TECHNICAL INFORMATION
5.1 Intended use
The appliance is designed to pump clean water from wells or rainwater cisterns
for gardening or for use in household water supply systems; these appliances
may not be used for pumping drinking waterDirt, sand and sediments are
abrasive and damage the impeller Fit suitable filters to trap these particles
upstream of the pump.
Chemically aggressive substances in the pumped liquid damage the pump.
The minimum permitted hourly flow rate is 80 l/h (1.3 l/min).These appliances
are not suitable for drip irrigation systems, since the water flow rate is too
low, meaning that the pumped liquid is unable to cool the appliance as
required.
The appliance must be installed in a dry, well ventilated place, protected
from frost and weather, with an ambient temperature not exceeding 35°C. It
must never be installed or used in the rain, in damp locations or in wells.
The appliance conforms to the EN 60335-2-41 European standard.
5.2 Improper use
Use by unskilled persons or those who have not read and understood the
instructions in the manual is forbidden.
Supplying the appliance with flammable, explosive, toxic or chemically
aggressive liquids is forbidden.
Use of the appliance in a potentially flammable or explosive atmosphere is
forbidden.
All modifications to the appliance are prohibited. Any modifications made to
the appliance render the warranty null and void and relieve the manufacturer
of all liability under civil and criminal law.
Grinding and polishing substances, or other substances which attack materials,
damage the appliance. These appliances are not suitable for pumped liquids
containing abrasive sand, mud or clay. These appliances are suitable for
pumping water for sanitary
purposes, but not for pumping drinking water!
Faucal substances may not be pumped with these appliances.
Appliances are not suitable for use as fountain pumps, as filter pumps for
garden ponds or for continuous operation (e.g. the continuous recycling of
water in swimming-pool filter systems, or industrial use).

INSTALLATION
Warning – danger!
All installation and assembly operations must be performed with the appliance
disconnected from the mains power supply (fig. 3).
Warning – danger!
Before use, always perform a visual check on the appliance, and especially the
plug (A12) and power cable (A8), for damage. A damaged appliance must not be
used; in the event of damage, have the appliance inspected by the Service
Centre or an authorised electrician.
Warning – danger!
If the power cable (A8) is cut, the warranty becomes null and void and a
replacement genuine power cable (A8) must be installed during the repair, at
the customer’s expense (even in case of repair under warranty). If it is
necessary to extend the power cable (A8), only use an extension with gauge at
least equal to that of the original power cable (A8). Never lift the appliance
or remove the plug (A12) from the socket by means of the power cable (A8).
6.1 Assembling the appliance
Before the appliance is put into operation, the suction and delivery hoses
must be connected. Place the appliance in a stable position on a flat surface,
in a location protected from flooding (fig. 4).
To prevent the transmission of vibrations to the pipes or walls, place the
appliance on a rubber mat and use lengths of hose (which must be resistant to
suction and pressure) immediately upstream and downstream of the appliance
(fig. 5) to dampen the vibrations.
6.2 Fitting the suction hose
The suction hose conveys the water from the suction point to the appliance.
Connect the suction hose to the threaded fitting (A1).
Check that the suction hose fitted is airtight, since any leaks may reduce the
appliance’s flow rate or completely prevent it from drawing in water. The
suction hose must be at least 25 mm (1”) in diameter and must be resistant to
crushing and vacuums. Use of a suction hose with foot valve is recommended. To
ensure an airtight connection, use Teflon tape (12 – 15 layers) (fig. 6). Make
sure that there is sufficient water in the suction point and that the hose
suction zone is permanently below the water level.
Since the maximum suction lift of self-priming pumps is 8 metres, the
appliance must be no more than 8 m above the water level in the suction point.
The horizontal part of the suction hose must rise continually from the suction
point to the appliance, to prevent the formation of air bubbles in the hose,
which could impair operation of the appliance (fig. 7).
A pre-filter must be installed between the suction hose and the suction
fitting (A1).
6.3 Filling the appliance
Before fitting the delivery hose, completely fill the pump body (A4) and the
suction hose with water through the delivery fitting (A2). The pump can also
be filled through the filler cap (A2 b), if present (fig. 8).
Bubbles form during filling of the pump body (A4) and must be discharged by
tilting the appliance slightly in various directions.
Fill again and repeat this procedure until the water level is just below the
filling hole.
6.4 Fitting the delivery hose
The delivery pipe fitting is on the top of the appliance (A2). The hose should
be connected to a hose or pipe with the largest possible diameter (at least 19
mm, ¾”). Smaller diameters drastically reduce the appliance’s flow rate. To
ensure an airtight connection, use Teflon tape (12 – 15 layers) (fig. 9).
6.5 Safety Measures
Safety Measures
The user must prevent damage arising from the flooding of premises or other
causes in the event of a failure of the appliance or external components by
adopting suitable measures (e.g. installation of an anti-flooding protection
circuit, alarm system, backup pump, collection tank or similar features),
which must be connected to a separate, fail-safe electrical circuit. The
safety measures must be suited to the specific conditions of use and must be
able to reduce and/or prevent the damage caused by water leaks.
The user must also install a spray guard to prevent water leaks or splashes
due to a pump failure from causing damage. A backup pump or a floor drain must
be installed to ensure that any water from leaks is promptly removed.
Otherwise, an alarm system can be installed to trigger an alarm and/or an
emergency shut-down of the appliance and water supply in the event of a water
leak, before damage to the equipment or property can occur.
We also recommend raising all equipment in appliance installation rooms about
5-10 cm above the floor so that any water leaks will not cause immediate
damage. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage caused by failure to
comply with this recommendation.
Warning – danger! Dry operation
If the appliance runs for more than 5 minutes with the water suction point
closed, it may be damaged due to overheating. Switch off the appliance when
the normal water flow is obstructed.
Dry operation will damage the appliance beyond repair, so never allow it to
run dry for more than 10 seconds.
ADJUSTMENTS
7.1 Preliminary adjustments
Our appliances are preset in the factory and users must not modify these
settings.
START-UP
Warning – danger!
All installation and assembly operations must be performed with the appliance
disconnected from the mains power supply (fig. 3).
8.1 Start-up
Once all the pipes have been connected and the pump body (A4) is full of
water, the plug (A12) can be connected and the ON/OFF switch (A5) turned to
ON. During the priming phase, the delivery pipe must be open to allow the air
in the system to escape and to enable the water pressure to build up. If the
suction hose is not completely full of water, it may take the appliance up to
7 minutes to become fully operational. If the water has not pressurised after
the maximum priming time stated, switch the appliance off and proceed as
described in the troubleshooting plan (chapter 11).
8.2 Technical information
The appliance’s stated flow rate values are maximum values, which are reduced
if external components (e.g. delivery hose, elbows, pre-filter, etc.) are
used. This should be borne in mind when choosing the appliance. The actual
flow rate for specific installation conditions is stated in the flow rate
graph (fig. 10).
MAINTENANCE
Warning – danger!
Before any maintenance procedure and/or during troubleshooting, disconnect the
power cable (A8) from the socket.
9.1 Cleaning the filters
Clean the pre-filter (if installed) regularly with clean water and/or inspect
it to ensure that it is not fouled. Sluice the filter compartment with clean
water.
STORAGE
Warning – danger!
Before any maintenance procedure and/or during troubleshooting, disconnect the
power cable (A8) from the socket.
It is essential to protect the appliance from frost, and in case of
temperatures of +5°C or below it must be uninstalled and stored in a dry
place, protected from frost. After disconnecting the suction and delivery
hoses, tilt the appliance to drain out all the water in the pump body (A4)
through the suction fitting (A1). To empty the pump body (A4) turn the
appliance upside down to drain the water from the delivery fitting (A2).
