Pump anchorage
Use the slots on the filter cap (see Fig. 2, pos. 1) to anchor the pump. Then, remove the inserts from the filter cap. It is also
possible to insert 3 screws in the widest section of the slots (see Fig. 2, pos. 2) and turn the filter cap counterclockwise
so that the screws keep the cap in place in the narrowest section of the slots (Fig. 2, pos. 3). After fixing the filter cap, it is
necessary to insert the pump in the related guides (see Fig. 3, pos. 4) and turn it counterclockwise to fix it in place (Fig. 5).

Instructions for a safe pump start
The power cable should have a minimum section equivalent to that of H05 RN-F. To be able to use the pump outdoors,
it is necessary to use cable with a length of 10 m. The plug and connections should be protected by water splashes.
Before using the pump, always inspect it visually (especially power cable and plug). Do not use the pump if it is damaged.
If the pump is damaged, have it inspected by the specialised assistance service only.
Make sure that electric connections are protected from inundation.
Protect the plug and the power cable from heat, oil or sharp edges.

Grounding
The plug of the power cable has a double grounding contact, so that grounding can be performed by simply inserting
the plug.
Overload protection
FLOTEC VIPVORT series pumps have a built-in thermal protection switch. The pump stops if an overload condition occurs.
The motor restarts automatically after it has cooled down (see point 4 of the Troubleshooting section for information
on causes and corrective actions).
To start the pump, insert the plug in a 230 V alternate current socket.
ATTENTION: the pump runs as soon as the floating switch reaches the start-up level.
Ch. 5 Maintenance and troubleshooting
In ordinary conditions, FLOTEC VIPVORT series electropumps do not require any maintenance.
It may be necessary to clean the hydraulics or replace the impeller.

Hydraulics cleaning VIPVORT (see Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6)
Disassembly of the filter cap: disassemble the filter cap only after removing the safety screw (See Fig. 3, pos. 6). Keep
the pump motionless and turn the filter cap clockwise looking at the pump from the bottom. To assemble the filter cap,
turn it counterclockwise (see Fig. 4).
If the filter cap is fixed on the base with screws, turn the pump clockwise in the direction of the handle to disassemble
it (See Fig. 5).
Verify that the voltage and frequency of the electropump shown on the nameplate
correspond to those available on the mains.
The installer must make sure that the electric system is grounded in
accordance with the law in force.
Make sure that the electric system has a high-sensitivity circuit
breaker
The power cable must be replaced by qualified personnel only.
Make sure the machine is disconnected from electric power supply,
before performing maintenance operation.
