For 230 V, use a H07 RN-F3 type connection sleeve with a cable section that adapts to the power of the motor and
to the length of the cable.
l
For pumps with a three-phase motor:
Use a motor guard with magneto-thermal protection.
l
Protect the pump against overloads with a cut-off switch for the motor.
l
Adjust the thermal value according to the thermal protection table. For the connection D (3 x 230 V network), use
the protection with the highest indicated value. For the connection U (3 x 400 V network), use the protection
l
with the lowest indicated value.
Connect the lowest voltage at D and the highest at U for voltage intervals other than 230/400 V; 400/690 V.
l
For AC, use a H07 RN-F3 type connection sleeve with a cable section that adapts to the power of the motor and
the length of the cable.
l
The mains cable may only be connected by skilled, authorised personnel.

4. START-UP INSTRUCTIONS
PRIOR TO START-UP
- Carry out the following operations before starting the pump:
1. Remove the pre-filter cap by unscrewing the nut holding it in place (Fig. 5).
2. Fill the pump with water through the pre-filter until it rises up through the suction pipe.
3. Should the basket be removed during these operations, do not forget to replace it to prevent large particles from
entering the pump that could block it.
4. Check that the mains voltage and frequency correspond with those indicated on the pump characteristics plate.
- Fit the pre-filter cap and screw on tight, not forgetting to fit the seal in its housing (Fig. 5).
- The pumps must not be run without the pre-filter having first been filled with water. Where this is not the case, the
mechanical gasket may be damaged, leading to a loss of water.
- Check that the motor rotates in the correct direction by means of the fan located at the back of the motor that can
be seen through the view hole on the fan cover (Fig. 6).
START-UP
- Open all the valves and connect the motor.
- Activate the self-priming and wait a reasonable time for this to be completed.
5. MAINTENANCE
- For regular control:
Check that the mechanical parts are tightly secured and check the condition of the screws supporting the machine.
l
Clean the pre-filter basket regularly to avoid drops in pressure. To prevent the basket from breaking, do not hit it during
the cleaning process.
l
The pump should be checked every 100 hours of operation or less, depending on the level of cleanliness of the water.
l
Check the temperature of the machine and the electric motor. In the event of a fault, stop the machine immediately
and contact the nearest Technical Assistance Service.
