1. SAFETY MEASURES

Before starting the pump, read this instruction booklet carefully and keep it in a safe place for
future reference
For safety reasons, the pump must not be used by anyone who has not read these instructions.

The power cord must never be used to carry or move the pump. Always use the pump’s handle.

When handling the pump, while it is connected to the electric power supply, you should avoid
all contact with water.

Never remove the plug by pulling on the power cord.

Before taking any action on the pump, always remove the plug from the power socket.

If the power supply cord has been damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or his
authorized customer support service

in order to avoid all risks.

Overload protection. The pump has a thermal overload safety device. In the event of any
overheating of the motor, this device automatically switches off the pump. The cooling time is
roughly 15 to 20 minutes, then the pump automatically comes on again. If the overload cut-out is
tripped, it is essential to identify and deal with the cause of the overheating. See
Troubleshooting.

2. USE OF THE VARIOUS TYPES OF PUMPS

2.1 Self priming multi-impeller surface pumps

GB

The temperature of the fluid being pumped must never exceed 35° C.

The pump must not be used to pump salt water, sewage, flammable, corrosive or explosive
liquids (e.g. petroleum oil, petrol, and thinners), grease, oils or foodstuffs.

Comply with the rules and regulations of the local water authority when using the pump for the
supply of domestic water.

3. STARTING THE PUMP

Given the different provisions applicable to the safety of electric systems in different countries,
make sure that the pump system, as concerns its intended use, is in accordance with current
legislation.

Before starting the pump, make sure that:

xthe voltage and frequency specified on the pump’s nameplate coincide with those of the

available power supply;

xthere are no signs of damage to the pump or its power cord;

xthe electric connection is made in a dry place, protected against any risk of flooding;

xthe electric system is complete with a residual current circuit-breaker (I ¨n  30 mA) and an

efficient earthing connection;

xAny extension cords must comply with the requirements for electric safety.

Fill the pump casing and suction hose with clean water before starting the pump for the first
time. If the pump is installed above the water level, filling must be performed slowly until the
water overflows; wait a few seconds to make sure that all the air has escaped and top up until
the level has stabilised.
If the pump is installed below the water level (below head), bleed the air from the pump casing
by opening the filler cap. The pump will fill with water independently.
Plug the pump into the socket, start the pump and wait for the water to exit. If water has not
exited within 2-3 minutes from when the pump was switched on, turn the pump off and repeat
the filling operation again.

Attaching the suction hose

xFit the suction hose from the water source to the pump making sure that the pump is above the

water level. Do not position the suction hose above the level of the pump (to avoid air bubbles forming in

the suction hose).

xThe suction hose should be mounted in such a way that it does not create any mechanical stress on the

pump.

xThe foot valve should be placed at least 30 cm below the minimum water level.

xThe pump will draw water only when the suction hose is completely filled with water.

xThe suction hose and the pump’s suction inlet should be of the same diameter.

Attaching the delivery hose

xTo get the best performance from the pump, it is recommended that the diameter of the delivery hose

is at least 1”

xDuring the self-priming phase, all taps, valves, etc. on the delivery hose must be fully open in

order to allow the air inside the hose to escape.

Before plugging in and starting the pump for the first time, it is necessary that the suction hose and the pump
are completely filled with water in order for suction to take place. For use in wells or when the water level is
lower than the pump, a suction hose must be used that is equipped with the foot valve. This will allow the
suction hose to remain filled with water after the first time that it is filled and will prevent the emptying of the
hose when the pump shuts off automatically, avoiding any problems when restarting.

GB

fBooster with integrated electronics

Installation

The pump’s inlet pressure should not exceed 2 Bars.

The maximum suction depth should be less than 8m.

The device will not pump liquid if the tap is more than 15m the level of the pump.

Due to the non-return valve in this model, the suction hose cannot be filled through the filler cap
on the pump.

Using of the pump

Plug the electric cable into the socket. The pump will automatically begin to run.

If the suction phase is not activated within 120 seconds, the pump will shut-off automatically. The pump will
then try 2 more attempts to self prime for 120 seconds each.

The electric pump is equipped with an integrated electronic device that allows the unit to automatically
intervene in the following ways:

x

Automatic operation of the pump

The pump automatically starts when a tap is opened and shuts-off approximately 10 seconds after it is
closed.

x

Dry- Run Protection

If the pump senses that it is not drawing any water, it will automatically switch-off after approx. 45 seconds.
The red “Alarm” LED on the electronic display will begin to flash. After having restored the flow of water to the
pump, press the RESET pad to restart the pump.
If the alarm persists, or rather the user does not re-establish the flow of water and reset the pump, the
automatic reset will attempt to restart the pump after 1 hour, 5 hours and 20 hours, and then once every 24
hours. The electronic display continues to signal the lack of water from the first intervention of the dry run
protection up until the pump starts to operate correctly: flashing red LED with one flash and one pause. After
having re-established the flow of water, press the RESET button to restart the pump.

x

4. RECOMMENDATIONS

To ensure the proper operation of the pump, it is important to comply with the following recommendations:

The pump should not operate with the delivery tap completely closed (except for electronically
controlled pumps).

The pump must never be allowed to run dry.

x The diameter of the suction and delivery hoses must not be less than the relative inlet or outlet (25 mm)

of the pump. A hose with a greater diameter should ideally be fitted to the suction inlet when the suction
height exceeds 4 meters. Do not use metal connectors on the pump’s threads.

x Connect the suction hose including a foot valve avoiding counterslopes, traps, goosenecks and kinks in

the hose.

x Place the pump in a level, stable and dry place, and away from inflammable or explosive substances.

Never expose the pump to the rain or direct jets of water.

x Make sure that the mains power connections are not subjectable to flooding, avoid that the pump is

exposed to direct jets of water and do not immerse the pump in water.

remove the pump from the liquid, empty it and keep it in a place where it cannot freeze.
The pump must be disconnected from the mains before performing any cleaning operation.
The pump is maintenance free.

5. TROUBLESHOOTING

Before taking any troubleshooting action, disconnect the pump from the power supply.
If there is any damage to the power cord or pump, any necessary repairs or replacements must
be handled by the manufacturer or his authorized customer support service, or by an equally­qualified party, in order to prevent all risks.
