the pump without having first
disconnected it from the mains
supply.
