4.1. general care instructions

4.1.1. Keep the pump clean and well maintained.

8 Do not use the pump if any part of it is damaged. Have it inspected by your local sealey dealer.
8 Do not run the pump dry. Make sure that the pump is already lled or ready to be lled with water, before use.
8 Do not overtighten the ller plugs as this will damage its threads.

4.1.2. make sure the pump securely anchored, through the holes in its feet, in a horizontal position.

4.1.3. the pump is designed to pump water only, Do not use it to pump ammable or corrosive liquids.

4.1.4. make sure that a strainer is always connected to the inlet hose to prevent debris from being drawn up and into the pump causing

damage.

4.2. preparation for use

 warning! Do not connect the pump to the mains electrical supply until all hose installation is completed.

Connect a male inlet connector into the pump and hand tighten (g.1). Ensure that the direction of ow arrow is pointing to the pump.
Screw a non return valve (not supplied) to an inlet lter (not supplied), make sure it is correctly orientated, with the spring loaded valve

able to pass water into the lter. (Sealey recommend Water Pump Filter part no. WPF1 for use with these pumps). Make sure the bowl

of the lter is hanging down.

8 Do not over tighten any of the connections.

4.2.1. Positioning the pump (Refer to g.1)

• Check hoses for damage, they must be protected and supported as they are considerably heavier when lled with water.

• The pump must always be operated in a horizontal position with the outlet port pointing vertically upwards.

• Use the xing holes in the feet to anchor the pump in its operating position.

• Make sure there is good air circulation around the pump motor.

• The pump must not become soaked with water, neither the motor or the terminal box are waterproof.

• Place the pump as close to the water source as possible.

• Make sure there is adequate drainage for the water that is discharged.

4.2.2. pipe connections:

• use as large a diameter inlet pipe as practical, otherwise the performance of the pump will be affected.

• a gate valve may be positioned on the outlet side of the pump. This can be used to regulate the ow of water, and be useful in

priming the pump.
