5. START UP INSTRUCTIONS
5.1. LIST OF MATERIALS
This machine includes the following elements that you
will find inside the box:
• Pressure group
• Instruction manual.
Remove all elements from the box and check that
all are included.
Remove carefully all the elements from the box and
make sure that all listed parts are included. Due to
the quality controls done at the factory it is highly
improbable that your machine has any faulty part
or that any elements are missing. If you find any
damaged part or there are any elements missing,
do not use the machine until the problem has been
solved or you have been given the missing parts.
Usage of the machine with defective or missing parts
is dangerous and could result in personal injuries.
5.2. MOUNTING AND INSTALATION
The pump must be installed in a flat surface, cold,
dry and at a safe distance from the water that will be
pumped to guarantee that the pump will in no case be
reached by water.
5.2.1. FIXING THE MACHINE FOR FIXED INSTALLATION
Hold the pump to the ground using some screws that
hold the legs of the pump. Should you not be able
to screw to the ground, then use a mounting plaque
(wood or metal) that ensures the stability of the pump.
Take into account that you will need space to access
the filling cap abd to prime the pump and that to
empty the pump you will need space to access the
emptying cap, space to place a recipient to allow the
water to fall into when emptying the pump and finally
space for connecting all the tubes and cables. Take
into account these factors when installing the pump.
Install the pump above the maximum level of water
aspiration. If this is not possible, install a closing valve
between the pump and the aspiration tube that allows
you to close the water when doing maintenance work
or when uninstalling the pump.
5.2.2. ASPIRATION CONNECTION
For a good aspiration of water, the connection
must be totally waterproof.
Connect the aspiration tube using a 1¨ male connector
to the aspiration of the pump.
If you use a hose instead of a tube for aspiration
make sure that the hose is adequate and depression
resistant.
If you use a traditional hose and due to the water
depression, the walls of the hose will stick together
and will not allow water to flow.
Recommendations:
- We recommend you install an anti return valve in
the aspiration tube to avoid water returning back to
the pump when the pump is not working.
- We recommend that you do not use hoses or tubes
wider than 1´ in diameter. Using tubes of more than
1¨ could lower the performance of the machine.
- If the installation is fixed, we recommend using a
flexible metallic hose to avoid transmitting noise
and vibrations to the installation.
