your system and the correct diameter of the
pipes.
- If your motor pump is going to be set at a fixed
place, attach it firmly to the floor (use clamps,
expansive raw plugs, etc.)
always sure that it will not be moving for the
vibration.
The pump should be installed in a dry, properly
ventilated location at an ambient temperature
not to exceed 40 ° C (104 ° F)
NEVER ALLOW THAT YOUR MOTOR GETS
WET, USE PROTECTION COVER IF OUTDOORS.
AVOID COVERING THE MOTOR OF YOUR
MOTOR PUMP WITH PLASTIC THAT PREVENT
THE CIRCULATION OF AIR THROUGH IT SO THAT
IT COOLS DOWN. PLACE YOUR MOTOR PUMP
AT A VENTILATED PLACE.

PUMPING CONNECTIONS
- It is very convenient to use new pipes, prefer-
ably galvanized, along with some product to
seal connections (SURTEK
Cement, Pola, etc.). Use the fewer bends as pos-
sible.
- Follow carefully the manufacturer's instruc-
tions when installing plastic connections and
pipes.
IMPORTANT: Always use a piping with a di-
ameter equal to or greater than the suction hole
of the pump, NEVER LESS.
For discharging, ALWAYS use piping with the
same diameter to the discharge hole of the
pump.
· Upon connecting the first pipe or nipple be
careful not to put it in too deep since it could
damage the pump (tighten by hand and with
tool 1 ½ more turns.
· At the bottom of the suction pipe, perfectly
install a metallic foot valve of a diameter wider
than the suction pipe. This is not necessary for
self-priming pumps.
THE GREAT MAJORITY OF FURTHER PROB-
LEMS ARE DUE TO DEFECTIVE CONNECTIONS OR
BADLY SEALING THE PIPES. BE CAREFUL WHEN
MAKING THEM.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
MAKE ALWAYS SURE TO DO ALL THE CON-
NECTIONS WITH POWER OFF IN THE LINE(S). A
WRONG CONNECTION TO THE SYSTEM OR TO
GROUND MAY CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
- Verify the plaque of your motor, the voltage
that must be used, how much current it con-
sumes and how to make the appropriate con-
nections. Before connecting, verify the voltage
of the power line.
- Install a switch (preferably thermomagnetic or
fuse) with a capacity according to the current
needs of your motor (amperage). As for three-
phase motors, always use a starter and verify the
direction of the rotation, and have overcharge
protection.
- Properly select the cable to be used, depending
on the distance where the power outlet is lo-
cated and the amperage (current consumption
of your motor).
- Connect the pump to a physical ground circuit.
- The power cables are coded with the follow-
ing colors:
Green and Yellow: Earth
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Phase
