• Do not permit children nor adults to sit or lean on the equipment. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the equipment.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY

GENERAL

• Our pumps may only be assembled and installed in pools or ponds that are compliant with HD 384.7.702. Should you have any doubts, please consult your specialist.
• Fit the pump horizontally due to the pre-filter. The pumps are fitted with a pre-filter with a basket inside to collect any large particles, as they may damage the hydraulic part inside the pump.
• All pumps are fitted with a foot with holes in it to anchor it to the ground {Fig. l ).

PIPING
Connect the pump’s terminals to the corresponding hoses, tightening them firmly with the clamps. (Fig.2)

LOCATION

• Fit the pump underneath the water level in the pool to improve pump performance.
• Where a self-priming pump is to be fitted above the water level, the pressure differential to the pump suction should not be higher than 0.02 MPa (2 mH20), ensuring that the suction pipe is as short as possible, as a longer pipe would increase suction time and the installation’s load losses.
• Make sure that the pump is safe from possible flooding and receives dry ventilation.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

• It is essential that you use a multiple disconnection device with a space of at least 3 mm between surfaces to disconnect the equipment from the electrical current.
• The electrical installation should be done by someone qualified in working with electrical equipment. This equipment is not designed for those with physical, sensory or mental handicap or people lacking in experience, unless done under supervision or with instructions of use from a person in charge of safely. Do not permit children nor adults to sit or lean on the equipment. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the equipment.
• Adjust the value of the thermal relay appropriately depending on the pump current.
• Use a motor guard with magneto-thermal protection (Fig.3).
• Respect the electrical installation and connection conditions. Failure to do so may lead to the pump manufacturer declining all responsibility and rendering the guarantee null and void.
• Special regulations may exist for the installation.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• Unsuitable mains connections involve the risk of electrocution

START-UP INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO START-UP

• Carry out the following operations before starting the pump:
  • Remove the pre-filter cap by unscrewing the nut holding it in place.
  • Fill the pump with water through the pre-filter until it rises up through the suction pipe.
  • Should the basket be removed during these operations, do not forget to replace it to prevent large particles from entering the pump that could block it.
  • Check that the mains voltage and frequency correspond with those indicated on the pump characteristics plate.
• Fit the pre-filter cap and screw on tight, not forgetting to fit the seal in its housing.
• The pumps must not be run without the pre-filter having first been filled with water. Where this is not the case, the mechanical gasket may be damaged, leading to a loss of water.

START-UP

• Open all the valves and connect the motor.
• Activate the self-priming and wait a reasonable time for this to be completed.

MAINTENANCE

• Clean the pre-filter basket regularly to avoid drops in pressure. To prevent the basket from breaking, do not hit it during the cleaning process.
• Empty the pump if it is to remain at a standstill for a certain length of time, especially in cold countries where there is a risk of freezing.
• Every time the pre-filter is opened, clean the seal and its seating of any impurities to ensure airtightness when the cap is closed.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• Pump components that, due to their normal use, suffer wear and/ or tear must be regularly replaced to ensure good pump performance. The following table shows the perishables and/ or consumables used in the pump and their estimated working life

The estimated working life of the parts above has been established according to normal product use and installation conditions. Follow the instructions in the installation manual to maintain the working life of the pump.
