Pump-set and may cause Injury. Any such actions will invalidate the warranty Impulse Yamuna pump is developed to pump clean to lightly polluted water with a maximum density of 1,05 g/cm³ and a temperature between 0 and 45 degrees Celsius. Typical applications are: - Horizontal drainage - Vertical or Vacuum dewatering with dewatering filters.
Use the pump unit only for those applications listed on the specification sheet for the pump unit. − It is not permitted to use the pump unit for any application and/or field of activity other than that for which the pump unit was originally specified and installed without written permission from Impulse.
It is not permitted to make changes to the pump unit without written permission from Impulse. If any changes are made to the pump without the written permission of Impulse, Impulse disclaims all liability. Hearing protection must be worn if the noise emission level exceeds 85 dB(A).

Label for the transport of hazardous materials (hazardous goods) in accordance with the safety standard for the transport of hazardous goods. The UN 1202 class 3 placard indicates the presence of gas oil, diesel fuel or light heating oil. Diesel is hazardous to the environment, with substantial remediation costs if it leaks into a drain, waterway or the ground.
Lifting instructions YAMUNA pump unit DANGER Never walk under a raised load. This can result in a life-threatening situation. WARNING Always disconnect all external connections before moving the pump unit. WARNING Neither the lifting eye on the engine nor the lifting eye of the (bare shaft) pump may be used for transport of the pump unit.
DANGER The standard lifting eyes on Impulse pump units, both in low-noise enclosure and open frame, are NOT designed to lift the additional weight of trailers or other components. It is strictly forbidden to use the standard lifting provision to lift or move the pump units with a higher total weight than stated in the specification sheets.
Note Impulse is not responsible for accidents and damage that result from failure to follow the guidelines in this manual. Such use results in forfeiture of the right to assert any warranty or damage compensation claims.
− Install the prescribed safeguard(s) in the correct manner. Outdoor use The Yamuna pump unit is suitable for outdoor use. In addition to the general instructions, the following additional requirements must be met: − Ensure that there is sufficient free space around the air intake so the engine is able to draw as much air as it needs.
Daily maintenance of the pump − Check the oil level of the engine and pump. Note If the oil in the pump drive has become whitish in color, replace the oil. The whitish color may indicate the presence of excessive condensation water in the oil. −...
Pump – general Preparation for starting the pump unit The Yamuna series pumps are self-priming piston pumps with rubber piston cups. Before starting use pump, the pump housing must be filled with water. To fill the pump housing with water 1.
Pump – general Type 1 Open the fuel tank cup and visually inspect fuel level if necessary fill up. 2 tips Turn on earth switch 1 and turn egnition switch 2 to posittion “ON”, read reading from fuel level gauge, if its low fill the fuel.
2. Check fuel level, open the fuel tank cup and visually inspect if fuel is in tank, fill up if necessary 3. Check fuel lines, for leakage 4. If applicable, the pump is now warmed up to an adequate temperature (whether it is necessary to warm up the pump depends on the pumped liquid and the ambient conditions) 5.
Stone catcher cleaning To clean stone catcher can be done by following steps: Open cover (1), remove all stones and debris. 2. Check conduction of rubber gasket. If it’s in bad conduction replace it. 3. Close cover (1) 4. Open panel (2)
7 Control panel (type1) 1. Hour counter 2. Selection switch 3. Oil pressure lamp 4. Battery charging lamp Note The hour counter indicates how long the pump has been in service. This hour reading is also important for determining when the pump unit requires maintenance Selection switch (type1) The selection switch has three positions: Pump unit is switched off (1)
7.1 Starting type (1) The pump must be at a standstill before starting. 1. Check the pump type (type plate) and the characteristics of the pump unit, such as: speed, operating pressure, consumed power, operating temperature, etc. 2. Check whether the pump unit is placed in accordance with the instructions. Pay particular attention to the area around the pump unit.
WARNING If vibration occurs during starting, stop the pump immediately and eliminate the cause before starting again. 11. Let the engine run for five minutes before the pump is connected to the dewatering system. 12. If the engine does not start, press and hold the red handle on the oil-pressure protection. Start the engine and release the handle once the engine is running.

4. Connect the lines. 5. If the pump is dry, the pump housing must first be filled with water. 6. Perform the daily maintenance. 7. Check whether there is sufficient fuel in the fuel tank. 8. Turn on earth switch (1) 9.
WARNING The pump must never pump against a closed shut-off valve! Otherwise there is a danger of explosion in the pump or the piping system. WARNING Dewatering activities will have an impact on the surrounding area in which water is being extracted from the ground. Settling of the ground occurs during groundwater extraction.

Vacuum control 1. To start the pump in vacuum control, press the [start vacuum control] button. Note Using a Hydrostatic pressure sensor gives a more accurate level regulation, as well as a better visualization. The sensor can be connected inside the canopy, and should be place in a level indication tube which level should be regulated.

2. Touch the visualisation to adjust the desired level. 3. Or enter a number in the [required vacuum] field. 4. Press [start vacuum control] to start the pump and let ECOMIZER-PRO control the water level to your preferences. 1. Check “Use level sensor” if you have connected and installed the hydrostatic pressure sensor. Enter the Sensor depth relative to the ground surface.
10. Monitoring during operation 1. During operation check the pump regularly for correct functioning, smooth and vibration-free running abnormal noises and leaks. 2. If the pump has pumped for a long time without having moved water, the pump housing must be filled with water, because the cups are dry after having run dry for a long time.
11. Draining the pump when there is danger of freezing WARNING If there is a danger of freezing, a pump used to pump a liquid that may freeze must be drained (while at a standstill). 1. Turn off the engine and open canopy draining ports (covers / plugs) (1) 2.
Page 36
WARNING Make sure that all the drained liquid is contained in a proper manner and disposed of in accordance with local regulations. Do not simply allow the water to drain onto the ground, as this could cause the ground to become slippery.
12. Troubleshooting table WARNING In the event of a malfunction or abnormal operation, shut off the pump immediately to prevent a dangerous situation and/or damage to the unit.
