3.1. Fixing
The pump should be installed on a solid, horizontal
base, can be secured by screws or bolts using the
existing holes in the mount. Ensure that the pump
mount rests squarely on the base before fixing.
3.2. Suction pipe assembly
The suction pipe, if longer than 7 meters, must be
of the same or greater diameter than the pump inlet
and installed in an upward inclination to prevent
trapped air pockets forming.
If the pump is required to perform a suction lift, to
avoid unnecessary losses of head on the discharge
side, the pump should be installed as close as
possible to the water.
The end of the suction pipe must always remain at
least 30 cm below the water level (Fig.3).
3.3. Discharge pipe assembly
It is recommended to use pipes with a diameter
equal or greater than the pump outlet. This will
reduce loss of head caused by friction in longer
pipe runs.
Pipework must be supported and their weight must
not rest on the pump.
If a foot valve has not been installed it is recom-
mended to fit a check valve to prevent accidental
draining down of the system.
3.4. Electrical connection
The electrical installation must have a multi-
pole isolator with minimum 3 mm contact
openings, The protection of the system will
be
based
on
( fn = 30 mA)
The power cable must correspond at least to the
type H05 RN-F (according to 60245 IEC 57) and
having terminals.
The connection and its dimensioning must be per-
formed by a qualified installer according to the
needs of the facility and following the regulations in
force in each country.
Single-phase motor pumps have thermal
protection.
Follow instructions given on fig.1 for correct electri-
cal connection.
3.5. Pre-start checks
Ensure the voltage and frequency of the
supply corresponds to the values indicated
on the electrical data label.
Ensure that the pump shaft is rotating freely.
Fill the pump body with water through the self-
priming plug opening. If a foot valve has been
installed, also fill the suction pipe.
Check all joints and connections for leaks.

THIS PUMP MUST NEVER BE DRY RUN.
4. STARTING
Ensure all valves in the pipework are open.
Connect power supply. There will be a delay before
water appears at the end of the discharge pipe.
Viewings from the fan ensure that the rotation of the
motor is clockwise.
Ensure that the absorbed current is the same or
lower than the maximum shown on the name plate.
Adjust the thermal relay if is necessary.
If the pump fails to operate refer to the possible
faults, causes and solutions list for assistance.
The self-priming time can take several minutes.
5. MAINTENANCE
Under normal conditions these pumps require no
special or planned maintenance.
Clean the pump with a damp cloth without using
harsh products.
If the pump is not to be operated for a long
period it is recommended to remove it from
the installation, drain down and store in a dry,
well ventilated place.
ATTENTION: If the power cable is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
after-sale
service
persons to avoid a hazard.
Our hydropneumatic pressure sets require
specific maintenance.
We do, however, recommend that the vessel air
pressure level be regularly checked.
Pressure switch adjustment is illustrated
in Fig (4).

When the pump is eventually disposed of, please
note that it contains no toxic or polluting material.
All main components are material identified to allow
selective disposal.
