ATTENTION
Functioning with the delivery closed is only allowed for brief periods (2-3 minutes maximum).
After use, make sure the pump is turned off.
H4 CONNECTING THE TUBING
• Before connection, make sure that the
tubing and the suction tank are free of dirt
and thread residue that could damage the
pump and its accessories.
• Before connecting the delivery tube,
partially fill the pump body with diesel fuel
to facilitate priming.
• Do not use conical threaded joints that
could damage the threaded pump
openings if excessively tightened.
SUCTION TUBING:
- Minimum recommended nominal diameter: 1-1/4”
- Nominal recommended pressure: 10 bar
- Use tubing suitable for functioning under suction pressure
DELIVERY TUBING
- Minimum recommended nominal diameter: 1”
- Nominal recommended pressure: 10 bar
ATTENTION
It is the installer's responsibility to use tubing with adequate characteristics.
The use of tubing unsuitable for use with Diesel fuel can damage the pump, injure
persons and cause pollution.
Loosening of the connections (threaded connections, flanging, gasket seals) can cause
serious ecological and safety problems.
Check all the connections after the initial installation and on a daily basis after that.
Tighten the connections, if necessary.
H5 CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING DELIVERY AND SUCTION LINES
DELIVERY
The choice of pump model must be made keeping
the
characteristics of the system
in mind.
The combination of the length of the tubing,
the diameter of the tubing, the flow rate of the
diesel fuel and the line accessories installed
can create back pressure
greater than the
maximums anticipated
such as to cause the
(partial) opening of the pump by-pass with
the consequent noticeable reduction of the
flow rate supplied.
In such cases
, to allow correct functioning
of the pump,
it is necessary to reduce
system resistance
, using shorter tubing
and/or of wider diameter and line accesso-
ries with less resistance (e.g., an automatic
dispensing nozzle for greater flow rates).
SUCTION
Panther 56 and Panther 72 pumps are self-priming
and characterized by good suction capacity.
During the start-up phase, with an empty
suction tube and the pump wetted with fluid, the
electric pump unit is capable of suctioning the
liquid with a maximum difference in height of 2
meters. It is important to point out that the
priming time can be as long as one minute and
the presence of an automatic dispensing nozzle
on the delivery line prevents the evacuation of
air from the installation, and, therefore, prevents
proper priming.
For this reason, it is always advisable to prime
the pump without an automatic delivery nozzle,
verifying the proper wetting of the pump. The
installation of a foot valve is recommended to
prevent the emptying of the suction tube and
keep the pump wet. In this way, the pump will
subsequently always start up immediately.
When the system is functioning, the pump can
work with pressure at the inlet as high as 0.5 bar,
beyond which cavitation phenomena can
begin, with a consequent loss of flow rate and
increase of system noise.
As we have said up to this point, it is important
to guarantee low suction pressure by using
short tubing of a diameter equal to or larger than
recommended, reducing curves to a minimum
and using suction filters of wide cross-section
and foot valves with the lowest possible
resistance.
It is very important to keep the suction filters
clean because, once clogged, they increase
system resistance.
The difference in height between the pump and
the fluid level must be kept as small as possible
and, at any rate, within the 2 meters anticipated
for the priming phase.
If this height is exceeded, it will always be
necessary to install a foot valve to allow for the
filling of the suction tube and provide tubing of
wider diameter. It is recommended that the
pump not be installed at a difference in height
greater than 3 meters.
H7 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Single-phase motors are supplied with a
bipolar switch and capacitor wired and
installed inside the terminal strip box (see
diagram).
The characteristics of the capacitor are shown
on the identification plate for each pump model.
The switch has the sole function of star-
ting/stopping the pump and cannot in any
way substitute for the main circuit breaker
provided for in the applicable regulations.
• During installation and maintenance, make
sure that the electric supply lines are not live
• Use cables characterized by the
minimum cross-sections, nominal
voltages and wiring-type adequate to the
characteristics shown in Paragraph E2 -
ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS and the
installation environment.
• In three-phase motors verify the correct
direction of rotation (see Paragraph R -
DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHTS)
• All motors are equipped with a ground
terminal to connect to the ground line of
the electrical network.
• Always close the cover of the terminal strip
box before supplying electrical power, after
ascertaining the integrity of the gasket seals
that ensure protection grade IP 55.

ATTENTION
It is the installer's responsibility to provide the line accessories necessary for the safe
and proper functioning of the pump.
The use of accessories unsuitable for use with diesel fuel can damage the pump, injure
persons and cause pollution.
I
INITIAL START-UP
• Check that the quantity of diesel fuel in
the suction tank is greater than the
amount you wish to transfer.
• Make sure that the residual capacity of
the delivery tank is greater than the
quantity you wish to transfer.
• Do not run the pump dry.
This can cause serious damage to its
components.
• Make sure that the tubing and line accesso-
ries are in good condition. Diesel fuel leaks
can damage objects and injure persons.
ATTENTION
Extreme operating conditions can raise the motor temperature and, consequently,
cause the thermal protection switch to stop it.
Turn off the pump and wait for it to cool before resuming use.
The thermal protection automatically turns off when the motor is sufficiently cool.
• That the pump is not running completely
dry;
• That the suction tubing is not allowing air
to seep in;
• That the suction filter is not clogged;
• That the suction height is not greater than
2 meters (if the height is greater than 2
meters, fill the suction tube with fluid);
• That the delivery tube is allowing the
evacuation of the air.
SINGLE-PHASE MOTORS
Single-phase motors
are supplied with a
pre-existing 2-meter cable with electric plug.
To change the cable, open the terminal strip
cover and connect the line according to the
following diagram:
THREE-PHASE MOTORS
Three-phase motors
are supplied with a
terminal strip box and terminal strip.
To connect the electric motor to the electric
power line, open the terminal strip cover
and connect the cables according to the
diagram.
ATTENTION
Verify that the terminal strip blades are positioned according to the diagram provided for the
available power supply voltage. Verify the correct direction of rotation of the motor (see the
paragraph overall dimensions), and, if not correct, invert the connection of the two cables in
the power supply plug or on the terminal strip.
The pumps are supplied without electrical safety equipment such as fuses, motor protectors,
systems to prevent accidental restarting after power failures or others. It is indispensable to
install an electric panel, upstream from the pump's power supply line, equipped with an
appropriate residual current operated circuit breaker.
It is the installer's responsibility to perform the electrical connections with respect for the
applicable regulations.
• Never start or stop the pump by inserting
or removing any plugs.
• Do not operate switches with wet hands.
• Prolonged contact with diesel fuel can
damage the skin. The use of glasses and
gloves is recommended.
• Single-phase motors are provided with an
automatic thermal protection switch.
In the priming phase the pump must blow the
air initially present in the entire installation
out of the delivery line.
Therefore it is necessary to keep the outlet
open to permit the evacuation of the air.
ATTENTION
If an automatic type dispensing nozzle is installed on the end of the delivery line, the
evacuation of the air will be difficult because of the automatic stopping device that keeps the
valve closed when the line pressure is too low. It is recommended that the automatic
dispensing nozzle be temporarily disconnected during the initial start-up phase.
The priming phase can last from several seconds to a few minutes, as a function of the cha-
racteristics of the system. If this phase is prolonged, stop the pump and verify:
• That under conditions of maximum back
pressure, the power absorption of the
motor stays within the values shown on
the identification plate;
• That the suction pressure is not greater
than 0.5 bar;
• That the back pressure in the delivery line
is not greater than the maximum back
pressure anticipated for the pump.
When priming has occurred, verify that the pump is operating within the anticipated range, in
particular:
a.
If using flexible tubing, attach the ends of
the tubing to the tanks. In the absence of an
appropriate slot, solidly grasp the delivery
tube before beginning dispensing.
b.
Before starting the pump make sure that
the delivery valve is closed (dispensing
nozzle or line valve).
c.
Turn the ON/OFF switch to ON. The
by-pass valve allows functioning with the
delivery closed for only brief periods.
d.
Open the delivery valve, solidly grasping
the end of the tubing.
e.
Close the delivery valve to stop dispen-
sing.
f.
When dispensing is finished, turn off the
pump.
LACK OF ELECTRIC POWER:
A lack of electric power, with the consequent accidental stopping of the pump, can be caused
by:
- A safety device tripping
- A drop in line voltage
In either case, act as follows:
a.
Close the delivery valve
b.
Attach the end of the delivery to the slot
provided on the tank
c.
Turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
Resume operations as described in
Paragraph L - DAILY USE, after determining
the cause of the stoppage.

Suction Conditions
The tube and the pump position relative to the fluid level is such
that a pressure of 0.3 bar is generated at the nominal flow rate.
Under different suction conditions higher pressure values can be created that reduce the
flow rate compared to the same back pressure values.
To obtain the best performance, it is very important to reduce loss of suction pressure as
much as possible by following these instructions:
• Shorten the suction tube as much as possible
• Avoid useless elbows or throttling in the tubes
• Keep the suction filter clean
• Use a tube with a diameter equal to, or greater than, indicated (see Installation)
The burst pressure of the pump is of 20bar.
ATTENTION
In the case that the suction tank is higher than the pump, it is advisable to install an anti-
siphon valve to prevent accidental diesel fuel leaks.
Dimension the installation in order to control the back pressures due to water hammering.
