Starting The Pump; Attaching The Suction Hose - Kin Multirain Jet User Manual

3. Starting the pump

Giving the different provisions applicable to the safety of electric systems
in different countries, make sure that the pump system, as concerns its
intended use, is in accordance with current legislation.
If the pump is switched on and off by an electronic pump control, such as a
Kin Pumps Control, Kin Pumps CSP Control or other, also read the manual
of the relevant control.
Before starting the pump make sure that:
• the voltage and frequency specified on the pump's nameplate
coincide with those of the available power supply;
• there are no signs of damage to the pump or its power cord;
• the electric connection is made in a dry place, protected against any
risk of flooding;
• the electric system is complete with a residual current circuit-breaker
(I Δn ≤ 30 mA) and a efficient earthing connection;
• Any extension cords must comply with the requirements of the DIN
VDE standard 0620.

Attaching the suction hose

• Fit the suction hose from the water source to the pump making sure
that the pump is above the water level. Do not position the suction
hose above the level of the pump (to avoid air bubbles forming in the
suction hose).
• The suction hose should be mounted in such a way that it does not
create any mechanical stress on the pump.
• The foot valve should be placed at least 30 cm below the minimum
water level.
• The pump will draw water only when the suction hose is completely
filled with water.
• The suction hose and the pump's suction inlet should be of the same
diameter.
• If the pump is lower than the water level, fit a shut-off valve in the suction
line.
