Installation (Fig. 2.)

Garden pumps are recommended for small-scale
agriculture in gardens and for gardening, emergency
situations in households, and for use in hobbies. The
compact form along with easy handling means they
can also be used in special applications as portable
pumps for emergency situations, such as pumping
water from tanks.
The pump must be installed in a place protected against bad weather and temperatures exceeding 40 °C.
We recommend to fi rmly install the pump. The holes in legs enable to correct the fi rm base with bolts (the
bolts are not included in the package), see Fig. 2.
Prevent the piping from transferring excessive stress on top the input and output holes (point 3 and 5, Fig. 1),
to prevent deformation or cracks.
It is recommended to position the pump nearest to the pumped liquid; the pump must only be installed in
a horizontal position.
The piping must not have a smaller diameter than the diameter of the suction neck on the pump. For suction
depths over four metres or with long horizontal sections, it is recommended to use a suction hose with
a larger diameter than the suction hole for the pump.
A slight declination of the suction hose in the upward direction of the pump will prevent the creation of air
pockets. Fig. 2.
If the suction piping is from rubber or a fl exible material, always check that it is has been reinforced and is
resistant to vacuums to prevent narrowing due to suction.
In the case of a fi rm installation, it is recommended to mount the stop valve on the side of the suction and on
the side of the delivery. This enables to close the circuit on the input and/or on the output of the pump, which
is useful when carrying out maintenance and cleaning or for a period when the pump is not used.
When using in water with small dirt with small dimensions, it is recommended to use the fi lter on the input of
the pump mounted on the suction tube.
Do not make a large number of starts per hour. Do not exceed 20 starts/hour.
