3. Starting the pump
Giving the different provisions applicable to the safety of electric systems
in different countries, make sure that the pump system, as concerns its
intended use, is in accordance with current legislation.
Before starting the pump make sure that:
• the voltage and frequency specified on the pump's nameplate
coincide with those of the available power supply;
• there are no signs of damage to the pump or its power cord;
• the electric connection is made in a dry place, protected against any
risk of flooding;
• the electric system is complete with a residual current circuit-breaker
(I Δn ≤ 30 mA) and a efficient earthing connection;
• Any extension cords must comply with the requirements of the DIN
VDE standard 0620.
The suction opening of the pump must be placed at the lowest point of the
tank. Make sure that the pump cannot sink into the mud. Make sure that
the suction opening always remains clear.
Keep away from the immediate vicinity when starting the pump. The
pump can move during start-up due to the force of the motor. This can
lead to injury in case of physical contact.
Installation
Start the pump by plugging the power cable into a
power outlet.
