6.6. Transportable installation
To avoid early deterioration of the pump when used in
stagnant water or in rivers, mount on a flat surface rai-
sed from the ground so that sand or grit is not lifted.
When a plastic delivery pipe or flexible hose is used,
a rope is required for lowering, securing and lifting
the pump.
A safety rope or chain of non-perishable material
should always be used to secure the pump.
Never use the electric power cable to
suspend the pump.
In order to avoid the risk of mechanical
or electrical injury all portable pumps
should be securely isolated from
electrical power supply prior to their
relocation.
Attach the power supply cable to the delivery pipe or
to the safety rope with cable clamps. The power
cable should not be taut: allow for a certain degree of
slackness to avoid the risk of strain caused by
expansion of the pipe during operation.
With hose holder the maximum flow rate varies
depending on the diameter of the connected
pipe.
6.7 Electrical connection
OFF
Make sure the frequency and mains voltage correspond
with the name plate data.
For use in swimming pools (not when persons are in
the pool), garden ponds and similar places, a residual
current device with IΔN not exceeding 30 mA must be
installed in the supply circuit.
The motor is equipped with a thermal protection device
to ensure the windings are not subjected to excessively
high temperatures.
With power cable type H05 RN-F.
When extension cables are used, make sure the cable
wires are of adequate size to avoid voltage drops and
that the connection stays dry.
6.7.1. Cable with plug
Connect the plug to a socket with an earth lead.
GM5-9 Rev. 1 - Operating Instructions
7 STARTUP AND OPERATION
7.1 Preliminary checks before start-up of the
pump
Do not start-up the device in case of damaged parts.
7.2 First starting
OFF
Never introduce fingers in the suction
opening unless it is absolutely certain the
electric power has been disconnected (that
the pump cannot be accidentally switched on)
and the impeller has stopped rotating
completely.
Never take the pump out of the water while the pump
3.93.004/1
is still operating.
ATTENTION: never run the pump dry, not even
for a short trial run.
Construction with float switch: the float switch
connected directly to the pump controls starting and
stopping.
Check that the float switch is free from any obstacle.
The pump will start when the level of the water rises
above ~350 mm and stops when the level falls to
~150 mm.
7.3 Switch off of the pump
ON
The appliance must be switch off every time
there are faults. (see troubleshooting).
The product is designed for a continuous duty, the
switch off is performed by disconnecting the power
supply by means the expected disconnecting devi-
ces. (see paragraph "6.8 Electrical connection").
8 MAINTENANCE
Before any operations it's necessary to disconnect
the power supply.
If required ask to an electrician or to an expert techni-
cian.
Every maintenance operations, cleaning or
reparation executed with the electrical system
under voltage, it could cause serious injuries
to people.
A possible replacement of the cable or the
level switch must be carried out by an
authorised Calpeda service workshop.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent
or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a
hazard.
In case of extraordinary maintenance, or maintenan-
ce operations that require part-removing, the opera-
tor must be a qualified technician able to read sche-
mes and drawings.
