Commissioning - Stuart Turner Stuart Installation, Operation & Maintenance Instructions Manual

3.21 Fuses: A 5 Amp fuse size should be used with the appropriate pump.
3.22 Supply Cord Extension: The pumps are fitted with a supply cord suitable for
outdoor and underwater use. The cord specification is as follows:-
Pump Type
All Models
If an extension cord is necessary a cord of the proper type and rating must be
used.
In general for 230 volt pumps on distances up to 40 metres (inclusive of
original cord length) the same specification cord as fitted to the pump can
be used. For distances above 40 metres a larger cord size may be required
due to voltage drop and advice must be obtained based upon installation
details.
Any connectors or junction boxes must be specifically suited for outdoor use
and installed in accordance with manufacturers instructions.
Any cable routed underground must be protected to local standards.

4 COMMISSIONING

4.11 The pump chamber must be full of water at all times. Damage will result if
pump runs dry.
4.12 The pump must be submerged before starting. Take care when submerging
the pump to ensure all air is purged from the casing. This is done by slowly
submerging the pump and gently agitating whilst doing so. This will enable
any trapped air pockets to be released.
4.13 Turn on the electrical supply and water movement should be immediately
evident from pump outlet. If it is not, repeat step 4.12.
