Trouble Shooting continued...

6. Pump Not Switching Off or Taking Too Long to Switch Off

May be caused by one or more of the following:­ a) Voltage supply too low;

b) Blocked jet or venturi;
c) Leak in discharge pipe or tting, taps etc.;
d) Worn or blocked pump components, impeller, casing etc.;

e) Drop in water level in water supply source.

Appropriate details for all of these items are contained in the following Installation

and Operating Instructions. Read these in their entirety before switching on
this pump. If you are uncertain as to any of these Installation and Operating

Instructions please contact your Davey dealer or the appropriate Davey ofce as
listed on the back of this document.

Summary of Installation Procedure

For Automatic Operation as a Pressure System with Supercell Pressure Tank

1. Securely bolt pump to wooden, metal or concrete
base, adjacent to bore, as shown in illustration, to
allow suction pipework to be installed directly down
bore. Alternatively, for offset installations, when
pump is not directly adjacent to bore, pump may be
positioned on a rm base without securing.

2. For base mounted tanks place tank next to pump and
connect tank hose to bottom connection of pressure
regulating valve, after removing cap. If using the
Davey Tank connection kit you need only tighten by

hand (no sealant required). Use of pipe wrench is not
required and should be avoided.

For top mounted tanks a Davey three way tee piece is
required (P/No 48638). This is tted to the priming hole,
and the tank is screwed into the top of the tee.

*NOTE: For protection, the Davey pump motors are tted with an automatic reset

thermal overload, constant tripping of this overload indicates a problem e.g. low
voltage at pump, excessive temperature (above 50°C) in pump enclosure.

WARNING: Automatic reset thermal overloads will allow the pump to restart without
warning. Always disconnect the pump motor from the electrical supply before
maintenance or repairs.

WARNING: When servicing or attending pump, always ensure power is switched off and

lead unplugged. Electrical connections should be serviced only by qualied persons.

Care should also be taken when servicing or disassembling pump to avoid possible
injury from hot pressurised water. Unplug pump, relieve pressure by opening a tap on
the discharge side of the pump and allow any hot water in the pump to cool before
attempting to dismantle.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE petroleum based uids or solvents (e.g. Oils, Kerosene,

Turpentine, Thinners, etc) on the plastic pump components or seal components.

WARNING: Do not use hydrocarbon based or hydrocarbon propelled sprays around the
electrical components of this pump.

In accordance with AS 3350.2.41 we are obliged to inform you that this pump is not to

be used by children or inrm persons and must not be used as a toy by children.

3. Fit a gate valve to the 11/4” BSP outlet at the pressure
regulating valve.

4. Prepare injector, connecting lengths of polythene

pipe of the correct size to the venturi tube and

injector body.
