ENGLISH
GENERAL
Read this documentation carefully before installation. Installation and functioning must comply with the
safety regulations in force in the country in which the product is 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 invalidates every right to assistance under guarantee.
APPLICATIONS
Self-priming multistage centrifugal pump with horizontal action, suitable for domestic or industrial uses,
for water supply systems and pressurization. In farming it is ideal for small irrigation work and for
washing tools and machinery.
The machine has been designed and built for pumping water, free from explosive substances and solid
particles or fibres, with a density of 1000 kg/m³ and a kinematic viscosity of 1 mm²/s, and chemically
non-aggressive liquids.
MANAGEMENT
Storage: All the pumps must be stored indoors, in a dry, vibration-free and dust-free environment,
possibly with constant air humidity. They are supplied in their original packaging and must remain there
until the time of installation. If this is not possible, the intake and delivery aperture must be accurately
closed.
Transport: Avoid subjecting the products to needless jolts or collisions.
WARNINGS
It is advisable that installation be carried out by skilled personnel in possession of the technical
qualifications required by the specific legislation in force.
Safety:
Use is allowed only if the electric system is in possession of safety precautions in
accordance with the regulations in force in the country where the product is installed
Responsibility
The Manufacturer does not vouch for correct operation of the pumps if they are tampered
with or modified, run outside the recommended work range or in contrast with the other instructions
given in this manual.
The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for possible errors in this instructions manual, if due to
misprints or errors in copying. The company reserves the right to make any modifications to
products that it may consider necessary or useful, without affecting the essential characteristics.
INSTALLATION
Before installing the pump you must check that the rotating parts turn freely. For this purpose remove the
fan cover from its seat in the motor end cover. Insert a screwdriver in the notch on the motor shaft from
the ventilation side. If there is a blockage, turn the screwdriver, tapping it gently with a hammer. FIG. A
The electropump must be fitted in a well ventilated place, protected from unfavourable weather
conditions and with an environment temperature not exceeding 35°C. Fig.B
A firm anchoring of the pump to the bearing surface favours the absorption of any vibrations caused by
pump operation. Ensure that the metal pipes do not exert undue strain on the apertures, thus
preventing deformations or breakages. Fig. C
It is always good practice to place the pump as close as possible to the liquid to be pumped.
The pump must be installed only in horizontal position. The internal diameters of the pipes must never be
smaller than that of the mouth of the electropump. It is advisable to fit a foot valve on suction. For suction
depths of over four metres or with long horizontal stretches it is advisable to use an intake hose with a
diameter larger than that of the intake aperture of the pump. To prevent the formation of air pockets, the
intake hose must slope slightly upwards towards the pump. Fig. D
