16 Preparation booster pump (accessory)
Electrical system
Caution!
Connect the pump only to power sockets with
earthing contact. For increased safety we
recommend a GFCI switch with a rated residual
current of 30 mA for the circuit to which the pump
will be connected. This applies particularly when
setting up the device near water tanks, ponds etc.
Line connection
Caution!
It has to be ensured that the suction pipe and/or
supply line is connected to the earmarked position.
If the pump runs in suction mode, it has to be
ensured that the suction line is kept as short as
possible.
17 Initial start-up, fill pump
Fig. 27:
Fill pump
Fill the PFT booster pump with water prior to initial start-up to let
the air escape from the pump housing.
Fill in water via the water filling screw (1) or the water inlet (2).
The filling should not be carried out too quickly to let the air escape
completely from the housing.
It is best if the suction hose is also filled at that time.
17.1 Start-up booster pump
The following instructions have to be observed before operating
the pump.
The pump has to be installed in a horizontal position.
Before start-up both the suction line and the pressure line have to
be connected. It is important that the lines are of adequate
dimensions:
At least 1“ for the suction line
At least 3/4" for the pressure line
The hose must be completely airtight and immersed in the liquid to
be pumped to void air being sucked in.
