1 DELIVERY AND STORAGE
11 Delivery
These submersible pumps are supplied in their own
original packing in which they should remain until
installation.
Avoid the pump to be bent when it is not packed, since
this may cause the misalignment and the damage of the
pump itself.
The loose data plate supplied with the pump should be
xed close to the electric control equipment.
The pump shall not be exposed to unnecessary impacts
and crashes.
12 Storage and Handling
Storage Temperature:
Pump: from -20°C to +60°C
The pump should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
If the pump has not been packed, it shall be stored
horizontally, adequately supported, or vertically, to
prevent the misalignment of the pump. During storage,
the pump can be supported as shown in Fig. 1.

If the pump is not used in vertical position, both the pump
side and the motor side must be supported. Note that the
centre of gravity will vary according to the pump type.
2 GENERAL DATA
21 General description
The submersible pumps are multistage pumps working
with counterclockwise rotation direction (observing from
the delivery side) directly coupled to special submersible
motors (according to NEMA standards).

The pump is suitable for both vertical and horizontal
installation, however, the pump should never be installed
inclined downwards, see Fig. 2.
Note: During operation, the suction support must always
be completely submerged.
00114017 06/2010
In special conditions, it may be necessary to submerge
the pump even deeper, depending on the operation
conditions of the pump, as well as on temperature and
NPSH values.
22 Applications
These submersible pumps are designed for a wide range
of applications, such as the supply of water to private
homes, water systems and industries.
These pumps are necessary in case of lowering of the
groundwater level, as well as for pressure increase.
Submerge the pump completely under the water level
both if it is installed horizontally and vertically. See
paragraph 3.1 Positioning Limits.
23 Pumped liquids
Pumped liquids must be clean, compatible with pump
components and materials, without solid particles or
bres.
The maximum sand content in the water must not exceed
50 g/m³. A greater sand content in the water reduces the
service life of the pump and increases the risk of blocking.
When pumping liquids with a density higher than that of
water, motors with correspondingly higher outputs must
be used.
3 INSTALLATION / PREPARATION
31 Positioning limits
If the pump has to be installed in a position
where it is accessible to people, any possibility
m
of contact with the coupling must be avoided.
The pump might for instance be equipped with a
protective shield.
Fig. 2
32 Diameter of Pump/Motor
Check in the technical catalog the maximum diameter of
the pump and the pump with motor.
Verify the borehole with an inside calliper to ensure
unobstructed passage.
33 Check valve on the delivering piping
The pump is equipped with an embedded check valve
in the delivery opening. However, it is recommended,
especially if the pump directly feeds a distribution network
subject to pressure, to install another check valve on
the delivery piping at no more than 10 meters from the
minimum well level. (If this latter is not known, use the
delivery opening as minimum level).
Its presence reduces hydraulic shocks due to starts and
stops.
4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before starting to work on the pump, make sure
that the power supply has been disabled and
m
that it cannot be accidentally switched on.
41 General remarks
The electrical connections should be carried out by an
authorised electrician according to the regulations in
00114018 06/2010

force.
Supply voltage, current and cos φ are quoted on the
motor plate that has to be kept within the electrical panel.
The motor must be earthed and connected to
the electric panel.

4.2 Verication of Rotation Direction
When the pump has been connected to the power supply,
establish the current direction of rotation as follows:
1. Start the pump and control the head provided with
gate valve not fully closed.
2. Stop the pump and interchange two of the phase
connections.
3. Start the pump and repeat step 1. with the gate valve
in the same position.
4. Stop the pump.
Compare the results obtained after performing steps 1
and 3. The correct connection is the one that gives the
highest head.
Note: The pump must not be started until the suction
support has been completely submerged.
5 PUMP INSTALLATION
Before starting any work on the pump or on the
motor, make sure that the power supply has
m
been disabled and that it cannot be accidentally
switched on.
51 Assembling of the pump with the motor
Place the pump on the motor in order that they are
positioned along the same axis and insert the motor shaft
in the pump shaft joint: the coupling must not be forced.
Tighten the screws or the nuts that diagonally x the
pump-motor anges with a driving torque as quoted in
the following table.
Motor typeScrew
Motor 4"M818
Motor 6"M12100
Motor 8"M16200
52 Delivery piping
If the pump is already coupled to the delivery piping and
you use a chain pipe wrench, tighten the pump, holding it
only by the delivery opening.
The threaded pipes must be connected in such a way as
to support the unscrewing action due to the starting and
stopping of the pump.
The thread of the pipe, which has to be screwed into the
pump, should not be longer than the thread of the pump.
After screwing the pipe into the delivery opening, tighten
the screw assembled to avoid the loosening of the rst
section of the pipe, see Fig. 3.
When plastic pipes are used, the pump should be
secured by an unloaded rope to be fastened to the
Driving torque

delivery opening, see Fig. 3.

5.3 Cable tting
Use cable clips every 3 meters to x the cable to the
support rope or to the delivery pipe.
Use plastic cable clips as shown in Fig. 4.
Once the cable has been fastened, cut off the remaining
part of the clip.
3mt
00114019 06/2010
Fig. 4
In the case that the tube is plastic, it must leave the
electric cable and the cable support not in tension to
prevent the elongation of the tube, due to the weight of
the water contained in it, tearing the electric cable.

When anged pipes are used, the cable clips must be
positioned before and after each ange.
54 Lowering of the pump
Verify that the well is not clogged along its total length.
Lower the pump into the well, paying attention not to
damage the electric cable.
Note: Do not lower the pump by means of the electric
cable.
55 Installation depth
The dynamic water level must always be above the
suction support of the pump, see paragraph 3.1 Positioning Limits and Fig. 5.
The minimum safety margin shall be 1 meter.

clean again, since otherwise the pump parts and the nonreturn valve may be damaged.
If the pump ow rate is higher than that of the well,
the use of a protection device against dry operation is
recommended.
Without any protection against dry operation, the water
level falls under the suction support and the pump sucks
air. In the long term, this causes damages due to poor
cooling and lubrication.
7 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
The pumps are maintenance-free.
All pumps are easy to service.
Use the Service Kits and the special tools for maintenance.
The Service Manual is available upon request.
Before performing any operation on the pump
or on the motor, verify that the power supply
m
is disabled and that it cannot accidentally be
enabled again.
8 DISPOSAL
This product or parts of it must be disposed using the
local public or private waste collection service.
Lb: Static water level
Lc: Dynamic water level
Ld: Difference between static and dynamic level
Lt: Installation depth
Block the delivery pipe with proper hangers on the well
head.
Loosen the support rope and x it to the groundwork.
6 START-UP
When the pump has been installed and submerged, it can
be started with the gate valve closed to 1/3.
Check the direction of rotation as described in section 4.2 Verication of Rotation Direction.
If there are impurities in the water, the gate valve should
be opened gradually until the water becomes clearer. The
pump should not be stopped until the water is completely
