STARTING THE UNIT (SEE FIG. 1)
WARNING
Use the electropump for the applications listed on the nameplate.
WARNING
Do not operate the pump dry, since lack of water could cause it to overheat. In this case, the water inside the system gets
very hot, so there is a risk of scalding. Take off the plug and let the system cool down.
WARNING
Do not run the electropump with a completely closed delivery.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR A SAFE PUMP START

• Protect the pump from rain, making
sure that there are no leaking fittings
over the pump

environments
DANGER - ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK
