• The pumps should never work without having been filled with water before-
hand as, otherwise, this could cause a damage to the mechanical seal and
eventually producing a water leak. (Fig.3)
• Check that the rotation sense of the motor is correct, by checking the fan at
the back of the motor (fig.5)
· Check that the pump axle turns freely.
START-UP
• Open all valves and connect the motor.
• Wait a reasonable time for the self-priming to take place.
5. MAINTENANCE.
• Clean the pre-filter basket regularly in order to avoid drops in pressure. In
order to avoid possible basket breakage it is recommended not to knock it
during the cleaning process.
• If the pump stops, check that the motor amp consumption during his work-
ing is the same or less than that indicated on the manufacturer's specifica-
tion board, otherwise, contact the nearest Customer Technical Service.
• If the amp rate is higher, consult the manufacturer.
