3. Electrical connections
The electrical connections should be carried out in
accordance with local regulations.
The operating voltage and frequency are marked on
the nameplate. Please make sure that the motor is
suitable for the electricity supply on which it will be
used.
Never make any connections in the pump
terminal box unless the electricity supply
has been switched off.
The pump must be connected to an exter-
nal mains switch.
Single-phase motors, 1 x 110/220 V, 60 Hz, do not
incorporate motor protection and must be connected
to an approved motor starter.
Other single-phase motors incorporate a thermal
overload switch and require no additional motor pro-
tection.
Three-phase motors must be connected to a motor
starter, the set nominal current of which must corre-
spond to the electrical data on the pump nameplate.
Do not start the pump until it has been filled with liq-
uid.
Connections should be made as shown on the inside
of the terminal box cover.
Choose one of the two cable entries and knock out
the pre-cut disk.
3.1 Checking of direction of rotation
(Three-phase motors)
Arrows on the motor fan cover indicate the correct di-
rection of rotation.
The pump should rotate counter-clockwise when
viewed from the motor end.
To reverse the direction of rotation, switch off the
electricity supply and interchange any two of the in-
coming supply wires.
4. Starting
4.1 Priming
Do not start the pump until it has been filled with liq-
uid and vented.
In systems with hot liquids, extreme cau-
tion should be exercised when venting the
pump to eliminate the risk of personal in-
jury caused by escaping water.
Booster systems and systems where the liquid
level on the suction side is above the pump inlet:
1. Close the isolating valves either side of the
pump.
2. Remove the priming plug P, fig. 4.
3. Slowly open the suction valve and keep it open
until a steady stream of liquid runs out the prim-
ing port.
4. Close the valve, replace the priming plug and
tighten securely.
5. Open the suction valve.
