Mounting
Note:
Damage caused by not following the instructions is not covered by the warranty.
When unpacking the pump, make sure everything is present. Any damage must be reported to your supplier within eight days of
purchase. When you unpack the pump you may find that it is wet inside. This is because the pump is tested before it leaves the factory
to ensure that it works correctly and meets all the stated specifications. The pump is operated for several hours to run in the bearings
and complete a battery of tests, including water-tightness, noise level, vibration, overload, short-circuit, etc.
Before packaging, the pump is treated with a biodegradable disinfectant in order to prevent any possible bacterial contamination. It is
therefore strongly recommended that you flush the pump before using it in water with livestock such as fish, despite the fact that only
a minimal amount of disinfectant is used and has probably already broken down. Before commissioning you must thoroughly inspect
the pump for external damage. If damage is found, the pump should NOT be put in service; instead, contact your dealer. After commis-
sioning there is no longer any warranty coverage based on external damage of any kind.
Remove the plug from the mains socket and ensure that the unit cannot be switched on again. During installation the pump
must not be connected to the mains. To avoid serious personal injury, it is absolutely forbidden to feel inside the opening of
the pump with your hands/fingers while the pump is connected to the mains.
The device may only be used in the horizontal position, and you must place it on a firm surface so that the pump is stable.
Keep in mind that the pump must be able to purge itself of any air through the outlet. The device must be located below
the surface of the water and can be placed in (submerged) or outside the pond (dry). The pump must be located as close
as possible to the water intake point. If the pump must draw liquid from a level that is lower than the suction connection of
the pump, a foot valve / non-return valve must be placed below the lowest occurring liquid level, because the pump is not
self-priming. Thereafter, the pump must be manually filled with water.
Dry running of the pump is not allowed and will lead to irreparable damage to the rotor shaft and silicon carbide bearings. You must
pay particular attention to this if the pump is mounted above the water level (using a non-return valve). When used in dirty water a
pre-filter is necessary, as indicated in the preceding specifications. The installation of quick-disconnects (or three-piece couplings), so
the pump can be easily disconnected from the pipes, simplifies cleaning and maintenance.
The pipes should be installed so that any mechanical stresses as a result of varying temperatures have no effect on the pump housing.
If the suction line is longer than ten metres or the suction height greater than one metre, it is recommended that a suction line with a
diameter larger than that of the suction connection on the pump be chosen. All connections in the suction line must be completely
air- and liquid-tight. If a hose is used as a suction line, it must meet the requirements that would apply to a suction pipe. If there is any
risk that the pump may pump against a closed valve, a bypass/drain must be installed in the discharge line so that a small amount of
liquid is always flowing.
