Power Connection - Truper BOAP-1/2 Manual De Instrucciones

The pippes should always be installed using supports (Fig. C) to prevent the transmission of
voltage to the pump body. Be careful not to damage any part as a result of over-tightening the pipes
when setting them.

POWER CONNECTION

The installer is responsible to set up the power connections into the power source in
compliance with the corresponding mandatory regulations:
- The international rules require that xed installations shall incorporate a device assuring the
omnipolar disconnection from the power source.
- Double-check the speci cations in the nameplate regarding the pump capacity and the capacity
values in the line are the same. (Fig. D).
- Connect the pump to a physical grounding system. Then connect the phases according to the
diagram in the terminals block or in the nameplate.
- Our monophasic motors are protected against overload by using a thermal device
(Overcurrent cut) installed in the motor winding.
CAUTION
The power cables are coded with the following colors:

MAINTENANCE
Our pumps do not require maintenance only if the following precautions are observed. When
there is risk of freezing, drain the pump removing the drain cap set in the lower side of the
pump body. Make sure the pump is primed when starting it back. Verify regularly that the foot
valve is clean. If the pump is to be inactive for long periods of time (for example, during winter)
(Fig. F) is advisable to drain it completely, rinse it with clear water and store in a dry place. If
the shaft does not rotate freely, release it with a screwdriver inserting it in the special slot set
in the rear of the pump. (Fig. G). If this does not solve the problem, remove the pump body
loosening the corresponding mounting screws and clean perfectly to remove any debris setting.
Never service the pump when is not previously disconnected from the power source.
GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS
Make sure the extension cord is in good shape. When using an
extension cord, verify the gauge is enough for the power that your
product needs. A lower gauge cord will cause voltage drop in the
line, resulting in power loss and overheating.
The following table shows the right size to use depending on the
cord´s length and the ampere capability shown in the tool's
nameplate. If in doubt, use the next higher gauge. The lower the
gauge, the heavier the cord will be.
Make sure that your extension cord is properly grounded and in
good shape.
(1) It is safe to use only if the extensions themselves have an artifact for over current protection.
(2) One of the conductors should be grounded. All conductors are the same gauge including the one that is grounded.

PRIMING
Fill the pump completely with clean water before starting it. Remove the threaded cap set in the upper
side of the pump body and ll with water up to the ori ce level. (Fig. E). Screw on the cap and start the
pump. This operation shall be made before starting the pump for the rst time; when it has not been used
for long periods of time or when there is air in the system.
Never operate the pump when empty.
WARNING
If it happens accidentally turn off the pump, wait it
cools down and prime it using clear water.
