Safety Warnings for Submersible Pumps

Appropriate Use of the Pump

This line of submersible pumps is designed to pump fresh and clear water from springs, wells and other water reservoirs, as well as water reservoirs or irrigation systems with clear water and solid particles up to 1,34”
CAUTION • To prevent blockages, do not operate the pump with waters containing larger particles
WARNING • Do not pump corrosive, combustible or explosive substances (gasoline, petroleum, thinner nitrate) grease, oil, salt and sewer water.
CAUTION • The pump is not designed to operate continuously. Cannot be used replacing continuous use fixed pumps. The useful life of the pump will be shorter in relation to the use. CAUTION • The pump is not adequate for commercial use, nor for permanent circulation and filtering systems, or to be used with liquids containing abrasive materials, or soil, sand, mud, or clay mixes. Any of those uses is considered inadequate and can damage the pump.
The temperature of the liquids shall not exceed 95 °F, nor as cold as there is the possibility of
CAUTION • Prevent the pump from running dry.
WARNING • Do not use the pump in the nearness of areas where explosives, flammable liquids or gases are kept. CAUTION • Any change or modification to the pump and the use of non-approved spare parts could damage the equipment and cause accidents.To prevent accidents, it is forbidden to wash things, swim or bathe into the water container where the pump is running.
CAUTION • Always verify the pump before each use, (especially the power cable and its plug). A damaged pump shall not be used. Go to a Authorized Service Center to have it fixed.
** • Any type of repairs shall be carried out by a certified technician. If repairs are carried out in a faulty manner there is danger of liquid entering into the electric components.
WARNING • It is not advisable that people (including children), with reduced physical, sensorial or mental capacities, as well as people with no experience or knowledge, use the pump except if they are supervised by people responsible for their safety or having received previous instructions for the pump’s use.
CAUTION** • Children shall be supervised to ascertain they do not play with the pump. Strict supervision is required when people with reduced capacities or children use any power device or are close to them.

WARNING • Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. Always disconnect the plug and do not pull off the power cable. Do not use the power cable to lift, carry or hold the pump in any way. Do not use the cable for uses different to the specified use. Do not pull the cable while the pump is running. It can get damaged and cause an electric shock.

Parts

CAUTION • Before installing double check the pump, cable and plug are not showing any damage due to transportation and storage.

Connect the hose to the hose into the connection most suitable for the needs ( A ). Use a clamp to fasten the soft
C hoses and a soldered flange for steel hoses.
To submerge the pump, tie one end of rope“included” onto the transportation handle ( B ).

CAUTION • Never use the power cable or the float switch to carry or hang the pump.

Tie the other end of the rope to some fixed point to support the pump not deeper than 16,4 ft under the water Make sure the suction base openings are not partially or totally obstructed. Setting the pump onto a brick is recommended.
Double check there are no obstacles so that the float switch can move freely ( C ).

NOTE The minimum diameter where the pump is set shall be 15,7” so that the float switch can move freely. B

Float Switch

The float switch goes On and OFF automatically depending on the water level When the float switch is placed into the same height as the transport handle, the pump starts; and when it goes down to approximately 4”, it turns it off.
To control the float switch manuallyl and prevent the pump to automatically shut off, you may set the switch cable through the transport handle ( D ) so that the float cannot plunge down and shut off the

**CAUTION** • When controlling the float switch manually keep on supervising the pump’s functioning and prevent the water level to be so low it will make the pump operating dry.

Start Up

**WARNING** • Avoid the pump operating dry, otherwise it can break down. When the water stops flowing, disconnect the pump immediately.
