6. WORKING PRINCIPLE

The pump starts when the power is connected and
stops when it is disconnected.
6.1. MOUNTING
- Mount the pump within 1.5 metres of the water
supply for optimum performance and life. The further
away it is, the harder it works, increasing vibration
and noise, and reducing the pump's output. The
suction head may decrease as the pump is used.
- Mount the pump in a space of at least 1 m3 for
adequate ventilation to avoid overheating.
- The pump can be mounted in a horizontal or vertical
position. Horizontal mounting is preferred.
- Mount the pump so that there is access for cleaning
the strainer, maintenance and servicing.
- Mount the pump on a flat and solid surface to avoid
vibrations and noise.
6.2. ELECTRICAL
The pump works best on a dedicated electrical
circuit, protected by the appropriate fuse or circuit
breaker.
Size of the electric cable: if an extension cable is
needed, keep a section equal to or greater than the
original cable. When used in a motor home or boat,
and to avoid energy loss and overheating along the
length, it is advisable to oversize the diameter of the
electrical cables.
6.3. PLUMBING
The installation of a strainer or prefilter is necessary
to prevent debris from entering the pump.
To reduce noise and vibration, we recommend the
use of at least 50 cm of high pressure hose before
and after the pump. The pump ports and strainer
should not be connected directly to a rigid hose.
6.4. OPERATION
This pump is designed for intermittent service only.

7. MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance of the pump is recommended:
checking and cleaning of the strainer, cleaning of the
pump and winterizing, occasional checking of the
tightness of all pipes and fittings. Lack of cleaning is
the main reason for premature pump failure and poor
performance over time. Lack of cleaning will lead to
scale build-up on the diaphragm and valves.
7.1. WINTERING
If water freezes in the system, serious damage to the
pump and accessories may occur.
Such an incident will not be covered by the warranty,
so in order to avoid it, the complete draining of the
pump is recommended. It is preferable to dismantle
the pump completely for the winter and drain all
pipes.
7.2. SANITARY ASPECT
Drinking water systems require periodic maintenance
to ensure the proper functioning of the components
and to provide a constant flow of fresh water.
Disinfection is recommended: before storage, after
a storage period, or whenever the system is opened
or contaminated.

8. ELECTRIC CONNECTION

- The pump has a mains cable with plug. The cable
and plug may only be replaced by trained personnel
to avoid damage. Do not carry the pump by the cable
and do not use the cable to disconnect the device.
Protect the pump from heat, oil and sharp edges.
- The technical data must correspond to the mains
voltage. The person responsible for the installation
must ensure that the electrical connection is earthed
according to the standards.
- The electrical system must be equipped with a
high-sensitivity earth leakage circuit breaker:
Δ = 30 mA.
- Extension cables must not have a smaller
cross-section than the original one. The plug and
connections must be protected from splashing
water.

9. MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Prior to carrying out any maintenance work,
the pump must be separated from the
electrical mains. If you fail to separate the
unit from mains, there is a risk of an inadvertent start
of the pump.
We decline any liability for damage caused
by inappropriate repair attempts. Any
damage caused by inappropriate repair
attempts will avoid all warranty claims.
Regular maintenance and thorough care will reduce
the danger of possible malfunction and contribute to
an extension of the lifetime of your unit.
