PLACEMENT<br />
CAUTION: The pump must always be located at least 3.5 [m] from the edge of the basin from which water is drawn.<br />
If the pump is placed outside the pool it is advisable to put a simple cover to protect it from rain. This protection will make<br />
the pump last longer.<br />
Make sure the aeration grating vents are always free so that correct pump ventilation is guaranteed.<br />
Make sure the pump is positioned in a site in which the noise it generates during normal operations does not cause<br />
disturbance.<br />
The pump must run in a horizontal position. Make sure its position is not altered once it is correctly placed.<br />
Do not install the pump more than 3 [m] above the water level.<br />
The self-triggering capacity can be considerably reduced by obstacles caused by pipes (for example pipes which are too<br />
long or insufficiently sized).<br />
Check that the pipes have no leaks otherwise the pump will not start completely.<br />
The transparent lid of the pre-filter (5), when present, must be tightly closed, the hosetails (1) completely screwed and the<br />
inlet pipes must be as short as possible; this will reduce the time that is needed to start which depends on the quantity of<br />
air found inside the inlet pipe. If the pipe is too long, it may take a great deal of time start.<br />
The inlet piping should be placed below the water level.<br />
Carefully follow the indications reported in “START UP” for the triggering procedure.<br />
If the piping is installed above the water level it is advisable to use a gate valve at the inlet so that the piping does not<br />
empty while the pump is off. This will help to contain the triggering time when the pump is started up again (for example<br />
after cleaning the frame).<br />
The plug must always be easily reachable.<br />
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION<br />
The pump is outfitted with a 5 [m] waterproof cable and a Shuko three-pole plug. Do not alter this configuration without<br />
authorization from a specialized technician.<br />
Use a proper reduction unit to connect the plug to the electrical supply if necessary.<br />
In case of breakage contact qualified personnel for replacement: never replace the cable yourselves!<br />
START UP<br />
Screw the two hosetails supplied (1) to the end, in correspondence to the IN and OUT pipe fittings of the pump. If this<br />
operation should be difficult use a monkey wrench.<br />
Connect the inlet pipe to the IN union (fig. 2) and the outlet pipe to the OUT union (Fig. 3). Fasten the pipes with<br />
STAINLESS clamps.<br />
In case of leaks at the level of the connection between pipe and pump wrap some Teflon around the hose holder (1).<br />
Screw the transparent lid of the pre-filter tightly (5, when present) and make sure the OR gasket (3) is intact and correctly<br />
positioned in its special housing.<br />
To prime correctly the pump follow the instructions on Fig.1<br />
Slowly fill the pump with clean water in the inlet pipe, making sure that the outlet pipe also fills up (Fig.1).<br />
Activate the pump by connecting it to the electric network only when the whole circuit is full of water. The residual air<br />
found in the circuit will be emptied from the pump and it will begin to run.<br />
ATTENTION: the pump must never run when empty.<br />
ATTENTION: do not use the pump without its pre-filter basket (4), when present, otherwise the pump may jam or be<br />
irreparably damaged.<br />
ATTENTION: when using any type of stop valve make sure the line is completely open as the pump must never run with<br />
valves closed.
