Make sure that the pump and the electric connections are protected from possible inundation.
Before using the pump, always inspect it visually (especially power cables and plugs). Do not use the pump if it is damaged.
If the pump is damaged, have it inspected by the specialised assistance service only.
Do not transport the pump using the cable or use the cable to remove the plug from the socket. Protect the plug and
the power cables from heat, oil or sharp edges.
DANGER
Electric shock
risk
Start-up
Before starting the pump, fill the suction pipe (2) and the pump body (8) using the filling cap (9). Close the cap after
verifying that there are no leaks. Open the closing devices on the delivery pipe (i.e. the water cock) so that air can be
released from the suction cycle.
Insert the pump plug into a 230 V alternate current socket and press the switch.
GARDEN PUMPS FLOTEC are self-priming. Therefore, it is possible to start them without filling the suction pipe with
water. However, it is still necessary to fill the pump body. The priming operation requires a few minutes. It may also
be necessary to fill the pump body with water several times, according to the length and diameter of the suction pipe.
If the electropump is not used for a long period of time, it is necessary to repeat all the operations described above
before starting the pump.
Ch. 6 Maintenance and troubleshooting
DANGER
Electric shock
risk
In ordinary conditions, GARDEN PUMPS FLOTEC do not require any maintenance To prevent possible problems, it
is advisable to periodically check the pressure supplied and current absorption. A reduction of the pressure may
indicate that the electropump is worn. Sand and other corrosive materials present in the delivery fluid cause a rapid
wear and a reduction of performance. In this case, it is advisable to use a filter. An increase in current absorption
indicates the presence of abnormal mechanical friction in the pump and/or the motor.
If the electropump is not going to be used for a long period of time (i.e. one year), it is advisable to empty it completely
(by opening the drain cap, see Fig. 1 n. 10), rinse it with clean water and store it in a dry location, where it can be
protected from frost.

The power cable must be replaced by qualified personnel only.
Make sure the machine is disconnected from electric power supply,
before performing maintenance operation.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
1) No power.
2) Motor protection tripped.
3) Defective condenser.
4) Shaft blocked.
1) The pump is sucking air.
1) The power supply does not comply
with the data on the nameplate.
2) A solid object is blocking the
impellers.
1) Verify that voltage is present and that the plug
has been correctly inserted.
2) Determine the cause of the problem and
reset the switch. If the thermal switch has
been enabled, wait for the system to cool
down.
3) Contact the Customer Assistance Service.
4) Verify the cause and unblock the
electropump.
