Description, application and working principles Description WARNING: This manual is intended to give Important Information that must be followed during Storage, Transportation, Installation, Operation and Maintenance of the Pump-Set. We therefore recommend that this manual is read carefully before the Pump-Set is put into operation.
It is not permitted to make changes to the pump unit without written permission from Varisco. If any changes are made to the pump without the written permission of Varisco, Varisco disclaims all liability. Hearing protection must be worn if the noise emission level exceeds 85 dB(A).

Lift the pump by the upper prat of the handle only Use overalls and insulating shoes made according to specific safety regulation Wear safety eyewear Wear safety gloves Wear safety earmuffs Wear hard hats Do not go near hot surfaces (motor and vacuum pump) Keep away from moving parts (belts etc.)
Transportation and lifting “Transport” refers to the phase when the equipment is transferred from the manufacturing site to that where it shall be used. The electrical equipment is supplied mechanically fastened to the structure of its relative machine; refer to the specific Use and Maintenance Manual for the methods of transport and handling. Any kind of impact and stress to the components must be avoided when the electrical equipment is transported and handled.
Clean pipework thoroughly before connecting it to the pump. Suction pipes must have the same diameter as the pump’s suction port (for larger diameters, seek VARISCO Spa’s advice). Where possible, avoid curves, elbows or constrictions liable to limit the flow of liquid to the pump.
Preparation for starting WARNING If the pump is equipped with a vacuum pump, the pump does not have to be filled with the pumped liquid. DANGER Before operating the pump, check that all parts of the system have been correctly installed and that all safety devices are operative.
Filling the pump casing Fill the pump casing completely with the liquid to be pumped through the opening on the top of the casing (1). When the pump is stopped, the casing does not empty and therefore it is not necessary to refill it.
Checking safety and environmental risks THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS ARE STRICTLY FORBIDDEN: • Using the pumps in a potentially explosive atmosphere. • Carrying out maintenance with the engine running. • Climbing on top of the engine-driven pump to perform work of any kind. •...
Starting 1. Check the pump type (type plate) and the characteristics of the pump unit, such as: rpm, operating pressure, power consumption, operating temperature, direction of rotation, NPSH, etc. 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. WARNING If the pump vacuum lift is set too high, cavitation in the pump set is possible and this can be recognized by High levels of vibration, a crackling noise in the pump, decreased capacity and pressure.
Stopping 1. Turn the engine start-Stop switch to position “OFF” (1). Observe whether the system comes to a gradual, smooth stop 2. Close Fuel throttle (2). 3. When you suspect that the liquid is beginning to freeze, drain the pump while the medium is still in the liquid state...
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 draining port (1). 2.
12 Troubleshooting WARNING In the event of a malfunction or abnormal operation, shut off the pump or pump unit immediately to prevent a dangerous situation and/or damage (possibly severe) to the pump or pump unit. Inform to responsible persons. Determine the cause of the malfunction. Resolve the problem before restarting the pump Problem Possible cause...
