4.2
Transport
Avoid subjecting the products to needless impacts and collisions.
4.3
Weight and dimensions
The adhesive plate on the packaging indicates the total weight of the pump and its dimensions.
5. WARNINGS
The pumps must never be carried, lifted or allowed to operate suspended from the power cable; use the
handle provided.
The pump must never be allowed to run when dry.
The sealing device contains lubricant which is non-toxic but which may alter the characteristics of the water, in the case
of pure water, if the pump were to have any leaks.
6. INSTALLATION
The electrical system must be compliant with local norms.
Screw on the elbow with hosetail fitting provided in the packaging. Use a pipe tightening clamp to secure the pipe to the
fitting.
If the bottom of the trap where the pump is to be placed is particularly dirty, a raised support should be provided so as
to avoid blocking of the suction grid (Fig.1)
Totally immerse the pump in the water.
Ensure that the minimum dimensions of the trap in which it is housed are as follows:
Min. base dimensions (mm) 200x200 (7.87"x7.87")/ Min. height (mm) 400 (15.75")
The dimensions of the trap must always be in relation to the quantity of water arriving and to the flow of the pump, so
as not to subject the motor to excessive starts/hour; it is strongly recommended not to exceed 20 starts/hour.
The pump must be installed in vertical position!
7. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The length of the power cable on the pump limits the maximum depth of immersion in use of the pump.
Follow the indications on the technical data plate and in this manual, table 2.
8. START-UP
1)
Insert the plug of the power cable in a 115 – 120V power socket.
2)
When the float reaches the ON level the pump will start and will continue operating until it reaches the OFF level.
Automatic operation (A):
3)
The integrated float switch starts and stops the pump automatically when the indicator (2) is positioned on "A".
Manual operation (M):
4)
To start the pump, lift the knob (3) positioning the indicator (2) on "M". In these conditions the suction level of the
pump will be down to 2-3 mm (0.08"-0.12").
5)
In order to check the correct working and clean the float switch open the cover (1) positioning the knob (3) on "O"
9. PRECAUTIONS
RISK OF FROST: when the pump remains inactive at a temperature lower than 32 F, it is necessary to ensure that there
is no water residue which could freeze, causing cracks in the plastic parts.
