‐
Protect the pump from unfavourable weather conditions.
‐
For long periods of inactivity or frost, remove all the caps and completely drain the pump body. Keep
the caps!
‐
To use as an outdoor pump, provide suitable protection and install the pump on an insulating base at
least 100 mm high.
‐
Store the pumps in a dry covered area, with constant air humidity.
‐
Do not wrap the motor in plastic bags! Risk of condensation!
‐
If testing the seal of the pipes at a pressure higher than 2.5 bar, exclude the pump (close the gate
valves before and after the pump).
‐
ATTENTION: do not lubricate the O-ring gasket of the transparent cover with oil or grease.
‐
Use only water and neutral soap to clean the transparent cover, do not use solvents.
‐
Periodically inspect and clean the pump filter.
‐
With the pump under the water level, close the gate valves on suction and delivery before removing the
filter cover.
The pumps may contain small quantities of residual water from testing. We advise flushing them briefly
with clean water before their final installation.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Use is allowed only if the electric system is in possession of safety precautions in accordance with the
regulations in force in the country where the product is installed (for Italy CEI 64/2).
All repair and maintenance work must be carried out only after having disconnected the pump from the
power supply mains.
RISKS LINKED TO HEATING
When the machine is operating, touch only the parts for settings and controls (operator keyboard): the
other parts can reach temperatures higher than 40°C.
Keep inflammable materials far away from the machine.
Run the machine in ventilated environments.
TYPES OF PUMPED LIQUIDS ALLOWED
The machine has been designed and made for pumping fresh or salt water from swimming pools, clean
or slightly dirty, with a limited content of fibres and small suspended solid particles.
The water temperature must not be higher than 40°C / 105°F.
DO NOT USE THE PUMP WITH LIQUIDS WITH DIFFERENT CHARACTERISTICS!
Use of the pump with a concentrated amount of sand can cause early wear and decreased pump
performance.
Do not add swimming pool chemicals (such as disinfectants, water treatment substances, etc.) directly
to the pump or in front of the pump inlet: undiluted chemicals are aggressive and can damage the pump,
while also voiding the guarantee.
