Before starting, prime the pump filling it with water via the hole in the loading plug in the upper part of the
pump casing.
After a period of time sufficient in order to reach the steady state, it shall be necessary to verify the following conditions:
lack of vibrations or of anomalous noises;lack of changes in the delivery;value of the absorbed current by the motor
not higher than the one indicated on the plate. In presence of one (or more) of the above mentioned conditions, it shall
be necessary to stop the pump and to find the cause.
If the electropump remains inactive at low temperatures or, at any rate, for a period exceeding three months,
it is a good idea to empty the pump attraverso l'apposito tappo.
