WARNINGS & IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1.
(A) PIPE SIZE & PIPE TYPE: Install the pump as near as possible to the discharge to reduce the length of delivery pipe. Use as few bends as possible, every bend
reduces performance.
(B) MORE INFO RE PIPE SIZE: Ensure the pipe is optimized for the Head (lift) and Flow and Velocity required. Pipes that are too small means more power will
be used as the pump has to work harder to overcome the extra back-pressure from small pipes. A small short-term (in the cost of the pipes) will become a long-
term liability
2. SEAL JOINTS: Ensure all fittings and joints are watertight and airtight.
3. INSTALLATION AND ELECTRICAL WIRING: Must adhere to state and local codes and must be completed before using the pump. All pumps come with an
earth cable and all electrical installations must be earthed. Any electrcial work must be performed by a licenced Electrician. The installation must also comply
with applicable Plumbing Regulations, it is the installers responsibility to ensure compliance.
4. IMPORTANT RE SAFETY SWITCH (RCD):
(A) 240V Pumps must be connected to a suitable power circuit with an integral RCD (safety switch) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding
30mA, in the circuit breaker. Disconnect the pump from power supply when people are in the water, or when servicing or repairing the pump. All warranty is
voided if this instruction is not followed. Note: Plugging into existing outlets may cause low voltage supply to the motor, causing blown fuses, tripping of motor
overload, or burnt out motor, which will not be covered by the Warranty.
(B) 415V Pumps must be installed by a licenced Electrician, in compliance with the applicable Electrical Regulations & Australian Standards.
5.VOLTAGE: of power supply must match the voltage of the pump. Do not run on generator power from low quality/old generators. High quality “Sine-Wave”
generators are usually acceptable but we cannot guarantee this, as we have no control over the generator that you use, it is your responsibility to ensure the
generator used is fit for the purpose.
6. WARNING: These pumps are not designed for, and must not be installed in locations classifed as hazardous.
7. THE FOLLOWING MAY CAUSE SEVER DAMAGE TO THE PUMP AND WILL VOID WARRANTY:
a.
Using an extension cord to power the pump
b. Cutting the earth pin off the plug or using an adapter fitting or double adapter.
c.
Working on the pump while connected to the power supply.
d. Removing motor housing, or disassembling the pump housing, except by a qualified technician.
e.
Pumping chemicals or corrosive liquids or flammable liquids.
f.
Pumping hot liquids (Exceeding 35˚ Centrigrade)
g. Using a generator for power supply
h.
Operations that involve frequent starting. This will lead to premature failure of the capacitor
i.
Dry operation will destroy the pump seals and is not covered by warranty
WARNING!
ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS
DO NOT INSTALL PUMP if the premises does not have a Safety Switch (RCD)
Before servicing a pump, always shut off the power supply and then make sure you are not standing in water and that there is no risk of electrical shock. If pump
is direct-wired to the electrical circuit, have a qualified licensed electrician disconnect it before attempting any repairs or servicing.
DO NOT ATTEMPT ELECTRICAL REPAIRS OF ANY SORT UNLESS YOU ARE A LICENSED
