A
Danger by pump failures!
If you no
tice shipping damage while
unpacking, notify your supplier
immediately. Do not operate the
pump!
Be
fore each use check the pump,
especially power cable and plug for
possible damage. Risk of fatal elec-
tric shock!
A damaged pump must be work-
manlike repaired before it can be
used again.
Do not attempt to repair the equip-
ment yourself! Only trained special-
ists are permitted to service or repair
pumps or
pressure vessels.
A
Caution!
To avoid water damage, e.g.
flo
oded rooms, caused by pump mal-
functions or defects:
provide for suitable safety measures
such as the following:
alarm or
collection tank with monitoring.
The manufacturer is not liable for any
da
mage caused by:
improper use of the pump;
overloading of the pump through
co
ntinous operation;
failure to operate and store the
p
ump in a frost-free environment;
unauthorised modification of the
pump (repairs to electrical equip-
ment may only be carried out by
q
ualified electricians!);
use of spare parts which have not
b
een tested and approved by the
manufacturer; or
use of unsuitable installation materi-
als (fittings, connection lines etc.).
Suitable installation materials:
pressure-resistant
(min. 10 bar)
heat-resistant (min. 100°C).
The pump is easily assembled and con-
nected.
If in doubt, contact your specialist sup-
plier or a qualified electrician.
5.1 Installation
The equipment must be placed on a
plane and level surface, suitable of
bearing the weight of the equipment
fully filled with water.
U
m Vibrationen zu vermeiden, sollte
das Gerät auf eine elastische Unter-
lage gestellt werden.
The installation location should be
well vented and protected from
atmospheric exposure.
W
hen operated at garden ponds
and pools the equipment must be
set up safe against flooding and pro-
tected from falling into the water.
An
y additional legal requirements
are to be observed.
5.2 Connecting the Suction
Line
3
Note:
Possibly further accessories may
be required for connection (see "Availa-
ble Accessories").
A
Caution!
The suction line needs to be
insta
lled in such manner that it does
not exert mechanical force or distor-
tion to the pump.
A
Caution!
When pumping contaminated
flu
ids install a suction strainer to pro-
tect the pump from sand and dirt.
3
Note:
A check valve is recommended to
prevent water backflow when the pump
is turned off.
All screw fittings must be sealed
with thread sealing tape; leaks
cause the priming of air, which
reduces or completely prevents the
priming of water.
Th
e suction line should have an
inner diameter of 1" (25 mm) mini-
mum and must be kink, pressure,
and vacuum resistent.
Ke
ep suction line as short as practi-
cal, since with increasing length the
p
ump capacity is reduced.
The suction line should raise towards
the pump to prevent air locks.
A sufficient water supply must be
ensured, the foot valve at the end of
the suction line must be submerged
in water at all times.
5.3 Discharge Port
3
Note:
Possibly further accessories may
be required for connection (see "Availa-
ble Accessories").
A
Caution!
The discharge (or pressure)
lin
e needs to be installed in such
manner that it does not exert mechan-
ical force or distortion to
the pump.
Al
l screw fittings should be sealed
with thread sealing tape to prevent
leakage.
All parts of the pressure line must be
resistant to internal pressure.
All
parts of the pressure line must be
installed in a workmanlike manner.
A
Danger!
Improper installation and use
of
parts not resistant to internal pres-
sure can cause the pressure line to
break during operation. Risk of per-
sonal injury by liquid spurting from
the
line under high pressure!
5.4 Connection to a Pipe
System
A stationary installation (e.g. in an indoor
domestic water system) is also possible.
To reduce vibrations and noises the
pump should be connected to the
pipe system with flexible tubing.
5.5 Connection to AC Power
B
Danger! Risk of electric shock!
Do not operate the pump in wet
en
vironment and only under the fol-
lowing conditions:
Connect only to an earthed outlet
that is properly installed, earthed
and tested.
Main
s voltage and fuse protection
must correspond with the
requirement stated in the "Tech-
nical Specications".
When operated at pools, garden
ponds and similar locations, the
pump must be protected by a
residual current operated device
(RCD, 30 mA) (DIN VDE 0100 -702,
-73
8 or equivalent applicable
local regulations).
We recommend the use of RCD's
a
s a general precaution for per-
sonal protection.
Wh
en operated outdoors the elec-
trical connections must be
s
plash-proof; they must not be
placed in water.
U
se only extension cables of suf-
ficient lead cross section (see
“T
echnical Specifications”).
Unroll cable reels fully.
5.6 Filling the pump and
priming
A
Caution!
After installation, loss of water
or
priming of air the pump needs to
be filled with water. Starting the pump
without water causes damage!
3
Note:
The suction line does not need to
be filled, the pump is self-priming. How-
ever, depending on length and diameter
of the
suction line it may take some time
until pressure has built up.
1. Remove the water filler plug, com-
plete with gasket.
2. Slowly pour in clear water, until the
pump is
filled.
5. Prior to Operation
