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
AFTER THE CONNECTION WAS MADE, CARE-
FULLY VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE AT THE WIRES
THAT WILL BE CONNECTED TO YOUR MOTOR
PUMP IS THE VOLTAGE NEEDED FOR OPERA-
TION. IF VOLTAGE IS DIFFERENT, CORRECT IT.
AFTER THE CONNECTIONS ARE COMPLETED
AND BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE POWER
LINE, MAKE SURE THAT THIS SWITCH IS OPEN
AND ALL THE CABLES AND UNIONS ARE DULY
ISOLATED AND PROTECTED.
ALWAYS DO THE CONNECTIONS WITHOUT
POWER IN THE LINE.
BEFORE STARTING YOUR MOTOR
Drain (fill up with wa-
ter) your pump and
verify that there are
no air entrance or
leaks in the pipes or
in the foot valve.
Wait some minutes
and make sure that
the
level
has
not
dropped.
NEVER OPERATE THE PUMP WHEN IT IS EMP-
TY. IF THIS HAPPENS ACCIDENTALLY TURN THE
PUMP OFF, WAIT FOR IT TO COOL AND THEN
TURN IT ON USING CLEAN WATER.
