the pump (suction side).
DANGER
The pump must never be operated with the shutoff valve on the delivery side closed. The discharge valve
must be opened as soon as the pump has been started up, to prevent damage to the latter by an excessive
increase in liquid temperature.

DANGER
If there is no foot valve or check valve on the suction port, filling must be repeated before each start-up.
DANGER
If the pump has difficulty in increasing pressure, repeat operations 1 to 11. If, after several attempts, the
pump does not operate correctly, see the fault section "quick troubleshooting guide"
