5 TECHNICAL INFORMATION
5.1
Intended use
The appliance is designed to pump clean water from wells or rainwater
cisterns for gardening or for use in household water supply systems;
these appliances may not be used for pumping drinking water.
Dirt, sand and sediments are abrasive and damage the impeller.
Fit suitable filters to trap these particles upstream of the pump.
Chemically aggressive substances in the pumped liquid damage the
appliance.
The minimum permitted hourly flow rate is 80 l/h (1.3 l/min).
These appliances are not suitable for drip irrigation systems, since the
water flow rate is too low, meaning that the pumped liquid is unable to
cool the appliance as required.
The appliance must be installed in a dry, well ventilated place,
protected from frost and weather, with an ambient temperature not
exceeding 35°C. It must never be installed or used in the rain, in damp
locations or in wells.
The appliance conforms to the EN 60335-2-41 European standard.
5.2
Improper use
Use by unskilled persons or those who have not read and understood
the instructions in the manual is forbidden.
Supplying the appliance with flammable, explosive, toxic or chemically
aggressive liquids is forbidden.
Use of the appliance in a potentially flammable or explosive
atmosphere is forbidden.
All modifications to the appliance are prohibited. Any modifications
made to the appliance render the warranty null and void and relieve the
manufacturer of all liability under civil and criminal law.
Grinding and polishing substances, or other substances which
attack materials, damage the appliance. These appliances are
not suitable for pumped liquids containing abrasive sand, mud or
clay. These appliances are suitable for pumping water for sanitary
purposes, but not for pumping drinking water!
Faecal substances may not be pumped with these appliances.

6 INSTALLATION
Warning - danger!
All installation and assembly operations must be performed with the appliance
disconnected from the mains power supply (fig. 3).
Warning - danger!
Before use, always perform a visual check on the appliance, and especially
the plug (A12) and power cable (A8), for damage. A damaged appliance must
not be used; in the event of damage, have the appliance inspected by the
Service Centre or an authorised electrician.
Warning - danger!
If the power cable (A8) is cut, the warranty becomes null and void and a
replacement genuine power cable (A8) must be installed during the repair,
at the customer's expense (even in case of repair under warranty). If it is
necessary to extend the power cable (A8), only use an extension with gauge
at least equal to that of the original power cable (A8). Never lift the appliance
or remove the plug (A12) from the socket by means of the power cable (A8).
6.1
Assembling the appliance
Before the appliance is put into operation, the suction and delivery
hoses must be connected. Place the appliance in a stable position on
a flat surface, in a location protected from flooding (fig. 4).
To prevent the transmission of vibrations to the pipes or walls, place
the appliance on a rubber mat and use lengths of hose (which must
be resistant to suction and pressure) immediately upstream and
downstream of the appliance (fig. 5) to dampen the vibrations.
6.2
Fitting the suction hose
Warning - danger!
If your device does not have an integral pre-filter, a check valve must be
installed between the suction hose and the suction fitting (A1): this valve
ensures that the suction hose is not pressurised, which could cause leaks
or bursts.
The suction hose conveys the water from the suction point to the
appliance. Connect the suction hose to the threaded fitting (A1).
Check that the suction hose fitted is airtight, since any leaks may
reduce the appliance's flow rate or completely prevent it from drawing
in water. The suction hose must be at least 25 mm (1") in diameter and
must be resistant to crushing and vacuums.
