CHAPTER 3
INSTALLATION (SEE FIG. 1)
DANGER - ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK
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.
WARNING
Protect the electropump and all pipes from bad weather or freezing conditions.
DANGER
This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years or over and by persons with limited physical, sensory
or intellectual capabilities, or with limited experience and knowledge, provided that they are supervised
or have been instructed in the safe use of the appliance and are aware of the dangers involved. Children
must not be allowed to play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by
children unless they are supervised
DANGER
To prevent possible injuries to people, avoid inserting hands into the mouth of the pump if this is con-
nected to the mains.
Use a suction pump (2) with a diameter equivalent to that of the suction mouth of the electropump (1).
If the height (HA) is over 4 meters use a tube with a larger diameter. The suction line should be perfectly airtight.
No elbows and/or slopes should be present to prevent the formation of air locks that could affect the electropump
efficiency. A foot valve (3) with filter (4) should be fitted at about half a metre below the fluid that has to be pumped
(HI) on one end of the line. Load losses can be reduced using delivery piping with a diameter equivalent or greater
than the electropump mouth (5). It is advisable to install a check valve (6) directly on the delivery line to prevent the
electropump being damaged by "water hammer".
Piping should be fitted so that vibrations, when existing, tension and weight do not affect the pump. Piping should
be routed along the shortest and straighter track, avoiding an excessive number of bends. Verify that the motor is
properly ventilated.
For permanent installations, it is advisable to fix the electropump to the supporting base, connect the system with
a section of non flexible pipe and insert a layer of rubber (or another anti-vibration material) between the supporting
base and the pump, in order to reduce vibrations. For fixed installations, use pipes suitable for this purpose that
allow gas oil permanence for long periods.
Optionally, observe the rules for proper pipe maintenance.
The place of installation must be steady and dry to ensure proper and uninterrupted operation of the booster set
The pump should be fitted in a stable position in order to avoid falls and protect it from inundation.
ATTENTION!
Connection, suction and delivery pipes should be connected with the utmost care. Make sure that all connections
fixed by means of screws are sealed. Avoid applying excessive stress to tighten the screws of connections or of
other components. Use hemp to seal the joints tight.
