The manufacturer has the right to modify the prod-
ucts without previous notice for as far as their char-
acteristics are not really changed by this.
GENERAL
Check carton for any evidence of damage due to
rough handling in shipment.
If carton or any pump components are damaged,
notify the carrier immediately.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Please note :
There can be specific needs to use pumps for swim-
ming pools, garden ponds etc.
• Install the pump as near to the pool as possible
• Use a direct and short suction line with continuous
slope in order to avoid long priming times.
• The pump should be placed on a flat, solid founda-
tion, high enough to prevent flooding of the motor.
• Install the filter and pump in a sheltered location,
ensuring ventilation and adequate access for serv-
icing.
• Do not mount electrical controls directly on the
pump. Provide adequate floor drainage to prevent
flooding.
• Size all piping adequately and keep the number of
elbows to a minimum.
• Independently support the pipe near the suction
and discharge of the pump, in order to reduce the
strain on the pump.
• Avoid over tightening pipe connections.
• Use only pipe sealants formulated for plastics. Do
not use petroleum based products. It is essential
that the suction line is free of air leaks.
The suction line should always have at least the
same size as the suction inlet of the pump.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Starting the pump
• Fill pump strainer with water to suction pipe level.
• Lubricate the lid O-ring with silicone each time it is
removed.
• Energize the motor, the pump will prime. The prim-
ing time depends on the suction lift and distance to
the pool. Five minutes is a reasonable time.
• Pump will not lift more than 2,5 meter. If pump does
not prime, see troubleshooting guide.
Maintenance
• The strainer basket should be daily removed and
cleaned.
• Never operate the pump without its strainer basket.
Winterizing
• Protect the pump from freezing.
• Remove all plugs, and drain the pump and all pip-
ing.
• Store drains and plugs in the strainer basket.
• Remove the pump to a dry and warm room.
• Do not wrap the motor with plastic covering as con-
densation may damage the pump.
• In installations where the pump can't be drained, a
solution of 40% propylene glycol and 60% water
will protect the pump to - 40°C.
• Do not use other anti-freeze solutions, these are all
highly toxic and will damage the pump.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

• The electrical motor must be wired by a profes-
sional and according to the installation instructions
of your local Electricity Company.
• Make sure that you interrupt the power supply to
the cables when connecting the cables of the
pump.
VERY IMPORTANT :
• At the installation of the pumps a motor security
has to be foreseen.
• The security has to be tuned in to the nominal
power of the motor.
