PROFESSIONAL SUBMERSIBLE PUMPS
1. General safety instructions
This manual contains the main safety rules
and precautions.
Please read all these instructions carefully
before of installing and using the device.
Keep this manual in a clean and easily accessible
place.
In the event that the pump is sold, be sure to transfer
all the documentation to the new owner.
During electric pump installation and
electrical hookup, carefully follow the
instructions in the section "Installation",
remembering that these operations must only be
performed by competent technical personnel.
This device complies with the safety regulations
currently in force.
Improper use may cause harm to people and
things; therefore, do not use the device for any
purposes not expressly indicated in Section 4 of
this manual: "Using the submersible pump".
Do not tamper with the device to modify its
characteristics, performances or type of use: any
operation of this kind not only immediately
invalidates the warranty, but also implies the full
liability of the user for any damage that may occur
during operation. Never put the submersible pump
into operation in the air.
Pay ATTENTION to the free ends of the power
cables, which must never come into contact with
any type of liquid.
Do not introduce any object and/or your hands
into the inlet and outlet holes (or grilles), as this
could cause serious injury.

1.1. INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE INSTALLATION
AND MAINTENANCE
Before proceeding to any type of maintenance
operation, make sure that these basic safety
rules are followed:
– Use qualified technicians for any maintenance
operation that requires the replacement of mecha-
nical or electrical parts.
– Switch off the main switch of the electric pump
and close the inlet and outlet shutters.
– Disconnect the pump from the power supply source.
– If the pump is submerged, bring it out.
– If the pump was in operation, first allow it to cool
outside until it reaches a temperature lower than
40º C.
BURN DANGER!
– Carry out the repair or maintenance; always
replace worn or broken parts with original spare
parts.
For any doubt about repairs or replacements to be
done, contact the manufacturer or retailer.
1.2. MAINTENANCE IN WELLS
OR SEPTIC TANKS
Further precautions to follow in the case of
installation in wells and/or septic tanks
containing harmful gasses:
– NEVER stay alone when carrying out maintenance
in these environments.
– Before starting the work, allow air to circulate in
the well.
– Make sure that the safety ropes and hooks are in
perfect condition before letting personnel down
into the wells; also make sure that there are no
obstacles to an immediate return upward in the
case of emergency.
– DANGER OF EXPLOSION! It is absolutely prohibited
to install the pumps in wells, tanks, or basins with
the presence of GAS, as there is a danger of
explosion.
1.3. CUTTY VERSIONS
Pay special attention in manoeuvring the
CUTTY version pumps, as they contain
chopping blades in the lower inlet mouth!
1.4. PROTECTIVE DEVICES TO BE USED
When you are going to be handling a sub-
mersible pump, it is necessary to wear sui-
table clothing and devices to protect your
personal safety:
protective gloves, safety shoes, safety goggles, leather
apron or analogous protection.
If you are carrying out maintenance or repairs on
pumps already installed, it is necessary to clean them
carefully all over before starting the work, especially
if they have been immersed in biological or dangerous
liquids.
1.5. RESIDUAL RISKS
Like any other device connected to a
source of electricity, the submersible
pump has the residual risk of:
DANGER OF ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE!
