Limitations:
This series of pumps are suitable to pump rain water and also can be used both for permanent and
temporary installation.
The pump can be place for sump pit that means it could pump dirty water containing suspended solid
particles 19mm/ 3/4inches diameter.
(The screen size is 8mm/ 1/3inches).
! WARNING :
The pump cannot be used for sea water and flammable, corrosive, explosive or dangerous
liquids.
Installation :
! WARNING :
Do not work on pump until power is unplugged.
Do not cut off ground pin or use an adapter fitting.
Do not use an extension cord
The pump power cord should be connected to a separately fused, grounded line with a minimum capacity
of 15 amps. It can be connect to non- fuse breaker at the recommended amperes. Never touch the pump
when it is connected to electrical power.
1. Before installing or servicing this pump, be certain pump power source is disconnected.
2. Installation and electrical wiring must adhere to state and local codes and must be completed before
priming pump. Check appropriate community agencies, or contact local electrical and pump
professionals.
3. Call an electrician when in doubt. Pump should be connected to a separate 15 amps' circuit breaker or
15 amps' fuse block. Note that, plugging into existing outlets may cause low voltage at motor,
causing blown fuses, tripping of motor overload, or burned out motor.
4. A permanent ground connection from pump to the grounding bar at the service panel is mandatory,
Matala Pump sump pumps come with a grounding conductor and a grounding-type attachment plug.
Do not connect pump to a power supply until permanently grounded. For maximum safety, connect
pump to a circuit equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter device when you position the
pump's grounding wire.
5. Voltage of power supply must match the voltage of the pump.
6. Before installing pump, clear sump basin of any water, debris, or sediment.
! WARNING :
Sump basin must be vented in accordance with local plumbing codes. Matala Sump
pumps are not designed for and CANNOT be installed in locations classified as
hazardous.
7.
! WARNING :
The following may cause severe damage to pump and will void warranty:
(a) Using an extension cord.
(b) Cutting off the ground pin or using an adapter fitting.
(c) Working on pump or switch while plugged in.
(d) Removing motor housing, unscrewing impeller, or otherwise removing impeller seal.
(e) Pumping chemicals or corrosive liquids.
(f) Pumping gasoline or other flammable liquids.
(g) Piping: Plastic PVC pipe, drain hose, galvanized steel or copper pipe may all be used.
All piping must be clean and free of all foreign matter to prevent clogging. Use thread
compound on all threaded joints unless specified otherwise. Be sure to seal the
thread connection with tape seal when you using the pipe fitting to connect the flange.
Electrical Wiring __ _
Electrical wire Connection :
! WARNING :
Verify that the voltage and frequency of the electric pump shown on the nameplate
correspond to those available on the mains.
The installer must make sure that the electric system is grounded in accordance with the law
in force.
It is necessary to use cable with a length of 10m for outdoors using. The plug and connections should be
protected from water splashes. Before using the pump, always inspect it visually (especially power cable
and plug).
