GENERAL SAFETY

• ARNING! The pump must be used in accordance with Health & Safety, government, local authority and water authority rules and regulations.
• Familiarise yourself with the application, limitations, and potential hazards peculiar to the pump.
• ARNING! Disconnect the pump from the main power before servicing or performing any maintenance.
• Maintain the pump in good condition (use an authorized service agent). Keep the pump clean.
• Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorized parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
• Only use for pumping cold or warm water (NOT exceeding 35°C).
• If used in situations of possible flooding, the user is responsible for installing appropriate backup procedures, alarms etc. in case of pump failure.
• If used with swimming pools, fish ponds, etc., ensure areas are clear of people and animals (including removal of fish from ponds). Note that this pump is not designed for continuous use in a fish pond or similar water feature or display.
• DO NOT operate the pump if any parts are damaged or missing as this may cause failure and/or possible personal injury.
• DO NOT use the pump for any purpose other than for which it is designed.
• DO NOT use to pump chemicals, fuels, fatty liquids or salt water.
• DO NOT pump sludge, sand, gravel, mud, or fibrous materials. Ensure the inlet hose will NOT pick up any solid materials. Sand and such substances will reduce working life of the pump, and invalidate your warranty.
• DO NOT use to pump septic tanks or settling pits.
• DO NOT submerge the pump or the electrical cable in water. Protect the pump from external wet conditions.
• DO NOT operate the pump during freezing temperatures. DO NOT allow any part of the pump or pipes to freeze.
• DO NOT carry pump by the cable, or piping. Only use the handle.
• When not in use switch off the pump and remove the plug from the power supply. Rinse the pump, drain out any water, and store in a frost-free, safe location.

INTRODUCTION

Manufactured from heavy-duty corrosion-resistant materials in either stainless steel or polypropylene. Suction pump suitable for drawing brackish water up to 8 metres. Includes a removable filter for easier maintenance.

SPECIFICATION

INSTALLATION

The pump may be gravity or suction fed. Gravity feed is the preferred arrangement as this will place less strain on the long-term operation of the pump. Depending on the installation, various plumbing accessories will be required. Determine requirements and if necessary contact your local Sealey dealer for advice on obtaining appropriate accessories.

PUMP
Locate the pump in a suitable area, ensuring that there is good air circulation. Externally the pump is not designed to be totally waterproof to protect it from possible wet situations. Bolt the pump to a flat horizontal surface with the outlet pipe (fig.1A) pointing vertically upwards.

GRAVITY FEED
(preferred arrangement when the feed water level is above the pump inlet). Fit an isolation valve to the gravity feed pipe. Valve is used to turn water off and to restrict the flow if required.

SUCTION FEED
(when the feed water level is lower than the pump inlet).

• If the distance (HA) is less than 4m; use a feed pipe of 1” diameter.
• If the distance (HA) is greater than 4m; use a feed pipe of greater than 1” diameter.
• The distance (HA) must not exceed 8m.
• Connect a filter valve to the feed pipe inlet (fig.1B) to ensure water will be retained in the pump system.
• Connect another end to the pump inlet. The filter should be situated at approximately 0.5m beneath the water level.
• We advise that a check valve is installed directly on the delivery line, to prevent the pump from being damaged by a “water hammer” and that a cut-off valve is also installed (downstream from the check valve) to facilitate maintenance work.

NOTE:
With both gravity and suction feed ensures that the supply inlet pipe is the same height as the pump inlet or lower, and that, if connecting to a drinking water supply, the water authority regulations are adhered to.

OPERATION

• WARNING! Ensure that you read, understand, and apply Section 1 Safety Instructions.
• Check inlet water pipe is turned on or that the inlet suction feed is placed in the water supply to a depth of at least 0.5m.
• If using gravity feed, check and set the outlet restriction valve as necessary.
• Prime the pump via the filler hole (fig.1C). Replace the cap and ensure that there are no leaks. Open any closing/cut-off devices on the delivery tube.
• To run the pump, plug into the electrical mains supply and press the switch located on the side of the pump to ‘I’.
• If for any reason, the motor should overheat, a thermal circuit breaker will automatically activate and stop the pump. If this happens, switch the mains’ power off and unplug. Check the reason for overheating and remedy the problem. If the pump is not switched off, the motor will cool, after which it will automatically restart.

MAINTENANCE

• WARNING! Apart from the exceptions listed below, mechanical and electrical service maintenance and repair must only be undertaken by an authorized service agent. Failure to observe this rule may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.
• WARNING! Ensure that the pump is disconnected from the mains power supply before attempting any service or maintenance.
• Keep all parts of the pump clean. Rinse and drain via a draining hole (fig.1D) when not in use. Check all electrical connections to ensure that they are in good condition.
• If pump becomes blocked, remove the inlet pipe and direct a jet of water through the outlet whilst running the motor for several seconds. Repeat this operation until the blockage has been expelled. If this action does not remedy the problem contact your local Sealey service agent.
• Unscrew the lid of the inlet filter (anticlockwise) remove the filter gauze and clean it in running water, see fig.1.E. Replace.
• Clean any accessory filters according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
