IMQ MARK
The IMQ mark is voluntary. It is issued by an independent body and, as such, is a guarantee for the consumer. It is recognised in all industrialised countries, and attached to the product.
The IMQ mark is preventive. It is issued for those products which really conform to the technical standards in force only, before they are placed on the market for sale. Production and the market itself are then both checked. It
safeguards manufacturers and retailers who, as far as liability for the product is concerned, are given a way of maintaining their commitment to offering customers safe products, and are thus exempt from liability.
The IMQ mark follows a precise market logic, which requires the authoritative acknowledgement of a product which has been produced in conformity with the safety standards currently in force.
It is a "voluntary" mark, and companies are free to choose whether they want to apply for it, or not. There is no law which states that manufacturers must do so.
Marked products respond to international harmonised standards or national standards, wherever this harmonisation does not exist.
Marked products are kept under control by the Certification Body. In fact, being awarded the mark is not enough and companies must constantly maintain the same standards of quality, and guarantee the same levels of safety as
those used for the very first production.
FALSE MARKS
Any wholesalers, installers and consumers who are unable to ascertain whether the marks on products are false or not can check this on the IMQ list of companies which have been awarded the mark, simply by accessing:

GUIDE TO THE IMQ MARKS ROVER POMPE PRODUCTS CARRY
IMQ MARK: used on equipment and components, and certifies that electrical products conform to the standards provided for by the CEI and EN Standards.
< HAR > MARK: certifies that cables conform to the harmonised European standards.
ROVER POMPE owes its reputation as a company which manufactures long-lasting-reliable pumps to a number of different factors. These include the continuous research the
company carries out in order to improve the quality of the materials its utilises, and the design and production it uses. Said criteria have earned ROVER POMPE both international
acknowledgement, and the trust of customers in a number of different countries. This is why the ROVER POMPE will continue its quest to find those materials which are able to
successfully face the most demanding requirements and, as always, guarantee the long-lasting reliability of ROVER POMPE products.
WARNING: remove the plug from the socket before beginning any work on the pump. Work which involves repairing electrical parts must be carried out by qualified staff. Do not insert tools or your fingers into the hose
adapters of the pump, nor between the fins of the cooling fan as this may cause serious injury.
FINDING AND SOLVING FAULTS
The pumps do not require any special maintenance. Nevertheless, during normal use, faults requiring maintenance may occur, the most frequent of which are listed below:
FAULT
The motor does not start
The motor runs without pumping
Insufficient capacity
Motor protection triggering
PROBABLE CAUSE
Power failure
Blocked Impeller
Capacitor is worn-out
Air is being sucked in
Incorrect rotation direction
Aspiration height is excessive
Bottom valve is clogged up
The valve or suction pipe is blocked
Impeller is clogged up
The motor overheats
Impeller clogging
Fault in the electrical motor

SOLUTION
Plug the socket in correctly
Check the safety devices of the electric system
Remove the cover of the pump and clean the impeller
Replace the capacitor
Check the clamps are tight enough. The suction pipe must be completely immersed in the liquid.
Use the switch to reset the correct rotation direction.
Move the pump closer to the static level of the liquid.
Clean or replace the valve.
Clean or replace the valve or filter, and the suction pipe too, if necessary.
Remove the cover of the pump and clean the impeller
Check the ventilation system is functioning correctly
The voltage is greater than the one specified on the label
Insufficient ventilation
Remove the cover of the pump and unclog the impeller.
