electrical supply. The open contact distance of the circuit
breaker is to be no less than 3mm.
• The pump is to be powered by an isolation transformer, or
through a residual current device (RCD) with a rated
residual current not exceeding 30 mA.
• Check the pump's name plate for the following: Voltage,
Amp Draw, and Cycle.
• The power cord, including the ground wire, should have a
quality of 60245 IEC 66(H07RN-F).
• Comply with the minimum gauge given in the technical
manual chart.

4.4.4 Electrical connection

Check that the information on the nameplate corresponds to
the power supply. Hire a competent electrician to ensure that
the wiring installation is made in accordance with any local
electrical codes.
Every motor requires either a fused disconnect switch or a
circuit breaker. A single phase motor should have a built-in
thermal overload switch.
4.4.5 Priming
The pump will prime and re-prime, providing the filter tank
water. Ensure that there is sufficient supply from the suction
point. If you lose water from the filter tank, it will be necessary
to refill it before starting.
1. Remove the translucent lid and fill the filter tank with
water.
2. Replace the lid ensuring that the O-ring is correctly attached
and start the pump.
After you have done this, the pump needs to run for a few
minutes before it could start delivering water.
6 Warning
• High suction lift or long suction lines will require additional
time to prime and can severely affect the performance of
the pump. If the pump will not prime, repeat step 1 and 2
above. Mechanical seals, if running dry, can be damaged
rapidly and may need to be replaced.
• Ensure that there is always adequate water in the filter tank
before you start up. If you are unable to prime the pump,
please see the troubleshooting guide.
• Ensure that all suction and discharge valves are open before
you start the pump, otherwise it will cause damage to it.

5 Maintenance and cleaning

5.1 Maintenance
The strainer basket in the filter tank should be inspected and
cleaned at regular intervals.
1. Remove the lid and lift out the basket.
2. Remove the debris and hose off with clean water if
necessary.
3. Inspect the lid gasket. Lubricate with SILICON-based grease
only if needed. If it is damaged, please replace.
4. Replace the strainer.
5. Re-prime the filter tank.
6. Attach the O-ring correctly.
7. Replace the lid (hand tighten) only.
8. Switch on the pump.
In climates where the pump may be exposed to frost or freezing
temperature, care must be taken to ensure that it is protected
from damage.
It is recommended that if the pump is not used during the
winter period, it should be drained completely and stored in a
dry location. Do not replace the drain plug. Store it in a safe
place when not use. You can store the plug in the filter tank
basket.
When you reactivate the pump, ensure that all seals and
O-rings are in operational condition. Re-grease if necessary and
replace if unsure of the condition.
Check that the motor shaft moves freely before re-activation.
6 Warning
• When connecting electric cables to the pump's motor, be
careful to correctly arrange them inside the connection
box, verify that no bits of cable are left inside the box before
closing it. See to it that the ground wire is correctly
connected. When connecting the motor, follow the wiring
diagram supplied with the pump.
• Be especially careful that no water enters the motor or
electrical parts.
• In the event that the planned use is not as specified,
adaptations and supplementary technical rules may be
necessary.
• Before starting the pump, verify the calibration of the
electrical protection devices of the motor. Make sure that
the protective insulation against electrical and mechanical
contacts are correctly positioned and attached.
• It is advisable to follow the steps listed below before
handling the pump in any way.
a) Turn off the pump.
b) Lock the starting devices.
c) Verify that there is no voltage in the circuits, including
ancillary devices and auxiliary circuits.
d) Wait until motor stops completely.
The above list should be considered indicative and not binding
for the purpose of safety; specific safety rules may exist in
particular regulations.
5.2 Regularly verify
1. The correct attachments of the mechanical parts and of the
support screws of the pump.
2. The correct position, attachment, and condition of the
supply cables and of the insulating parts.
3. The temperature of the motor. In the event of any excessive
high, stop immediately and have it repaired.
4. The vibration of the pump. In the case of any excessive high,
