Moreover, all the models in the BE-M 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 / NOVAX 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 50, VINO 20 range, carry another guarantee, namely the IMQ safety certificate, issued by the ITALIAN INSTITUTE OF QUALITY
CERTIFICATES (www.imq.it).
All models are tested individually, in order to guarantee they are safe for use. Each model is wrapped and sold with a printed test report.

USE
The pump has been designed and manufactured for both domestic and industrial use. However, it may still present a source of danger to people.
Never allow unsupervised CHILDREN, ELDERLY OR DISABLED PERSONS OR ANIMALS near pumps while in operation.
Pumps are unsuitable for pouring/transferring liquids in corrosive or explosive (dust, steam or gases) environments.
Pumps used in particularly hot and humid climate conditions like, for example, tropical countries, must be positioned in a cool, dry area (please refer to the technical data for further information).
The pump will not cause disturbance to radio or television transmissions during operation. The motor of the pump has been designed for continuous operation.
START-UP EQUIPMENT
All electrical connections have been assembled in a wiring box set on the top of the pump. Said box is built of sturdy composite polymer, and thus resistant to fairly strong impact.
The start button or switch makes it easy for the user to choose which direction the motor will rotate in. Users can, therefore, connect the suction and delivery tubes on the hose adapter of the pump indifferently, and operate the
electric motor in the direction required. They do this as follows:
(Look at the start button set on the back of the wiring box in order to better understand the descriptions below).
POS. "O" : rest position - pump disconnected: the pump does not operate nor is it live (see ELECTRICAL CONNECTION)
POS " > " : pump connected: clockwise rotation of the pump, the liquid is drafted and pumped as shown in the Figure.
POS " < " : pump connected: anticlockwise rotation of the pump, the liquid is drafted and pumped as shown in the Figure.
Manual operation of the switch is not dangerous, even in those situations where rotation inversion occurs whilst the motor is running (except for models BE-M 50 / BE-T50, NOVAX 50M /
NOVAX 50T).
All the electrical components used to manufacture the pump carry international safety certificates which guarantee both their quality and durability.
Important: do not operate the switch if your hands are wet or very sweaty. You could experience an electric shock.
The pump must only be used for surface pouring . Do not use the pump for any kind of pouring where it must be immersed either partially or totally in the liquid being processed.
If the pump should stop suddenly during operation, pull the plug out of the socket before trying to understand the reason for this fault.
CHOICE OF POWER SUPPLY CABLE
The standard supply of single-phase ac pumps includes a power supply cable complete with Schuko plug with drip protection. The cable carries the H05 RN-F certificate.
Both the cable and the plug carry international <HAR> and IMQ safety certificates which guarantee the quality, durability and electrical safety of these components.
The standard supply of three-phase AC pumps includes a H05 RN-F quadrupole supply cable.
This cable carries international <HAR> and IMQ safety certificates which guarantee the quality, durability and electrical safety of this component.
WHY HAS ROVER POMPE CHOSEN A SCHUKO PLUG WITH DRIP PROTECTION? Today, this kind of plug offers the highest level of safety against electric shocks for electrical appliances.
(N) = Neutral
Moreover, it provides an important technical function. If you look at the plug as shown in the Figure, you will notice that there is only one direction in which to plug it into the wall socket. This ensures
that the mains power supply is always and indeed only connected to the electric phase of the electric pump motor. If the electric pump overload cutout triggers, therefore, users can be certain it will cut
off the voltage and not the neutral.
(P) = Phase
WARNING: this applies if the domestic electrical installation has been produced by professional. If in doubt, consult a specialised technician.
WARNING: cutting a plug to connect another one up to it is both incorrect and dangerous. Only use the adapters currently available on the market which carry safety certificates such as the IMQ.
Moreover, by cutting a standard plug you will forfeit the manufacturer's official guarantee.
If necessary, use an extension cord to power the pump. We recommend you use H05 RN-F marked cables, with a section of at least 1.5 mm.
WARNING: "Homemade" extension cords are potentially dangerous if made by unskilled persons with little or no experience with electric cables. Therefore, it is always preferable to purchase preassembled extension cords
which carry an IMQ or equivalent safety certificate.
N.B.: These basic, general instructions have been provided because ROVER POMPE pumps are exported to a number of countries and continents. It is, therefore, imperative that the end user inquires about the specific local
legislation regarding electrical appliances and considers the relative clauses in his/her own personal insurance policy for accidents.
