ATTENTION!!!
Connection, suction and delivery pipes should be connected with the utmost care. Make sure that all connections
xed by means of screws are sealed. Avoid applying excessive stress to tighten the screws of connections or of other
components. Use a Te on tape to completely seal all joints.

Instructions for a safe pump start
Avoid exposing the pump to humidity. Protect the pump from rain, making sure that there are no leaking ttings over
the pump. Avoid using the pump in wet or damp environments.
Make sure that the pump and the electric connections are protected from possible inundation.
Before using the pump, always inspect it visually (especially power cables and plugs). Do not use the pump if it is damaged.
If the pump is damaged, have it inspected by the specialised assistance service only.
Do not transport the pump using the cable or use the cable to remove the plug from the socket. Protect the plug and
the power cables from heat, oil or sharp edges.

Start-up
Before starting the pump, ll the suction pipe (2) and the pump body (8) using the lling cap (9). Close the cap after
verifying that there are no leaks. Open the closing devices on the delivery pipe (i.e. the water cock) so that air can be
released from the suction cycle.
Position the switch present on the terminal box cover on "1" and insert the pump plug into a 230 V alternate current
socket. The pump starts immediately.
BOOSTER SETS FLOTEC are self-priming. Therefore, it is possible to start them without lling the suction pipe with
water. If the electropump is not used for a long period of time, it is necessary to repeat all the operations described
above before starting the pump.

Verify that the voltage and frequency of the electropump shown on the nameplate
correspond to those available on the mains.
The installer must make sure that the electric system is grounded in
accordance with the law in force.
Make sure that the electric system has a high-sensitivity circuit breaker
=30 mA (DIN VDE 0100T739).
Use the electropump for the applications listed on the nameplate.
Do not operate the electropump without uids.
Do not run the electropump with a completely closed delivery.
Caution, in case of faults of the control device, erroneous calibration of the pressure switch
or leaks in the vacuum pipe, the pump may remain switched on even in the absence of the
water supply, thus causing the pumped liquid to overheat, with consequent risks of burns.
In these cases, avoid touching the pump and its pipes and keep the prescribed safety
distance, remove the power supply and wait until it has cooled down completely before
performing any maintenance works.
The power cable must be replaced by quali ed personnel only.
