Directions for use
− Electrical supply: Single-phase 230VAC, 50Hz.
− The pump must be installed in a place where there is easy access to the terminal box.
− The pumps must only be used for swimming pools and garden pools. Maximum pressure, Hmax, is given on the pump nameplate.
− The pump has to be mounted on a fixed and firm base by means of bolts.
− Class I appliances must be permanently connected to fixed wiring.
− If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a
hazard.
− The square dimension of the cable must not be reduced. The cables must be of a minimum type H07RN-F fully connected to earth.
− Ensure that the cable gland is fully tightened.
− The pump must be protected by a fuse.
− A suitable ground fault circuit interrupter with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA and with at least a 3-mm break distance
on each terminal must be installed in order to separate the pump from the mains.
− Connect external earth screw on the motor to external equipotential.
− If the pump is installed in a protected region surrounding it, the latter must be constructed in accordance with VDE0100 clause 49D.
Attention!!
− The installation must be according to the normal power indicated on the label.
− The amperage must not at any time exceed the value indicated on the label.
− Allowable tolerance on the voltage is +/- 6%.
− It is recommended that you consult a state-registered electrician.
− Place the pump in a dry area with good ventilation.
− The ambient temperature must not exceed 40°C.
− The pumps are only suitable for counter-clockwise rotation when viewing from the pump end.
− Before disconnecting electrical connections, shut off electricity at its source. Never work on the pump without making certain that the power is
OFF.
− Please note: P1 = Power Input & P2 = Output Power. Both given in kW (kilo Watt) on the pump label.
Instructions
− Locate the pump as close as possible to the pool. Provide the necessary space around and below the pump for further inspection and
servicing of the unit.
− The pump suction line should not be smaller than the pressure line. All piping must be airtight.
− The threads on the pump must be sealed with Teflon Tape or Silicone when the pump fittings are screwed on. Tighten the pump fittings only
as much as is required to ensure a tight connection. Excessive torque is un-necessary and may cause damage to the pump.
− The weight of the piping should be supported independently and not carried by the pump. The pump motor must be wired for the proper
voltage and rotation in accordance with the wiring diagram. Voltage, phases, ampere draw, and cycles are given on the pump nameplate.
Priming
− Fill the pump tank with water before starting. This may be done through the strainer cover. The AG pumps prime themselves providing the
pump tank is filled with water. Should you lose this liquid from the tank accidentally or by draining purposely, it will be necessary to refill it
before starting.
− High suction lifts, or long suction lines, require additional time and reduce the performance of the pump. Should you have difficulty, refer to
the "Troubleshooting Guide".
− The water being pumped cools and lubricates the seal. Running the pump dry will damage the seal. Always keep liquid in the pump tank. No
further lubrication of the pump end is necessary.
− After the pump tank has been filled with water, and the motor started, allow a few moments for the pump to start delivering water. Be sure that
all suctions and discharge valves are open when pump is running. Operating the pump with a closed valve in the system can cause pump
damage. If flow does not start within ten minutes, stop the motor and determine cause (see "Troubleshooting Guide").
Maintenance
− The strainer built into the pump tank should be inspected and cleaned at regular intervals. These strainers are easy to clean. Remove the
strainer cover to expose the strainer basket. Remove the basket and clean. Inspect the cover gasket; if damaged, replace. Replace the
strainer basket and re-install the cover. Hand tighten only.
− If your pool is deactivated until next season, care must be taken to protect the pump part from damage. Drain completely by removing the
drain plug provided at bottom of pump tank. Do not replace the plug, but store it in the strainer basket for the winter. An alternative is to
remove the pump and store it indoors in a warm dry location.
− It is also possible to leave the pump body and piping intact and only remove and store the motor and impeller assembly. In this case remove
the motor to tank screws. Protect the remaining pump parts that are attached to the system, from a build-up of liquid from rain and snow.
−
When activating the pump again, reverse the above procedure. Replace the gasket between the tank and seal plate if damaged. Install drain
plug. Check the pump shaft for free movement. Prime the pump as above and check the rotation of pump shaft.
