Before installing your new pump, please read all instructions carefully as
failures caused by incorrect installation or operation are not covered by the
guarantee. Your CY Electric Pump is designed to handle clean water. The
system should not be used for any other purpose without specific referral
to Davey. The use of the pump to pump flammable, corrosive and other
materials of a hazardous nature is specifically excluded.
Choosing a Site
Choose a site with a firm base as close to the water
source as possible with correct power supply. Make sure
your pump is always connected to an adequate, reliable
source of clean water.
Housing your Davey Pump
To protect your pump from the weather, make
sure the pump house is both water proof, frost
free and has adequate ventilation.
The pump should be mounted on a firm base
allowing for drainage, to avoid damage to
flooring etc., that over time may occur from
leaking pipe joints or pump seals.
Do not mount the pump vertically.
WARNING: Some insects, such as small ants, find electrical
devices attractive for various reasons. If your pump enclosure is
susceptible to insect infestation you should implement a suitable
pest control plan.
