I. INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
It is important that all submersible pumps be installed by expe-
rienced persons and that all electrical connections comply with
the relevant electrical supply authority requirements.
The electrical connections and checks must
be made by a qualified electrician and
comply with applicable local standards.
These instructions are provided for guidance only, and assume
a familiarity with submersible pump installation and commis-
sioning procedures.
II. IMPORTANT!!!
The MINI-SUB is designed to pump effluent from a cistern. If
the fluid from the cistern or any plumbing system freezes, the
pump will be severely damaged.
The MINI-SUB is suitable to pump effluents that don´t contain
dissolved gases.
All the components which come into contact with water are
suitable to be used with drinking water.
The pump cannot be used for inflammable,
explosive or dangerous liquids.
III. INSPECT THE EQUIPMENT
Before going on the job, open all packages and check all equip-
ment to be certain everything is included and that no parts have
been damaged during shipment. The pump should be checked
for visible damage and nameplate inspected to be sure they are
the correct voltage and phase.
Ensure the motor voltage and phase
matches the supply voltages & phase.

1. Safety Cable
Do not use the electric cable to lower, lift or transport the pump.
As a precautionary measure, a safety line should be connected
to all pumps regardless of the type of drop pipe used. This line
should be fastened to the pump and at the top of the cistern.
2. Depth of Installation
Install the pump at least 8" from the bottom of the cistern to
avoid pumping sand, mud, etc.
Special feature of the MINI-SUB is that its body height is only
22" and it allows use of these pumps in cisterns with low water
depth.
It is advisable to install an automatic level controls to prevent
the electric pump from running dry and a pressure gauge to
verify its performance during operation.
