the diameter of the pipe; its distance from the bottom of the reservoir should also be one and a half times its
diameter.
For suctions longer than 4 metres use an oversized pipe (1/4" wider at suction for improved efficiency).

Installation

a) Position the pump on a flat surface that is as close as possible to the water source. Leave enough space
around the pump to allow safe use and maintenance. A free space of at least 100 mm must be kept in front
of the cooling fan of surface pumps in all cases;
b) Lower submersible pumps using a rope fixed to the handle and hooks provided;
c) Use pipes of suitable diameters (see PART 2) fitted with threaded sleeves that must be screwed onto the
pump suction and delivery unions or its threaded counterflanges;
d) SURFACE PUMPS cannot be moved or used in the open
Dismantling
The following must be done when moving or dismantling the motor pump:
a) Disconnect the electric supply;
b) Remove the delivery and suction pipes (where present) if too long or bulky;
c) If present, unscrew the screws that secure the motor-driven pump to its supporting surface;
d) If present, hold the power cable;
e) Lift the motor-driven pump using equipment suitable to the pump weight and dimensions (refer to the
plate).
Transportation
The motor-driven pump is packed in a carton or can be fixed to a wooden pallet, if pump weight and
dimensions allow it. Transportation should not, in any case, present any particular problems.
Verify the total weight stamped on the box.
Storage
a) The product must be stored in a covered and dry place, far away from heat sources and protected against
dirt and vibrations.
b) Protect the product against damp conditions, heat sources and mechanical damage.
c) Do not place heavy objects on the packaging.
d) The product must be stored at an ambient temperature between +5°C and +40°C with a relative humidity
of 60%.

Electrical connection

− Electrical connection must be carried out by a qualified engineer.
− It is advisable to install a high intensity differential switch (0.03 A) on both the threephase and single phase
versions.
Motor-driven pumps not equipped with a plug must be powered by connecting them permanently to the
electrical cabinet equipped with a switch, fuses and thermal cut-out calibrated to the pump's absorbed
current.
The mains must be reliably earthed, according to the electrical regulations in force in the user's country: this is
the installer's responsibility.
If the motor-driven pump is supplied without a power cable, use a cable that complies with the regulations in
force and the necessary section according to length, power and mains voltage.
If present, the plug of the single phase version must be connected to the mains far from sprays, water jets or
rain and it must be accessible.
The three phase version does not have an internal motor protector, therefore overload protection must be
provided by the user.
