4. START-UP INSTRUCTIONS

PRIOR TO START-UP

- Carry out the following operations before starting the pump:
1. Remove the pre-filter cap by unscrewing the nut holding it in place.
2. Fill the pump with water through the pre-filter until it rises up through the suction pipe.
3. Should the basket be removed during these operations, do not forget to replace it to prevent large particles from
entering the pump that could block it.
4. Check that the mains voltage and frequency correspond with those indicated on the pump characteristics plate.
- Fit the pre-filter cap and screw on tight, not forgetting to fit the seal in its housing.
- The pumps must not be run without the pre-filter having first been filled with water. Where this is not the case, the
mechanical gasket may be damaged, leading to a loss of water.
START-UP
- Open all the valves and connect the motor.
- Activate the self-priming and wait a reasonable time for this to be completed.
5. MAINTENANCE
- Clean the pre-filter basket regularly to avoid drops in pressure. To prevent the basket from breaking, do not hit it
during the cleaning process.
- Empty the pump if it is to remain at a standstill for a certain length of time, especially in cold countries where there
is a risk of freezing.
- Every time the pre-filter is opened, clean the seal and its seating of any impurities to ensure airtightness when the
cap is closed.
- Pump components that, due to their normal use, suffer wear and/or tear must be regularly replaced to ensure good
pump performance. The following table shows the perishables and/or consumables used in the pump and their
estimated working life.
The estimated working life of the parts above has been established according to normal product use and installation
conditions.
Follow the instructions in the installation manual to maintain the working life of the pump.
