The pump must be installed in vertical position!
Screw first the non-return valve and then the nipple using the connector ideal for ¾’’ and 1’’ pipes provided in the packaging. If a pipe with greater diameter is to be used, change the connector. Use a pipe tightening clamp to secure the pipe to the fitting. It is advisable to use pipes having a minimum internal diameter of ¾’’ mm, to avoid the decrease of pump performance. To avoid obstruction of the suction passages, it is recommended to check periodically that no dirt has accumulated in the collection cistern (leaves, sand, etc.). It is advisable to leave a minimum distance of 20 cm to avoid clogging of the suction grid. Insert the plug in a socket, main power must be 220-240V. The pump must be activated only if immersed in water. Consider a minimum submersion of 50 cm. If the water is finished the pump must be stopped immediately, taking the plug out of the socket (for the non-automatic version). The pump must be placed in a stable position inside a collection cistern or in the lowest part of the place where it is installed. Ensure that the minimum dimensions of the collection cistern in which it is housed are as follows:
- base dimensions (mm) 450x450 / Min. height (mm) 420
- The dimensions of the cistern 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.
For more information always check the pump manual, the updated version of the instruction manual is always available here on the website.
