PLACEMENT
CAUTION: The pump must always be located at least 3.5 [m] from the edge of the basin from which water is drawn.
If the pump is placed outside the pool it is advisable to put a simple cover to protect it from rain. This protection will make
the pump last longer.
Make sure the aeration grating vents are always free so that correct pump ventilation is guaranteed.
Make sure the pump is positioned in a site in which the noise it generates during normal operations does not cause
disturbance.
The pump must run in a horizontal position. Make sure its position is not altered once it is correctly placed.
Do not install the pump more than 3 [m] above the water level.
The self-triggering capacity can be considerably reduced by obstacles caused by pipes (for example pipes which are too
long or insufficiently sized).
Check that the pipes have no leaks otherwise the pump will not start completely.
The transparent lid of the pre-filter (5), when present, must be tightly closed, the hosetails (1) completely screwed and the
inlet pipes must be as short as possible; this will reduce the time that is needed to start which depends on the quantity of
air found inside the inlet pipe. If the pipe is too long, it may take a great deal of time start.
The inlet piping should be placed below the water level.
Carefully follow the indications reported in "START UP" for the triggering procedure.
If the piping is installed above the water level it is advisable to use a gate valve at the inlet so that the piping does not
empty while the pump is off. This will help to contain the triggering time when the pump is started up again (for example
after cleaning the frame).
The plug must always be easily reachable.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The pump is outfitted with a 5 [m] waterproof cable and a Shuko three-pole plug. Do not alter this configuration without
authorization from a specialized technician.
Use a proper reduction unit to connect the plug to the electrical supply if necessary.
In case of breakage contact qualified personnel for replacement: never replace the cable yourselves!
START UP
Screw the two hosetails supplied (1) to the end, in correspondence to the IN and OUT pipe fittings of the pump. If this
operation should be difficult use a monkey wrench.
Connect the inlet pipe to the IN union (fig. 2) and the outlet pipe to the OUT union (Fig. 3). Fasten the pipes with
STAINLESS clamps.
In case of leaks at the level of the connection between pipe and pump wrap some Teflon around the hose holder (1).
Screw the transparent lid of the pre-filter tightly (5, when present) and make sure the OR gasket (3) is intact and correctly
positioned in its special housing.
To prime correctly the pump follow the instructions on Fig.1
Slowly fill the pump with clean water in the inlet pipe, making sure that the outlet pipe also fills up (Fig.1).
Activate the pump by connecting it to the electric network only when the whole circuit is full of water. The residual air
found in the circuit will be emptied from the pump and it will begin to run.
ATTENTION: the pump must never run when empty.
ATTENTION: do not use the pump without its pre-filter basket (4), when present, otherwise the pump may jam or be
irreparably damaged.
ATTENTION: when using any type of stop valve make sure the line is completely open as the pump must never run with
valves closed.
