5. Before putting the equipment into
operation
5.1 Installing the water particle filter (see Fig. 1)
When you install the filter, pay attention to the
direction of flow (see the arrow on the housing).
Make sure that the filter housing (7) is screwed
securely to the filter top (11).
Screw the connection adapter (12) first to the filter
and then to the suction connection (1) of the pump.
5.2 Connecting the intake line
The intake hose or pipe should have a minimum
n
diameter of 25 mm (1"); a diameter of 32 mm
(11/4") is recommended for suction heights
exceeding 5 m.
Connect the intake valve (foot valve) with intake
n
cage to the intake line.
Position the intake line so that it rises from the
n
water withdrawal point to the equipment. Avoid
positioning the suction pipe higher than the pump,
as this would delay the escape of air bubbles
from the suction pipe and impede the priming
process.
Install the intake and discharge lines in such a
n
way that they do not exert any mechanical
pressure on the equipment.
The intake valve should be low enough in the
n
water to ensure that if the water level falls, the
equipment will not run dry.
A leaking intake line will draw in air and therefore
n
not draw in any water.
5.3 Connecting the discharge line
The discharge line (min. 19 mm (3/4")) must be
n
connected to the 33.3 mm (R1IG) female thread
discharge line connector of the equipment either
directly or with the aid of a threaded nipple.
With the right couplings it is also possible, of
n
course, to use a 13 mm (1/2") delivery hose. The
smaller delivery hose results in a lower delivery
rate.
During the priming operation, fully open any shut-
n
off mechanisms (spray nozzles, valves, etc.) in
the pressure line so that the air can escape
without obstruction.
5.4 Electrical connections
Connect the appliance to a 230 V ~ 50 Hz socket-
n
outlet with earthing contact. Minimum fuse 10
ampere.
0.3 MPa (3 bar) A built-in thermostat protects the motor from
n
overloading and blocking. The pump is switched
IPX4
off automatically by the thermostat if overheating
occurs and is switched on again automatically
after cooling.
6. Operation
Install the equipment on a solid and level surface.
n
The first time the filter is used, venting must be
n
performed at the ventilation screw (10) while the
pump is being filled.
Fill the pump housing with water via the water
n
filler screw (5). Filling the intake line will
accelerate the priming process.
Open the discharge line.
n
Connect the mains cable. The priming process
n
starts automatically.
– priming can take up to 5 minutes at maximum
suction height.
The equipment will shut down when the cut-out
n
pressure of 3 bar is reached.
After a loss of pressure due to water consumption
n
the equipment will cut in again automatically (cut-
in pressure approx. 1.5 bar).
7. Replacing the power cable
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-
sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid
danger.
8. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
The equipment is almost completely maintenance
free. In order to ensure a long service life, however,
we recommend that you regularly check and care for
the product.
Important!
The equipment must be disconnected from the power
supply (pull the power plug) prior to performing any
maintenance.
8.1 Servicing
If the equipment becomes clogged, connect the
n
discharge line to the water line and disconnect
the suction hose. Open the water line. Switch on
the equipment several times for approx.
