• if the inlet filter is being used remove the brass plug on the top of it and fill with water.
• turn the pump on and check for leaks. Water should begin to flow, if it fails to, check that the inlet pipe is secure and that the pump body has been
properly primed.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4.1.
Open all valves in the pipes.
4.2.
Connect the power and switch pump on.
4.3.
Wait for the pump to prime.
4.4.
If the motor does not start or deliver water refer to Section 6. Troubleshooting.
Note: to speed up the priming fill the suction pipe with water, it is recommended that a non-return valve is fitted to the end of the inlet pipe.
4.5.
If debris has entered and blocked the pump the end housing can be removed for access, by unscrewing the four hex headed screws marked 'A' on fig.3.
4.6.
Stop the pump by switching it off.
4.7.
If there is a danger of freezing drain water from the pump. If it has been used with dirty, contaminated or salty water, flush it through with clean water.
Note: contaminated water is water containing small solids in suspension NOT slurry, sludge, sand or mud.
5. MAINTENANCE
5.1.
Filter Cleaning
The inlet filter will need regular cleaning after use. The filter bowl will need to be unscrewed and the element washed out with soap and water.
5.2.
Cleaning
Regularly inspect the pump to make sure that it is not blocked. If it is suspected that it is blocked disconnect it from the mains and back flush it.
Keep the pump clean and visually inspect it for damage to fixings and cables etc. If the pump has been used in conditions that have led to internal
contamination or damage remove the end housing (refer to 4.5) and inspect the impeller for damage.
5.3.
Storage
Store in a dry, frost free, childproof environment.
