IMPORTANT NOTES
Please read these instructions fully before starting the
installation:
The installation must comply with the relevant water supply,
electrical and building regulations and be installed by a
competent person.
If in doubt, consult Stuart Turner Ltd.
APPLICATION
The Pressure Control range is designed for pressure boosting applications in vented
stored hot or cold, clean fresh water systems, where under gravity, no flow is available.
Other clean non aggressive, non explosive liquids with similar characteristics to water may
be pumped, consult Stuart Turner for such applications.
WARNING AGAINST MISUSE
This pump set must not be used for any other application without the
written consent of Stuart Turner Limited and, in particular, must not be
connected directly to the mains water supply or used outside the
conditions specified in the limits of application.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
This product should not be used for the supply of water to more than
one dwelling (house, apartment, flat).

PRE-INSTALLATION ASSEMBLY
Pressure Check and Assembly of Pressure Vessel
a) Certain models are supplied in two parts, the main pump and the pressure vessel.
The pressure vessel is pre-charged with air at the factory (see table below). This
pressure should be checked at the Schrader valve (Fig. 4) using a tyre pressure
gauge and adjusted if necessary using a car or bicycle pump prior to installation.
b) To assemble the vessel (when applicable), remove protective plastic cap from fitting
point. Ensure that the ‘O’-ring is present and correctly fitted in the location groove at
the bottom of the fitting point. Screw the pressure vessel clockwise into the fitting
point until hand tight to achieve a water tight connection.
NOTE: Do not over tighten pressure vessel.
