Automation With Special Accessories; Maintenance And Troubleshooting - SPIDO JETINOX 800 Mode D'emploi

Please inspect the pump visually prior to each use. This applies in particular to the mains connection line and the
mains plug. Make sure that all screws are firmly tightened, and verify the perfect condition of all connections. A
damaged pump must not be used. In any case of damage, the pump has to be inspected by qualified service
staff.
Prior to the first time the pump is put into operation, the pump housing (8) has to be fully vented. To do so, please
fill the pump housing (8) through the filling opening (9) completely with water. Please check to make sure that no
leakage occurs. Subsequently, close the filling opening airtight again. It is highly recommended to vent the suction
line (2) as well, i.e. to fill it with water. It is true that the electrical pumps SPIDO are self
priming and can be put into operation by filling only the pump housing with water. In this case, however, the pump
will require some time before it will have sucked in the liquid to be pumped and proceed to the actual discharging
function. In addition, this way of proceeding may require the pump to be filled several times. This depends on the
length and diameter of the suction line. After filling, please open any shutting device (7) in the pressure line, for
instance a water tap, to enable the air to escape during sucking in.
Plug the mains plug into a 230V AC socket. Subsequently, please start the pump by operating the on/off switch.
As soon as the liquid is being discharged evenly and without air mixture, the system is ready for operation. To
stop the pump, please operate the on/off switch again. You may then close the shut-off valve in the pressure line
again.
If the pump was out of operation for some extended period of time, the steps described above have to be
repeated for a renewed putting into operation.
The electrical pumps SPIDO are equipped with an integrated thermal motor protection
feature. In the case of overload, the motor will switch off independently and on again after cooling down. For
possible causes and their elimination, please refer to the "Maintenance and troubleshooting" section.

Automation with special accessories

The present model is capable of rendering the pressure which may be required for automation, should need be. In
this context, the term of "automation" means that the liquid being discharged can be used just as if taken from the
water mains: Simply by opening or shutting water taps or consumer elements.
For automation, you will need an electronic or mechanic control system which can be installed very quickly and
conveniently. As an additional benefit, some of the control systems provide a very effective protection from
damage caused by dry-running since they will cut out the pump in the case of lack of water.
Our range of accessories contains some particularly reliable and proven control systems. For detailed information,
please refer to www.tip-pumpen.de or to your specialised dealer.

Maintenance and troubleshooting

Prior to carrying out any maintenance work, the pump must be separated from the electrical
mains. If you fail to separate the unit from mains, there is a risk of an inadvertent start of the
pump.
We decline any liability for damage caused by inappropriate repair attempts. Any damage
caused by inappropriate repair attempts will avoid all warranty claims.
Regular maintenance and thorough care will reduce the danger of possible malfunction and contribute to an
extension of the lifetime of your unit.
If the pump is to be put out of operation for some extended period of time, it should be emptied completely in by
opening the water drain screw (10). Subsequently, please flush the pump with clean water. Then allow the pump
body to dry completely in order to prevent corrosion damage.
Water left in the pump may freeze in case of frost and thus cause considerable damage. Please store the pump in
a dry, frost- protected place.
In the case of malfunction, you should first of all check whether it was caused by an operating error or some other
reason which cannot be attributed to a defect of the device - for instance a power failure.
The list below shows some possible malfunctions of the device, possible causes and tips on their elimination. All
the measures referred to may only be carried out with the pump being separated from the electrical mains. If you
yourself feel unable to eliminate any of these malfunctions, please contact the customer service department or
your point of sales. Any repair beyond the scope specified below must only be performed by qualified staff.
Please bear in mind that all warranty claims will become void in the case of damage caused by inappropriate
repair attempts, and that we decline any liability for any ensuing damage.
