Important information

• The pump must be earthed with no strain placed on the electrical cable.
• All maintenance should be carried out with the power supply disconnected.
• The pump is only designed for clean water use i.e. water containing no solid particles. Pumping muddy water or water containing suspended solids will severely reduce the life expectancy of the unit. Note: this type of application falls outside of the factory warranty.
• Extending the cable will affect your factory warranty. Always make use of an approved extending plug adapter.
• The pump should be installed in a ventilated, undercover area to protect the unit against direct sunlight, rain and spray from an irrigation system. A JoJo pump cover is recommended for best protection.

Copper, HDPE or any SABS approved piping (minimum ¾ inch or 22mm)

Helical coil reinforced flexible hose 1” or 25mm

INSTALLATION

The foundation should be solid enough to support the pump. It is recommended to secure the unit by bolting it to concrete or a paved surface. Before building the foundation, take the following into consideration:

• The placement of the pump incl. the direction of inlet/outlet.
• The height – ensure that the water level in the tank is higher than the suction side of the pump.
• Ensure the pump base is level so that the pump shaft is aligned horizontally.
• The pump suction line and fittings must all be on a horizontal plane.
• The discharge line and fittings must be on a vertical plane.
• The suction and discharge pipes should be supported independently by utilising pipe hangers and support blocks – this will prevent strain on the pump joints and casing.
• Before making a connection, always check the pipe alignment to ensure it is correct.
• The inlet and discharge pipe should align with the pump to ensure there are no bends or kinks that might affect the flow.
• The inlet and discharge pipe/connections must correspond with the design specifications of the pump as it may directly affect the efficiency and power consumption of the pump.
• The diameter of the suction and discharge pipe must be equal or greater than that of the ports of the pump.
• When being used as an alternative water supply for a home, install non-return valves to ensure no back pressure to the municipal supply or the pump.

PRIMING INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: the pump needs to be primed prior to use to ensure proper functionality and to prevent possible damage to any of the components.

1. Ensure that the ball valve between the tank and pump is open.
2. Open the air valve on the pump casing by removing the priming screw, to allow the air in the volute to escape and for it to be filled with water via gravity feed. The suction line and pump should slowly fill with water until a steady flow is visible from the air valve. Note: this also ensures that all air has been removed from the casing and suction piping.
3. If after a few seconds water is not visible from the air valve, fill the pump volute manually until it is overflowing.
4. Put the priming screw back in place and then tighten. Do not over tighten.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

After priming the pump, do the following to test it and ensure proper operation:

1. Check that the ball valve (a) between the tank and the pump is open and that the discharge val (ve b) on the pump is closed. Note: it is always advised to install a ball valve between pump and tank for maintenance purposes.
2. Insert the plug into the main power supply and switch the plug on. The power indicator light of the flow controller must be illuminated.
3. Open the discharge valve (b), the pump should start automatically.
4. Close the discharge valve (b), the pump will switch off within 15 to 20 seconds (this is a built-in safety feature that protects the pump). This tests the pressure controller operation.
5. Close the inlet valve (a) and open the discharge valve (b). The pump will switch on and run for 15 to 20 seconds. The pump should then stop operating and the failure light on the flow controller should be illuminated. This tests the run dry operation.
6. Open the inlet valve (a) and press the reset button on the flow controller. The pump will start running. After completing steps one to six, the pump will be ready for use.
