USE OF EXTENSIONS
When using an extension cable, double check you are using the gauge that will suffice to transport the current
the pump needs. A lower gauge cable will cause power drops in the line resulting in power loss and motor
overheating
The following table shows the right size to be used depending on cable's length and the ampere capability
shown in the nameplate. If you have any doubts use the next higher gauge. Remember, the lower the gauge,
the heavier the cable will be. Double check the extension cable is in good repair and it has a ground conductor.
Minimum gauge for
extension cords (AWG)
(For 127V~ only)
(1) Is allowed to use only when the extensions have a built in over current protection artifact.
(2) One conductor shall be a ground conductor. All the conductors are the same designation (gauge) including
the ground one.

INSTALLATION
The pumps shall be installed in a dry place with
adequate ventilation. Environment temperature shall
not exceed 104 ºF
Set the pump in place onto a flat and solid surface.
Use the right bolts to prevent vibration. The pump
shall be installed in a horizontal position to assure
the bearings work properly. The suction pipe diameter
shall be smaller than the suction mouth. If the suction
height exceeds 13.1 ft use a pipe with a
larger diameter.
Secure the automatic control to the pump outlet
using the union nut (B). Verify that the arrow on the
control water outlet points in the direction of the
outlet line.
The outlet pipe diameter shall be selected according
to the flow speed and pressure required in the power
take-off points. The suction pipe shall have an
upwards angle towards the suction mouth to prevent
air locks (Fig. A).

Supply
of water
Double check the suction pipe is completely hermetic
and is submerged at least half-a- meter to prevent
air bubbles formation.
Always install a foot valve in the beginning of the
suction pipe. It is advisable to set a non- return valve
between the outlet mouth and the flow speed adjust
flap to prevent a dangerous water column that
exceeds 65.6 ft

Pipes shall always be installed using fastening
supports to prevent tension is transmitted to the
pump body. Use care not to damage any part of the
pump as a result of excessive fastening of the pipes
when installing.
ASSEMBLY
ATTENTION
Follow carefully the following instructions to
gain the pump best performance and a long
service life. If you have any issue contact
your Truper Authorized Service Center.
OPERATION CONDITIONS
These pumps are designed to pump clean and neutral
liquids that have no abrasive solids suspended in
temperature not higher than 140 ºF for electric pumps
with drivers or plastic diffuser.
CHOKING
Fill up the pump completely with clean water before
turning it on. Remove the threaded cap from the
pump' upper part of the pump body and pour water
up to the orifice level. Screw the cap and start the
pump. This operation shall be carried out before
stating the pump for the first time, when it has not
been used for long periods of time or when air enters
into the system.
WARNING
Never operate the pump when empty. If this happens
accidentally, turn off the pump, wait for it to cool
down and choke using clean water.
