7 START-UP AND PROLONGED STOP
Before starting the electric pump, it is necessary to fill it and the suction pipe with
water (the whole circuit, if the plant is closed). If an electric pump with positive
suction head is installed, perform the following operations manually.
Otherwise, if a negative suction head system is installed or the suction line is
pressurised, it is sufficient to open the valves, vent the air and wait for filling. In
closed circuits, load the system from the highest point and vent air at the same
time. During the first few seconds of operation, the pump will expel further air. If
the circuit is closed, vent it with appropriate valves
Pay attention to leaks. Use appropriate PPE to protect against mechanical
and chemical risks.
Slowly open the valves during venting, avoiding sudden manoeuvres; do
not direct the jet towards people, animals or electrical appliances.
After prolonged downtime, check the pump for proper priming before starting it,
and vent the pipes, if necessary.
If a long period of inactivity is foreseen and/or the machine needs to be emptied
of liquid, disconnect it from the pipes and tilt it to let the liquid out.
The pump is not protected against freezing. According to the instructions in the
manual, it must be removed and emptied of water when there is a risk of freezing.
8 MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT
The electric pump does not require special maintenance.
Have the electric pump repaired only by personnel authorised by the manufacturer
so as to keep your warranty valid and not to impair the safety of the appliance.
Use only original spare parts or parts approved by the manufacturer. Always use
the required PPE (refer to the relevant section).
Before starting any work on the electric pump, make sure it has been
disconnected from the power supply and cannot be accidentally
reconnected.
If the power cord has a plug, disconnect the plug from the socket and
position it so that it is always in view. If it does not have a plug, act on the
cut-out switch of the fixed installation and fit a device against unexpected
reset.
For single-phase models, make sure the capacitor is discharged before
working on the pump.
Caution! In the event of an overload shutdown, appliances equipped with
automatic reset circuit breaker switches will automatically restart when
the temperature drops below the danger level
It is advisable to check the condition of cables (especially at the cable glands)
every month and clean the filters and/or suction grille
If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the Manufacturer,
their service centre or qualified personnel.
8.1 Spare parts
Use original spare parts or parts approved by the manufacturer, in order to avoid
any risks to the service personnel's and users' health. Contact the supplier and/or
check the spare parts tables (see technical catalogue) for information.
9 EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
9.1 Fire
• The only machine part exposed to a fire hazard is the motor and does not
involve any of its external parts.
• In the event of a fire, use extinguishers approved for electrical devices
9.2 Liquid spills
• The pumped liquid may escape from the machine as a result of installation,
start-up, maintenance or disposal, unforeseen breakages or excessive wear of
sealing devices.
• If spills can be dangerous or harmful to human, animal or environmental
health, install a waterproof collecting basin around the machine.
9.3. Oil spills
• In case of breakage, the electric pump can release up to 50 cl of oil (non-toxic).
Occasional ingestion of oil is not dangerous for human health. The risk of an oil
leak should be limited as much as possible.
10 TROUBLESHOOTING
For the solution of problems related to the electric pump operation, follow the
instructions in the table below. If you do not have the necessary knowledge and
12
skills, contact qualified personnel. Always use PPE (see relevant section) and
appropriate tools. If the problem cannot be solved by following the instructions in
the table, contact a professional, authorised service centre.
11 DISPOSAL
The devices marked with this symbol may not be disposed
of in domestic waste but disposed of in appropriate local
collection centres for Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE), or delivered to the distributor who is
required to collect them.
Domestic WEEE (single-phase electric pumps with <3 kW
power) must be handed in to private or local collection
centres, retailers or repairers, at no cost.
Industrial WEEE (all products not classified as domestic)
must be delivered to specific collection centres or retailers
or repairers.
The product is not potentially dangerous for human health and the environment
as it does not contain any harmful substances pursuant to Directive 2011/65/
EU (RoHS), but if released into the environment it will adversely impact the
ecosystem.
The illegal or improper disposal of the product involves severe criminal and/or
administrative
