8.
The maximum total head (Hmax) of the pump (in metres) shown on the pump label should
be noted by the installer.
9.
The permissible temperature is + 0
℃
and - 40
℃
. The pump should never be operated
outside of these temperatures, to do so could cause damage.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Check that the information on the nameplate corresponds to the power supply.
Employ a competent electrician to ensure wiring installation is made in accordance with any local
electrical codes. Every motor requires either a fused disconnect switch or a circuit breaker.
A SINGLE PHASE MOTOR has a built in thermal overload switch.
PUMP WATER PRIMING
The pump will prime and re-prime providing the pump basket area is full of water and there is
sufficient supply from the suction point. If you lose water from the pump basket area it will be
necessary to re-fill it before starting.
1.
Remove the translucent lid and fill the pump basket with water.
2.
Replace the lid ensuring that the O ring is correctly located and start the pump.
After you have done this allow a few minutes (maximum) running for the pump to re-prime. If
this fails then simply repeat the priming procedure.
WARNING:
Mechanical seals will be rapidly damaged and may need replacing if the pump is run dry – this
is not a warranty condition.
ENSURE that there is always adequate water in the pump basket before you start up.
If you are unable to prime the pump, please see the trouble shooting guide.
ENSURE that all suction and discharge valves are open before you start the pump, avoiding
resultant damage to the pump.
MAINTENANCE
The strainer basket in the pump should be inspected and cleaned at regular intervals.
1.
Remove lid and lift out basket.
2.
Remove debris and hose off with clean water if necessary.
3.
Inspect the lid gasket, lubricate with SILICON based grease such a magic lube, only if needed.
4.
Replace the strainer.
5.
Re-prime the pump basket area.
6.
Correctly locate the O-ring.
7.
Replace the lid (hand tighten only).
8.
Switch on the pump.
In climates where the pump may be exposed to frost or freezing, care must be taken to ensure
the pump is protected from frost damage.
It is recommended that if the pump is not used during winter periods it should be drained
completely and stored in a dry location. Do not replace the drain plug but store it in a safe place
when not in use; for example, the pump basket.
