Carry out any and all adjustments and operations
necessary to assemble your pump correctly. If you have
any questions or difficulties in doing so, contact your
official distributor.
While your Pump is operational
This pump has been designed to pump clean water with
a maximum temperature of 35°C.
Do not, under any circumstances, use the pump with
corrosive, abrasive, easily combustible or explosive
substances (such as petrol, diesel, benzene / thinner),
grease, oils, salt water and sewage (toilets and urinals).
Do not use the pump on water that contains sand.
Sand causes and increases pump (especially
turbine) wear and reduces flow.
Control and safety features installed on the pump must
not be removed or tampered with.
Operating Instructions
Carefully start the pump following the instructions for
usage in the instruction manual. Following these
instructions while using the pump reduces the risk of
injury.
Submersible pumps are not designed to work
continuously. If used continuously, the lifespan of the
pump will be considerably reduced.
Avoid using the pump if the water outlet is either
partially or completely blocked.
Avoid running the pump dry. Operating the pump
without water damages the seals. The pump should
shut down immediately if it detects a water shortage.
The pump automatically shuts down if it overheats,
which is detected via the heat sensor which is inside the
motor. Once cool again, the engine will restart
automatically.
To turn the pump off, unplug the power cable from the
socket. Do not pull on the power cord itself.
To prevent frost damage, store the pump in a dry place.
If the pump is permanently installed outdoors, before
using it in Winter check the turbine chamber for ice;
Maintenance and cleaning Instructions
Cleaning:
The pump must be cleaned thoroughly once taken out
of the water.
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents. These products
can damage plastics and metals, impairing your pump
from operating safely.
Maintenance work:
Only maintenance work described in this instruction
manual may be performed on your pump. All other
work must be performed by an official distributor.
Always keep warning and instruction labels clean and
legible.
Ensure all nuts and bolts are always tightened so that
the pump is kept in safe working order.
If you remove any safety components or features for
maintenance work, they must be replaced immediately
and correctly once the work has been completed.
Use only VITO authorized couplings or accessories, or
technically identical parts, on this pump. If you do not,
you risk injuring yourself or damaging the pump.
If you lack the necessary knowledge and resources or if
you have any questions, contact an official distributor.
Technical Assistance
Your pump should only be serviced by the
manufacturer's internal service personnel, or other
qualified personnel, replacing any necessary parts with
original parts sourced directly from the manufacturer.
INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Pump installation
When installing the pump, ensure the pump is
never suspended freely from the water outlet
hose or cable or the power cord. The pump must be
suspended from a rope which is attached to the handle
(5) provided for the purpose, or placed at the bottom of
the well, pool or garden pond.
When installing the pump so that it operates in
automatic mode, the location where the pump will
be installed must be at least 50 x 50 x 50 cm in length,
width and height respectively, to allow the float switch
to move freely.
When inserting the pump into water, it should be tilted
slightly to ensure water enters the turbine chamber.
This reduces the possibility of the pump taking in air
when it starts. If necessary, tilt the pump backwards and
forwards several times until no more air bubbles
appear.
