fig.1

Connect a hose (d) to the outlet fitting (1) and

fasten it with a clamp or wire (a).

•

Only flexible hoses made of rubber or plastic and

having internal diameter of 18mm (VP-300; VP-600)

and 22mm (VP-280) are to be used for connecting

to the pump.

•

Using hoses of the lesser diameters will impose

an additional load for the pump.

•

Using hoses of the greater diameters will not

affect operation of the pump.

•

In case flexible hoses are not readily available,

use of steel or plastic pipes is admissible. Connecting

the pump to the piping must only be carried out

through a flexible hose at least 2 meters long .

2. Fasten a rope (b) to the pump through the two

carrying holes (2). The rope-fixing knot must be

positioned no closer than 10 cm from the pump

f. Crossbar *

g. Protection ring *

* Not included parts

bucket inlets to avoid it being sucked into the pump.

The rope ends must be sealed by burning (Caprone

rope it is suggested).

•

To extend a rope (b), a similar rope of at least

5-meter long must be used which ought to be strong

enough to hold a fivefold weight of the pump and

the water-filled hose .

•

You may also use a steel wire cable or steel wire

and connect them only through a minimum 5-meter

caprone rope fixed to the pump. Fastening a wire

or steel wire cable directly to the carrying holes (2)

will result in their immediate breaking-off. If you

need to place a pump in shallow pits or wells, with

a rope length less than 5 meters, the rope must be

fastened to the crossbar (f ) via a spring suspender

(e) because the pump should be let to vibrate freely.

A rigid fixing will eventually lead to the pump

breakdown . To make a spring suspender you may

make use of soft rubber bands which can withstand

the adequate load.

3. The power cord (6) and caprone rope (b) must be

tied together in bunch with an adhesive insulation

tape or any other means (c) (excluding wire) at

the intervals of 1 - 2 meters. The first fixing point

pump body.

4 . When you switch off a pump installed in a well or

pit , where the distance up to the water level is less

than 5 meters, the water freely drains from the hose

(d) by gravity.

•

At greater depths, under a pressure from

the water column, the pump's flap shuts off the

inlets and the water would not drain and this may

possibly result in water freezing inside the hose in

wintertime.

•

If there is no possibility to protect the hose from

winter frost, then to ensure water draining from

the hose in winter you need to make a 1,5 - 2 mm

diameter hole in the hose near outlet fitting (1).

5. Plunge the pump into the water making sure the

power cord (6) is not getting tight and then fasten

the rope (b) over the crossbar (f ) or other holding

device.
