Use a suction pump (2) with a diameter equivalent to that of the suction mouth of the electropump (1).
If the height (HA) is over 4 meters use a tube with a larger diameter. The suction line should be perfectly airtight.
No elbows and/or slopes should be present to prevent the formation of air locks that could affect the electropump
efficiency. A foot valve (3) with filter (4) should be fitted at about half a metre below the fluid that has to be pumped (HI)
on one end of the line. Load losses can be reduced using delivery piping with a diameter equivalent or greater than the
electropump mouth (5). It is advisable to install a check valve (6) directly on the delivery line to prevent the electropump
being damaged by "water hammer". A cut-off valve (7) should also be installed downstream from the check valve,
to facilitate maintenance operations. Piping should be fitted so that vibrations, when existing, tension and weight do
not affect the pump. Piping should be routed along the shortest and straighter track, avoiding an excessive number of
bends. Verify that the motor is properly ventilated. For permanent installations, it is advisable to fix the electropump
to the supporting base, connect the system with a section of non flexible pipe and insert a layer of rubber (or another
anti-vibration material) between the supporting base and the pump, in order to reduce vibrations.
The place of installation must be steady and dry to ensure proper and uninterrupted operation of the booster set
ATTENTION!!!
Connection, suction and delivery pipes should be connected with the utmost care. Make sure that all connections
fixed by means of screws are sealed. Avoid applying excessive stress to tighten the screws of connections or of other
components. Use a Teflon tape to completely seal all joints.
For continued use near garden ponds or the like, the system must be secured to a steady support, to prevent dropping,
and protected against flooding.

Overload protection
GARDEN PUMPS FLOTEC have a built-in thermal protection switch. The pump stops if an overload condition occurs.
The motor restarts automatically after it has cooled down (see point 3 of the Troubleshooting section for information
on causes and corrective actions).
Electrical extension cables must have a minimum section of H07 RN-F. The plug and connections should be protected
by water splashes. Contact a specialised electrician.

Instructions for a safe pump start
Avoid exposing the pump to humidity. Protect the pump from rain, making sure that there are no leaking fittings over
the pump. Avoid using the pump in wet or damp environments.
To prevent possible injuries to people, avoid inserting hands into the mouth of the pump if
this is connected to the mains.
This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years or over and by persons with limited
physical, sensory or intellectual capabilities, or with limited experience and knowledge,
provided that they are supervised or have been instructed in the safe use of the appliance
and are aware of the dangers involved. Children must not be allowed to play with the
appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children unless
they are supervised
Verify that the voltage and frequency of the electropump shown on the nameplate
correspond to those available on the mains.
Use the electropump for the applications listed on the nameplate.
Do not operate the pump dry, since lack of water could cause it to overheat. In this case,
the water inside the system gets very hot, so there is a risk of scalding. Take off the plug
and let the system cool down.
Do not run the electropump with a completely closed delivery.
The installer must make sure that the electric system is grounded
in accordance with the law in force.
Make sure that the electric system has a high-sensitivity circuit
Δ
breaker =30 mA (DIN VDE 0100T739).
