Safety Instructions

Improper Use of Fittings Hazard

• Do not operate the pump with improperly connected, sized, worn or loose fittings, pipes or hoses. Operating the pump under these conditions could result in personal injury and property damage.
• Ensure all fittings, pipes and hoses are properly rated for the maximum pressure rating and flow of the pump.
• Check all fittings and pipes for cracks or damaged threads.
• Check all hoses for cuts, wear, leaks, kinks or collapse before each use.
• Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
• Use PTFE thread tape or pipe thread sealant (sparingly) to reconnect plumbing.
• Do not wrap tape beyond the last thread, this will prevent tape from becoming lodged in the pump or accessories.
• Apply proper sealants to assure secure fit or easy dis-assembly when servicing.

Frozen Liquid Hazard

• Do not operate the pump with frozen liquid. Operating the pump under this condition could over pressurize and jettison the manifold from the crankcase causing personal injury and property damage.
• Store pump or pumping system in an environmentally controlled room protected from freezing temperatures.

Cleaning Pump Hazard

• Do not use solvents that are flammable and toxic to clean or degrease equipment. Use of these solvents could result in personal injury and property damage.
• Follow safety instructions as found in MSDS or on packaging of each liquid.
• Clean equipment in a well ventilated area.
• Disposal of solvents to be in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.

Operating Beyond Specifications Hazard

• Do not operate the pump outside the specifications of individual pump data sheet or service manual. Operating the pump under these conditions could result in personal injury and property damage.
• Do not operate the pump faster than the maximum recommended RPM.
• Do not operate the pump at pressures higher than the maximum recommended pressure.
• Do not operate the pump at temperatures higher than the maximum recommended temperatures.
• Do not use accessories that are not compatible or rated for the pump.

Height Hazard

• Do not store or fit this pump at a height higher than 90cm from level (hip height).  Always ensure that thefooting of the pump is properly secured. Pump may fall and cause injury if not secured properly from a high height.
• Use 6mm bolts and at least 12mm washers when mounting the base.
• Long holes at feet are for minor adjustments.
• Do not use corroded bolts. If bolts are degrading, replace them.

Set-Up

Attach the Handle

Attach the Pump Control to the Pump

Separate brass coupling. Apply Teflon tape onto threads and screw onto pump control and pump separately. Then, using the bigger nut, screw together (in direction of arrow) the pump and pump control, keeping them stationary.

Operation

Conditions

• These pumps must be installed in a dry, well-ventilated place with an ambient temperature of no more than 40°C.
• Fix the pump in place on a solid, flat surface using suitable bolts to avoid vibration.
• The pump must be installed in a horizontal position to ensure that the bearings operate correctly.
• The diameter of the intake pipe must not be smaller than that of the intake mouth.
• If the intake height exceed 4 meters, use a pipe with a larger diameter.
• The diameter of the delivery pipe must be chosen to suit the flow rate and pressure required at the take-off points.
• The intake pipe must be slightly angled up towards the intake mouth to avoid the formation of air locks.
• Make sure that the intake pipe is completely airtight and immersed in the water by at least half a meter to avoid the formation of vortexes.
• Always fit a foot valve at the end of the intake pipe.
• It is advisable to fit a non-return valve between the delivery mouth and flow rate adjustment gate valve to avoid dangerous water hammering in the event of the pump suddenly stopping. This measure is compulsory if the delivery water column is over 20 meters.
• The pipe must always be fitted using the related brackets to avoid transmitting stress to the pump body.
• Take care not to damage any part by overtightening the pipes when fitting them.

Self-Priming

Self-priming does not mean the pump will automatically draw water from a water source. Whenever a non-selfpriming pumps stop running the water drains. This means that when the pumps needs to be run again, it needs priming.

Self-priming pumps will need an initial prime, however once it stops running, it retains the water. When it needs running again it does not need priming again because the water has not drained. This is what makes the pump self- priming.

To initially prime this pump, remove priming bolt and fill with clean water. Once completely filled, screw priming bolt back on.

If the pump has not been used for a long period of time or air has made its way into the system, there is a possibility it will need priming again. Always check your plumbing and installing as it may appear the pump is faulty when it could be something else.

Set-Up Solutions

This pump has a maximum suction lift of roughly 4m. Do not install this pump any higher than 4m above the water source.

Maintenance

• Our pumps do not require any maintenance provided one takes the following precautions:
• When there is a risk of freezing, empty the pump through the drain plug on the bottom of the pump body, making sure you prime it when subsequently starting it again.
• Check that the foot valve is clean at regular intervals.
• If the pump is to remain unused for a long period of time (e.g. in the winter), it is advisable to empty it completely, rinse it with clean water and store it in a dry place.
• If the shaft does not turn freely, release it with a screwdriver by inserting it in the special slot. If this is not sufficient to solve the problem, remove the pump body, undoing the relevant mounting bolts, and clean it thoroughly to remove any encrustations.

ATTENTION: If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a similarly qualified technician in order to avoid a potential safety hazard.

Never carry out any work on the pump without having first disconnected it from the mains supply
