INSTALLATION
The pump may be gravity or suction fed. Gravity feed is the preferred arrangement as this will place less strain on the long term operation of the pump.
Depending on the installation, various plumbing accessories will be required. Determine requirements and if necessary contact your local Sealey dealer
for advice on obtaining appropriate items.
3.1.
PUMP
Locate pump in a suitable area, ensuring that there is good air circulation. Externally the pump is
not designed to be totally waterproof so protect from possible wet situations. Bolt the pump to a
flat horizontal surface with the outlet pipe (fig. 1) pointing vertically upwards.
To minimise the load on the pump motor (i.e. reduced flow = less load on motor), the point of
discharge (water outlet) must be at a vertical (upright) minimum distance of 1.5m. If this is not
possible a restriction valve must be installed to the outlet pipe (fig. 1). This valve will regulate
and reduce the pump flow thus decreasing the motor load. Ensure all pipes are adequately supported.
3.2.
GRAVITY FEED (preferred arrangement when feed water level is above the pump inlet)
Fit an isolation valve to gravity feed pipe. Valve is used to turn water off and to restrict the flow if required.
3.3.
SUCTION FEED (when the feed water level is lower than the pump inlet)
The vertical distance between the feed water and the pump inlet must not exceed 4.5m. Connect
a 1” filter valve to the feed pipe inlet (fig. 1) to ensure water will be retained in pump system.
Connect other end to pump inlet. It should not be necessary to control flow by use of the outlet
regulator valve which should be fully open.
NOTE: With both gravity and suction feed ensure:
1. that the supply inlet pipe is the same height as the pump inlet or lower.
2. that, if connecting to a drinking water supply, the water authority regulations are adhered to.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
F
WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply Section 1 safety instructions.
4.1.
Check inlet water pipe is turned on or that inlet suction feed is placed in the water supply to a depth of at least 30mm.
p
4.2.
If using gravity feed, check and set the outlet restrictor valve as necessary.
4.3.
To run the pump, plug into the electrical mains supply and press the switch located on the side of the pump to ‘I’.
4.4.
If necessary, prime the pump via location ‘X’ (fig. 1).
4.5.
If, for any reason, the motor should overheat a thermal circuit breaker will automatically activate and stop the pump. If this happens, switch the mains
power off and unplug. Check reason for overheating and remedy the problem. If the pump is not switched off, the motor will cool for 5 - 20 minutes, after
which it will automatically re-start.
5.
MAINTENANCE
F
WARNING! Apart from the exceptions listed below, mechanical and electrical service, maintenance and repair must only be undertaken by an
authorised service agent. Failure to observe this rule may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.
p
F
WARNING! Ensure that the pump is disconnected from the mains power supply before attempting any service or maintenance.
5.1.
Keep all parts of the pump clean. Rinse, drain when not in use. Check all electrical connections to ensure that they are in good condition.
p
5.2.
If pump becomes blocked, remove the inlet pipe and direct jet of water through the outlet whilst running the motor for several seconds.
Repeat this operation until the blockage has been expelled. If this action does not remedy the problem contact your local Sealey service agent.
5.3.
Clean any accessory filters according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
