Prior to using this pump you must ensure that:
• The pump is installed in a safe and dry
environment
• The pump enclosure has adequate drainage in
the event of leakage
• Any transport plugs are removed
• The pipe-work is correctly sealed and supported
• The pump is primed correctly
• The power supply is correctly connected
• All steps have been taken for safe operation
Appropriate details for all of these items are
contained in the following Installation and Operating
Instructions. Read these in their entirety before
switching on this pump. If you are uncertain as to
any of these Installation and Operating Instructions
please contact your Davey dealer or the appropriate
Davey office as listed on the back of this document.
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.
POWER CONNECTION
In accordance with AS 3350.2.41 we are
obliged to inform you that this pump
is not to be used by children or infirm
persons and must not be used as a toy
by children.
The electrical connections and
checks must be made by a
qualified electrician and comply
with applicable local standards.
Connect lead to power supply
designated on pump label, do
not use long extension leads as
they cause substantial voltage
drop, poor pump performance
and may cause motor overload.
PIPE CONNECTIONS
For best performance use P.V.C. or polythene pipe
at least the same diameter as the pump’s inlet.
Larger diameter pipe may be used to minimise
resistance to flow when pumping longer distances.
Use unions at pipe connections to enable easy
removal and servicing. Use sufficient tape to ensure
airtight seal and hand tighten only, do not screw
connections all the way into suction port. To prevent
strain on pump thread always support heavy inlet
and outlet pipes.
Lay suction pipe at a constant gradient to avoid air
pockets which may reduce pump efficiency.
