1 GENERAL POINTS

Read this documentation carefully before installation.
Installation and functioning must comply with local and national safety regulations in force in
the country where the product is to be installed.
The entire operation must be carried out in a workmanlike manner.
Failure to comply with the safety regulations not only causes risk to personal safety and
damage to the equipment, but also invalidates any right to warranty assistance.
Keep this manual in a safe place for further consultation even after the first installation.
2 APPLICATIONS
These electropumps (Viginox MXO and Viginox/Viginox V) are suitable for lifting water from
wells, first collection tanks or cisterns, Roman wells or streams, and are suitable for distri-
buting pressurised water in domestic systems, particularly suited to construction work site
(only Viginox/Viginox V), to basement pump out (cellar, garages), to swimming pools pump
out and small agricultural installations, sprinkling systems for gardens and allotments. When
installed in wells or tanks, the pump, which is particularly silent running, avoids all problems
related to suction and loss of priming.
The pump may be supplied with a float switch cutting out operation automatically in the event
of an insufficient water level.
These pumps cannot be used in swimming pools, ponds or tanks in which people are
present, or for pumping hydrocarbons (petrol, diesel fuel, fuel oils, solvents, etc.) in
accordance with the accident-prevention regulations in force.
N.B. : The liquid employed in the pump for lubricating the sealing device is not toxic, but it
could alter the water properties (in the case of pure water) if there were any leaks in the seal.

3 PUMPED FLUIDS

The machine has been designed and built for pumping water, free from explosive substances,
and solid particles or fibres, with a density of 1 Kg/dm3 and a kinematic viscosity of 1mm2/s,
and chemically non-aggressive liquids.

5 MANAGEMENT
5.1. STORAGE
All the pumps must be stored indoors in a dry, vibration-free and dust-free environment, possi-
bly at constant air humidity.
They are supplied in their original packaging and must be kept there until installation.
5.2. TRANSPORT
Avoid subjecting the products to needless jolts or collisions.
The electropumps must never be carried or lifted by their power cables.
6 WARNINGS

6.1. QUALIFIED PERSONNEL

Installation should be performed by skilled and qualified personnel, in possession of the
technical qualifications required by the specific regulations in force.
The term qualified personnel means persons who, because of their training, experience and
regulations as well as all operating circumstances, have been entitled by the person responsible
for the system to work on and with the system and to see and avoid all possible dangers (Defi-
nition for technical personnel. (Definition for technical personnel IEC 364).
6.2. SAFETY
- Use is allowed only if the electric system is provided with safety precautions in accordance
with the regulations in force in the country where the product is installed (for Italy, CEI 64/2).
- Never let the pump run dry.
- The pump cannot be used in swimmingpools, ponds or tanks in which people are present.
- The pump is provided with a handle to which a rope or cable may be connected to lower the
machine into working position.
The pumps must never be carried, lifted or operated hanging from their power cables.
- Qualified personnel must be employed for all electrical repairs which, if badly carried out,
could cause damage and accidents.

6.3. MOTOR SHAFT ROTATION CHECK

If the motor does not work and the shaft does not turn when the switch and/or float is ope-
rated, you must check that all working parts are turning freely.
To do this:
- Completely disconnect the pump from the mains.
- Place the pump in a horizontal position.
- Remove the grill and the diffuser, and operating on the self-loccking-nut with a fork
wrench 13 (from 10 for only Viginox/Viginox V 30), rotate the shaft motor clockwise.
- Reassemble the grill and the conveyor and install the electropump as indicated in
chapter 7.
