2. GENERAL SAFETY RULES
GENERAL OBSERVATIONS
• The machines mentioned in this manual are especially designed to carry out the pre-filtration
and the circulation of water in swimming pools.
• They are designed to work with clean water at a temperature that does not exceed 45ºC.
• Installation should be carried out in accordance with the specific indications for each step.
• The regulations in force for the prevention of accidents should be heeded.
• Any modification that may be made to the pump requires the previous authorisation of the
manufacturer. The original manufacturer-authorised spares and accessories guarantee
greater safety. The pump manufacturer is exempt from all responsibility for damage caused
by the use of unauthorised spares or accessories.
• During operation the electrical parts of the pump are live. Work can only be carried out on
each machine or on connected-equipment after having disconnected them from the electrical
supply network and having disconnected the starting mechanisms.
• The user must make sure that assembly and maintenance work is carried out by qualified and
authorised people who have previously carefully read the installation and service instructions.
• The operating safety of the machine is only guaranteed with the compliance and respect for
that mentioned in the installation and service instructions.
• In the case of defective operation or breakdown, contact the nearest manufacturer's agent or
the manufacturer's Technical Customer Service.
INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY WORK WARNINGS
• While connecting electrical cables to the machine's motor, take care of the mechanism inside
the connection box, check that no pieces of cable remain inside after closure and that the
) represent the possibility of danger as a result of not
earth contact is correctly connected. Connect the motor using the electrical diagram attached
to the machine.
• Check that the electrical cable connections to the machine's terminal box are well set and
firmly attached to the connection terminals.
• The pump electrical installation should have a differential the value of which is not greater
than 30mA.
• Check that the terminal box joint is used correctly, thus preventing water from entering the
terminal box of the electric motor. Likewise, check that the packing gland has been placed
and pressed correctly inside the joint.
• The pumps must always be fixed horizontally.
• It is always advised to install them below water level, especially those that are not "self
priming" (centrifugal pumps). Moreover, the suction pipe should be as short as possible to
reduce suction time. Also, make sure that the place where the pump will be installed is always
dry and airy.
• Special attention should be paid to ensure that under no circumstances water gets into the
motor and the electric voltage parts.
• Should the envisaged use not be different from that mentioned, adaptations and
supplementary technical regulations might be necessary.
STARTING-UP WARNINGS
Before starting the pump for the first time, verify the calibration of the motor electric protection
mechanisms and check that the protectors against electrical and mechanical contacts are
correctly positioned and well fixed.
It is recommended not to use the pool during that first check of the pumping equipment
installation.
ASSEMBLY AND MAINTENANCE WORK WARNINGS
• National installation regulations should be taken into account when assembling and installing
the pumps.
• Special attention should be paid to ensure that under no circumstances water gets into the
motor and the electric voltage parts.
• Any contact, even accidental, with the machine's moving parts should be avoided while the
machine is operating and/or before it completely stops.
• Wait until the machine has completely stopped in order to carry out any work on it.
• Before undertaking any electrical or mechanical maintenance make sure that the machine has
been disconnected from the supply network and starting-up mechanisms are blocked.
• Before working on the machine it is advisable to follow the steps below:
1. Cut the machine voltage.
2. Block the starting-up mechanisms.
3. Check that there is no voltage in the circuits, including the auxiliaries and
supplementary services.
4. Wait until the wheel has stopped completely.
The mentioned list should be considered indicative and not binding, since there may be specific
safety rules within specific safety procedures.
• Periodically control:
- The mechanical parts are firmly secured and the machine support screws are in good
condition.
