START UP INSTRUCTIONS

LIST OF MATERIALS

This machine includes the following elements that you will find inside the box:

•  Pump.
•  Instruction manual.
• Remove all elements from the box and check that all are included.
• Remove carefully all the elements from the box and make sure that all listed parts are included. Due to the quality controls done at the factory it is highly improbable that your machine has any faulty part or that any elements are missing. If you find any damaged part or there are any elements missing, do not use the machine until the problem has been solved or you have been given the missing parts. Usage of the machine with defective or missing parts is dangerous and could result in personal injuries.

MOUNTING AND INSTALATION

The pump must be installed in a flat surface, cold, dry and at a safe distance from the water that will be pumped to guarantee that the pump will in no case be reached by water.
FIXING THE MACHINE FOR FIXED INSTALLATION
Hold the pump to the ground using some screws that hold the legs of the pump. Should you not be able to screw to the ground, then use a mounting plaque (wood or metal) that ensures the stability of the pump. Take into account that you will need space to access the filling cap abd to prime the pump and that to empty the pump you will need space to access the emptying cap, space to place a recipient to allow the water to fall into when emptying the pump and finally space for connecting all the tubes and cables. Take into account these factors when installing the pump. Install the pump above the maximum level of water aspiration. If this is not possible, install a closing valve between the pump and the aspiration tube that allows you to close the water when doing maintenance work or when uninstalling the pump.
ASPIRATION CONNECTION
For a good aspiration of water, the connection must be totally waterproof. Connect the aspiration tube using a 1¨ male connector to the aspiration of the pump. If you use a hose instead of a tube for aspiration make sure that the hose is adequate and depression resistant. If you use a traditional hose and due to the water depression, the walls of the hose will stick together and will not allow water to flow.
Recommendations:

• We recommend you install an anti return valve in the aspiration tube to avoid water returning back to the pump when the pump is not working.
• We recommend that you do not use hoses or tubes wider than 1´ in diameter. Using tubes of more than 1¨ could lower the performance of the machine.
• If the installation is fixed, we recommend using a flexible metallic hose to avoid transmitting noise and vibrations to the installation.
• If the aspiration height is more than 3 meters, we recommend that the hose or pipe is held in a fixed point so that its weight once it is full of water, is not supported by the pump.
• It is also recommended to install a filter for particles at the end of the tube or hose to avoid dirt particles entering the pump and blocking it.

IMPULSION CONNECTION
Connect the impulsion tube using a 1¨ male connector to the aspiration of the pump. If you use a hose instead of a tube for aspiration make sure that the hose is adequate and depression resistant. If the installation is fixed, we recommend using a flexible metallic hose to avoid transmitting noise and vibrations to the installation.
ELECTRIC CONNECTION
It is obligatory to connect the machine to a mains switch protected by a residual differential equal to or less than 30mA. Electricity tension should be 230v, frequency 50Hz and have a magnet and thermic switch between 10A-16A. When using a cable extension, make sure that its minimum section is 1.5mm2 and no longer than 25 meters, always unrolled and adequate for outdoor use. The use of the cable extension adequate for outdoor use, reduces the risk of electric shock. Place the cable extension in such a way that it does not touch the water and that it will not fall into the water when the pump starts working. The cable extension must always be well away from the water and dry. Connect the pump to the mains.

MACHINE USAGE

Use this machine only for jobs for which it has been designed. The use of this machine for any other jobs is dangerous and can cause dangers to the users and/or to the machine. Do not rely solely on the security elements of the machine.

CHECKING POINTS PRIOR TO START UP

It is important to check that all parts are well tightened. If you detect any anomaly, stop the machine straight away and check the machine carefully. In case of any water leakages, check the installation carefully. Never carrying on working if the machine is not working correctly.

START UP AND STOPPAGE

START UP AFTER INSTALLATION (PRIMING)

1.  Open the filler cap (8)
2.  Pour water through the hole until the water is full.
3.  Screw in the fill cap.
4. Open the circuit for aspiration and impulsion.
5. Open the circuit to allow the air to flow out and the water to flow in.
6. Connect the pump to the mains and put the ON/OFF switch in the position ¨I¨. The pump will start. This lasts several seconds and during that time the noise of the machine will change from loud when aspirating water and air to silent when aspirating only water. After these few seconds, only water should flow out.
   Note: If after some time the pump does not only aspirate water, stop the pump and check that there is sufficient water in the aspiration point. If there is enough water flow, disconnect the machine and check the aspiration tube.

START UP (NOT FIRST START UP)

1. 1. Open the circuit for aspiration and impulsion.

2. Place the security switch in position ¨I¨.

CHECKING POINTS AFTER START UP **

**

Check that, after opening the circuit, when starting the machine the noise is normal, that the machine does not vibrate and that the pressure flow is adequate. It is important to check that all parts are well tightened. If you detect any anomaly, stop the machine straight away and check the machine carefully. In case of any water leakages, check the installation carefully. Never carrying on working if the machine is not working correctly and take to the nearest service dealer if the machine does not function adequately.

PROTECTION AGAINST OVERCHARGING

This machine has a safety switch that will disconnect the machine in case of overload due to excessive work. If you detect that the machine does not start, it may be because the safety switch has been activated. In that case wait 15-20 minutes and the machine will turn on again automatically.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

The removal of the security elements, a poor maintenance or the substitution of spares and accessories by non original ones can all cause severe corporal damages.
Always carry out all the maintenance work with the machine unplugged from the mains. We recommend a visual control every 3 months to check the general state of the machine; look for water leakages, loose parts and check the conexions. This way the machine will have a good working life. If you find any anomaly, take the machine to your nearest service dealer.
