The pump cannot support the weight of the pipes, which must be supported in some other way.
4. MANAGEMENT
4.1
Storage
All the pumps must be stored in a dry covered place, with possible constant air humidity, free from vibrations and dust.
They are supplied in their original pack in which they must remain until the time of installation.
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.
It is recommended to open/close the venting/drainage caps (2 and 6) without applying excessive force.
6. INSTALLATION
The electrical system must be compliant with local norms.

The pump must be installed in a place protected from unfavourable weather conditions, and with an environment
emperature not higher than 40°C.
The pump is provided with vibration-damping rubber feet, but in the case of fixed installations it is possible to remove them
and provide anchorage to the base (7).
Do not allow the pipes to transmit excessive forces to the pump inlets (3) and (4), to avoid creating deformations or
breakages.
It is always good practice to place the pump as close as possible to the liquid to be pumped. The pump must be
installed only in horizontal position.
The pipes must never have an internal diameter smaller than that of the pump inlets; on intake, the pump is provided with
a filter (1) and a check valve (NRV) (5).
For suction depths of over four metres or with long horizontal stretches it is advisable to use an intake hose with a diameter
larger than that of the intake aperture of the pump. To prevent the formation of air pockets, the intake hose must slope
slightly upwards towards the pump. Fig.2
If the suction pipe is made of rubber or flexible material, always check that it is of the reinforced vacuum-resistant type to
avoid shrinkage due to suction.
In case of a fixed installation, it is recommended to fit a closing valve on both the suction side and the delivery side. This
allows closure of the line upstream and/or downstream from the pump, useful for service and cleaning operations or for
periods in which the pump is not in use.
The pump has a rotating inlet to facilitate installation (3) and (4)
In the case of flexible pipes, if necessary, use a bend fig.1 and the gardening kit composed of a PE pipe and a kit of
couplings with lance. These are not supplied, but can be bought separately. In the case of very small dirt, as well as the
integrated filter (1), it is recommended to use a pump inlet filter fitted on the suction pipe.
Do not subject the motor to excessive starts/hour; it is strongly recommended not to exceed 20 starts/hour.
The diameter of the suction pipe must be greater than or the same as the diameter of the pump inlet,
see Table 2.
