USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
DANGER
This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years or over and by persons with limited
physical, sensory or intellectual capabilities, or with limited experience and knowledge,
provided that they are supervised or have been instructed in the safe use of the appliance
and are aware of the dangers involved. Children must not be allowed to play with the
appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children unless
they are supervised
Use a suction pump (2) with a diameter equivalent to that of the suction mouth of the electropump (1).
If the height (HA) is over 4 meters use a tube with a larger diameter. The suction line should be perfectly airtight.
No elbows and/or slopes should be present to prevent the formation of air locks that could affect the electropump
efficiency. A foot valve (3) with filter (4) should be fitted at about half a metre below the fluid that has to be pumped
(HI) on one end of the line. Load losses can be reduced using delivery piping with a diameter equivalent or greater
than the electropump mouth (5). It is advisable to install a check valve (6) directly on the delivery line to prevent the
electropump being damaged by "water hammer". A cut-off valve (7) should also be installed downstream from the
check valve, to facilitate maintenance operations. Piping should be fitted so that vibrations, when existing, tension
and weight do not affect the pump. Piping should be routed along the shortest and straighter track, avoiding an
excessive number of bends. Verify that the motor is properly ventilated. For permanent installations, it is advisable
to fix the electropump to the supporting base, connect the system with a section of non flexible pipe and insert a
layer of rubber (or another anti-vibration material) between the supporting base and the pump, in order to reduce
vibrations.
The place of installation must be steady and dry to ensure proper and uninterrupted operation of the booster set
ATTENTION!
Connection, suction and delivery pipes should be connected with the utmost care. Make sure that all connections
fixed by means of screws are sealed. Avoid applying excessive stress to tighten the screws of connections or of
other components. Use a Teflon tape to completely seal all joints. For continued use near garden ponds or the like,
the system must be secured to a steady support, to prevent dropping, and protected against flooding.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING
Verify that the voltage and frequency of the electropump shown on the nameplate correspond to those
available on the mains.
DANGER - ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK
The installer must make sure that the electric system is grounded in accordance with the law in force.
DANGER - ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK
Make sure that the electric system has a high-sensitivity circuit breaker Δ=30 mA (DIN VDE
0100T739).
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
GARDEN PUMPS PENTAIR FLOTEC have a built-in thermal protection switch. The pump stops if an overload condi-
tion occurs. The motor restarts automatically after it has cooled down (see point 3 of the Troubleshooting section
for information on causes and corrective actions).
Electrical extension cables must have a minimum section of H07 RN-F. The plug and connections should be pro-
tected by water splashes. Contact a specialised electrician.
