Electrical connection: Make sure that the power supply voltage required by the motor corresponds
to that of the distribution network and that the power supply cables matches the power and current of
the pump.
All the electric connections of the pump and the possible change of power supply cable must be hand-
led by a qualified professional so as to avoid all possible danger.
When making these electrical connections, refer to the diagram given under the lid of the motor terminal
box.
Be sure to check the electric connections are tight and sealed before powering up.
The pre-wiring that might be included on some of the pumps must be removed for final connection of
the pump to the electric power supply. This pre-equipment is only used for works testing during the
manufacturing phases.
Install the pool pump so as to reduce pressure drops to a minimum whilst complying with the distances
specified in the installation standard, namely 3.5m minimum between the pump and the pool. The
suction pipe must be installed with a slight uphill incline towards the pump axis. Ensure that the
connections are correctly tightened and watertight. However, avoid excessively tightening the pipes.
For plastic materials, use Teflon only to ensure watertightness. The diameter of the suction pipe shall
depend on that of the discharge pipe. Avoid damp or non-ventilated locations. The motor requires the
cooling air to circulate freely.
IMPORTANT: Check the direction of rotation before permanently connecting the motor.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR START-UP AND PRIMING: Fill the body of the strainer with water up to the
level of the suction pipe. Never run the pump without water, as the water is necessary for cooling and
lubrication of the mechanical shutter. Open all the suction and discharge pipe valves, and the filter air
purge valve if there is one. (Any air in the suction pipes must be eliminated). Start up the generator and
wait a reasonable time for priming. Five minutes is not excessive for priming (this time depends on the
suction head and the length of the suction pipe). If the pump does not start or does not prime, please
refer to the troubleshooting guide.
1. Completely disconnect the pump from the mains power supply before opening the cover and cleaning
the strainer. Clean the strainer basket regularly. Do not bang on the basket to clean it. Check the seal
on the cover of the strainer and replace it if necessary.
2. The motor shaft is mounted on self-lubricating bearings which do not require any subsequent
lubrication.
3. Keep the motor clean and dry and ensure the ventilation openings are not blocked.
4. The mechanical shutter occasionally starts to leak and must then be changed.
5. Apart from cleaning the pool, all repairs, servicing and maintenance must be carried out by a
KRIPSOL-approved agent or a qualified person.
1. Empty the pump by removing all the drain plugs and store them in the strainer basket.
2. Disconnect the pump, remove the pipe connectors and store the entire unit in a dry, well-ventilated
place or at least take the following precaution: disconnect the pump, remove the 4 bolts attaching
the pump housing to the motor bracket and store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated place. Then cover
the pump housing and strainer to protect them.
N.B.: Before recommissioning the pump, clean all the internal parts to remove dust, lime scale etc.
