The guarantee does not cover accidents due to installation. This pump must be installed in accordance
with the standards currently in force and by qualified staff. We advise you to get in contact with an
electrician.
The fixed pipes which the pump is to be connected up to must include a separation device with contacts
whose aperture is at least equal to 3 mm over all the poles.
If the pump is used for the operation of a swimming pool, it must be supplied with power by means of an
isolating transformer or by a circuit comprising a core balance transformer with assigned operating residual
current not exceeding 30 mA. The pump must not be used in outside fountains, garden pools or similar
situations.
NOTE:
This pump is not designed to be used in pool cleaning or other pool maintenance tasks. When used
for the operation of a swimming pool, the pump must be installed in an enclosed service room.

Electrical connection:
IMPORTANT
:
If the supply lead is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales service or a similarly
qualified technician in order to prevent any danger (contact the dealer for the list of approved after-sales
service agents).
1.
Check that the mains power supply is the same as that stated on the pump indicator plate.
2.
Check that the supply lead is not damaged.
3.
Turn off power of the wall socket which the pump will be connected to using the separation device (see
section entitled “Major recommendations”).
4.
Connect the cable plug to the 10/16A wall socket. The latter must have an earthing pin.
5.
Turn power back on for several seconds in order to carry out a no-load test of the pump. Do not operate
the pump for more than 2-3 seconds in order to avoid excessive over-heating. Such an occurrence would
cause permanent damage.
6. When power supply is again turned off, proceed to connect up pipes as set out in the following
paragraphs.
4)
CONNECTION OF THE SUCION PIPE
The set of pipe’s fittings must be mounted using Teflon so as to ensure complete air-tightness.
In the case of fittings with gaskets or O-rings, it is not necessary to use Teflon.
Ensure that the gaskets hold firm over time .The suction pipe must have a minimum diameter of 25 mm and
be rigid to prevent crushing. We recommend fitting a strainer (mounting with Teflon). Use clamping rings if
necessary.
In all cases, the suction pipe must not be oriented upwards. In the case of a chamber with sand or gravel,
position the strainer 50 cm from the bottom or in a bucket at the bottom of the chamber.
IMPORTANT!
It is
imperative
that the suction pipe which include a non-return valve.
It is therefore necessary to ensure that this valve is included or obtain one prior to any connection. We
recommend the use of a set-up comprising a strainer plus non-return valve.
5)
CONNECTION OF THE DISCHARGE PIPE
In order to avoid leaks and obtain optimum performance, it is important to mount the fittings using Teflon.
6)
START-UP
-
Unscrew the filler cap on the pump casing.
-
Using a receptacle, fill the pump casing until overflowing occurs. (Do not throw water on the electrical
parts).
-
Put the cap back in place and screw it sufficiently tight to prevent air intake.
-
If the water level drops in the case, re-examine the suction pipe fitting and proceed to again fill the
casing.
-
Turn off the discharge line valve of your installation.
-
Ensure that there is no water on the electrical parts of the pump and that there is no leakage.
-
Connect the power plug to a 10/16A socket featuring an earthing pin.
-
Activate the power supply switch.
-
The pump starts working and cuts out automatically as soon as pressure in the tank reaches 3 bars
approx.
-
Slowly open the discharge line valve. The pump begins to discharge without the engine starting thanks
to the water stored in the tank.
