Noise; Commissioning; Maintenance - Stuart Turner Supersub 460A Operating Instructions Manual

If an extension cord is necessary a cord of the proper type and rating must be used.
In general for 230 volt pumps on distances up to 40 metres (inclusive of original cord
length) the same specification cord as fitted to the pump can be used. For distances
above 40 metres a larger cord size may be required due to voltage drop and advice must
be obtained based upon installation details.
Any connectors or junction boxes must be specifically suited for outdoor use and
installed in accordance with manufacturers instructions.
Any cable routed underground must be protected to local standards.
Float Switch Cord Extension (applicable models only)
The float switch cord cannot be extended.

NOISE

The equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level at a distance of 1 metre
from the pumpset does not exceed 70 dB(A).

COMMISSIONING

WARNING:
The pump chamber must be full of water at all times. Damage will
result if pump runs dry.
1. The pump must be fully submerged before starting. Take care when submerging the
pump to ensure all air is purged from the casing. This is done by slowly submerging
the pump and gently agitating whilst doing so. This will enable any trapped air
pockets to be released.
2. Turn on the electrical supply and water movement should be immediately evident
from pump outlet. If it is not, repeat step 1.
For Further Technical Support
Note: When pumps are installed in OEM equipment, please contact the OEM
manufacturer for advice.
Phone the Stuart Turner support line on 01491 572655. Our staff are trained to help
and advise you over the phone.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING
Provision should be made for easy access to the pump to allow for regular
maintenance.
The integral inlet filter grille and any additional pre-filters should be checked periodically
and cleaned if required. It is important the filters are clean and free from debris which in
turn ensures the pump will always run at maximum efficiency. A blocked filter can cause
damage to the pump.
The pump must be cleaned as follows:-
The water in and around the pump must not be allowed to freeze.
This will result in pump damage.
