TRANSLATION FROM ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS
In outdoor fountains, garden ponds and similar places the pump is to be supplied through a residual current device (RCD)
having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA. If these pumps are used in continuous mode for ponds
with fish, it is necessary to check them at regular intervals of 6 months (if the water contains aggressive substances).
It is also advisable to check the maximum dimension of particles recommended for the pump and take the necessary
measures to prevent the fish from being sucked into the pump.

DANGER
FLOTEC ComPac pumps come with a check valve that prevents the delivery pipe from being drained and the fluid from
recirculating.
If the pump is fixed in a permanent location with rigid pipes, it is advisable to install a quick closing fitting in the most
convenient location to facilitate cleaning and maintenance.
The dimensions of the collection chamber should allow the insertion of the pump and reduce to the minimum the start-
up operations per hour (see LIMITATIONS - Technical data).
Use the handle provided to transport or lift the pump.
To use the pump for temporary applications, install a flexible pipe and connect it to the pump using a pipe holder. To
immerse the pump, use a rope and fix it to the handle.
The pumps used in ponds, small lakes, fountains or similar installations or close to them should have a safety switch.
Contact a specialised electrician.

Chap. 5 Electric Connection
Verify that the voltage and frequency of the electropump shown on the nameplate correspond to
those available on the mains.
The installer must make sure that the electric system is grounded in accordance with the law
in force.
Make sure that the electric system has a high-sensitivity circuit breaker
0100T739).
The power cable must be replaced by qualified personnel only.
Grounding
The plug of the power cable has a double grounding contact, so that grounding can be performed by simply inserting
the plug.

When installing, please ensure electropump is disconnected from electrical
supply. Pumps in this series are not suitable for use in a swimming pool and
the relevant cleaning and servicing operations.
To prevent possible injuries to people, avoid inserting hands into the mouth of the pump if
this is connected to the mains.
The fitting supplied with FLOTEC ComPac pumps can be adapted to the dimensions of the
pipe used.
To connect a threaded pipe or a 3/4" (19 mm) quick closing fitting, tighten it directly on the
threaded part (location a).
When using a Ø 25 mm (1") pipe, cut the stage that is not being used at the correct height
(up to point b).
When using a Ø 32 mm (1 1/4"), cut the stages that are not being used at the correct height
(up to point c).
