7. SETUP - INSTALLATION

Make sure that the connections are properly sealed by tightening all the way in.
Connect suction and discharge hose to the pump. Use clamps to fi x the hose to the connections.
CAUTION: Do not replace original connections (supplied) for other ones of different material to avoid
damage to the pump housing.

Suction hose

The hose must be fi rm and incompressible (such
as spring reinforced)
The hose must be equipped with a suction
strainer with a non-return valve. The strainer
must be properly fi xed with a clamp (fi g.4). This
will prevent the hose from aeration and foreign
particles from penetrating into the pump impeller.

Filling

Place the pump as close to water as possible.
Install the pump correctly (fi g. 5).
Fill the pump fully with water through the inlet orifi ce (fi g.6, point 1).
CAUTION: If the pump does not operate immediately or after
more than 4 minutes, the likely cause is in partial fi lling of the
suction hose or air intake. Recheck the condition of all sealings
and tightening of connections. Refi ll the pump completely using the
fi lling opening (fi g.6, point 1). To set the fl ow rate value (from min.
to max.), use the carburettor throttle trigger (fi g.6, point 2).
ATTENTION! Never start the pump without water. This could lead
to serious damage to the engine parts, rendering the warranty void
immediately.
ATTENTION! Don't exceed the maximum suction depth of 7m.
