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 da-
mage 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 motor pumps (TIGER, TIGER BC, SKIPPER, ARVEX & ARVEX BC) are used in ap-
paratus for hoisting clear and dirty water from wells, for emptying settling beds, for pumping
water also in the presence of suspended solid bodies and for pumping aggressive liquids
(ARVEX AISI 316 only). The particularly silent motor pumps installed inside wells or tanks
avoid all problems related to suction and depriming.
The motor pump can be supplied with a floating switch should it be necessary to turn it off in
case of inadequate 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.
