Master Pumps MPXI1102 Traducción De Las Instrucciones Originales página 19

OPERATION
The pumps are not self-priming pumps. This means
that the suction hose should first of all be fitted with:
Non-return valve with filter; this ensures that, after
disconnecting the pump, the hose and the pump do
not run dry. This part of the hose is suspended in
the water to be pumped away.
Before fastening the hose to the pump, it is best to
fill it with water first.
Then you should fill the pump housing with water
through the build-in filter; then re-seal it.
If the pump housing and the hose have both now
been filled with water, you can switch on the pump
using the on/off switch. The pump now immediately
begins to pump water (in the case of the auto
version, the pressure tank is first filled and it takes a
few seconds before water comes out of the
connected hose).
If the pump is subsequently switched off again,
water remains in the pump housing and the hose
which means that when the pump is next switched
on it will pump water immediately.
If no non-return valve is fitted or if the seal between
the valve and the hose is not working properly (hose
clip!) the whole unit may run dry again and must be
re-filled to get the pump to work properly.
Pressure hose
The pressure hose is used for conveying the water
from the pump to the water consumption point (e.g.
tap, etc.). In order to minimize the friction loss
caused by the water pressure, we recommend that
you use a pressure hose with a minimum diameter
of 20mm (3/4").
When the garden pump is working, the water
outlet (e.g. tap or water sprinkling outlet) must be
open so as to discharge the air from the hose. If the
water outlet is closed, the pump may be damaged
due to overheating of the pump after working for
more than 5 minutes.
Freezing of the pump or placing it in a frosty
space in the winter must be avoided.
Sand and stones in the water taken in can rapidly
wear the pump and reduce its effective capacity. It
is therefore necessary to install a filter.
This water pump is not suitable for long-term
operation, e.g. in industrial or mining enterprises or
for a water recycling system.
Safety requirements
The power supply must comply with the
specifications displayed on the product. Refer to the
instructions of your local energy supplier if
necessary for connecting conditions. If the pump or
the power cable do not comply, do not connect the
pump!
Never carry the pump by the cable.
Never remove the plug and never shorten the
cable. If you do, you will invalidate your guarantee.
Keep the connection (plug and socket) dry.
The pump is not suitable for use in swimming
pools and lakes or other situations where persons
could come into physical contact with the water, and
must therefore not be used for this purpose.
Always disconnect the pump from the power
supply when cleaning it or carrying out maintenance
to the pond. This pump is suitable for pumping
water with a minimum temperature of 4 °C and a
maximum temperature of 35 °C.
The pump must not run dry, as this will cause
irreparable damage.
Always disconnect the pump from the mains
supply before cleaning or maintenance.
Clean the chambers from time to time, rinsing
them with clean water, to ensure they are not
clogged with dirt.
