The pressure-pipe must show the pump's nominal width (R 1½, possibility for
expansion).
The suction flange and pipe must be absolutely tight. Otherwise no suction mode.
5.2 Electrical connection
Electrical connection should be made by a qualified electrician. Current
national regulations must be observed (e.g. VDE regulations in Germany).
Check that the mains current and voltage comply with the data on the rating plate
Mains fuse: 16 A, time-lag
Pump/installation must be earthed in compliance with regulations
In accordance with EN 60335, submersible driven-motor pumps with less than 10 m
