WARNING: Read this manual carefully before installing this pump.
This sign warns the operator that the failure to follow an instruction may damage the pump and/or the system.
Carefully store this manual. If problems arise, contact the Customer Assistance Service. Please verify that the pump
has been used correctly and that the cause of the problem is not imputable to its operation.
Every electropump is carefully tested and packed during its assembly.
On receiving the pump, check that the pump has not been damaged during transportation. If the pump is damaged,
immediately inform the dealer within 8 days from the date of purchase.
Ch. 1 Features
The pump cannot be used for sea water and inflammable, corrosive, explosive or
dangerous liquids.
Verify that the electropump never runs without liquids.
WARNING
WARNING
FLOTEC VIPVORT, FP14 KVX, FP7 KV series electropumps are suitable to pump dirty water containing suspended solid
particles. These pumps can be used both for permanent and temporary installations and in particular to empty collection
basins containing dirty or waste waters.

The pumps of this series are not suitable for table fountains or aquariums. If these pumps are used in continuous mode
for ponds with fish, it is necessary to check them at regular intervals of 6 months (if the water contains aggressive
substances). It is also advisable to check the maximum dimension of particles recommended for the pump and take
the necessary measures to prevent the fish from being sucked into the pump.

(*) These data refer to Fig. 1. Measurements are expressed in millimetres.
The minimum priming level corresponds to a condition in which the delivery mouth is completely submersed.
(See Fig. 1 - Reference A)

Ch. 3 Installation (see Fig. 1)
Electric shock
risk
DANGER
To prevent possible injuries to people, avoid inserting hands into the mouth of the pump if this
is connected to the mains.
DANGER
Use the handle provided to transport or lift the pump.
To use the pump in permanent installations with rigid pipes, to install a check valve to avoid the fluid being re-circulated
once the pump is stopped. The installation of a quick closing fitting in a convenient position facilitates cleaning and
maintenance operations.
The dimensions of the collection container should reduce to the minimum the number of starts per hour (see LIMITATIONS
- Technical data).
To use the pump for temporary applications, install a flexible pipe and connect it to the pump using a pipe holder. To
immerse the pump, use a rope and fix it to the handle.
FLOTEC VIPVORT, FP14 KVX, FP7 KV pumps have a pre-set floating switch. To change the setting, it is necessary to
increase or reduce the length of the floating switch cable by sliding it in the slot on the handle (See Fig. 1).
GB 2
WARNING
WARNING
Verify that the floating switch stops the pump as soon as the minimum level is reached.
Make sure that the floating switch is free to move.
(see also Fig. 7 and 8)
The pumps used in ponds, small lakes, fountains or similar installations or close to them should have a cut-out switch.
Contact a specialised electrician.
When installing, please ensure electropump is disconnected from electrical
supply. Pumps in this series are not suitable for use in a swimming pool and
the relevant cleaning and servicing operations.

Pump anchorage
Use the slots on the filter cap (see Fig. 2, pos. 1) to anchor the pump. Then, remove the inserts from the filter cap. It is also
possible to insert 3 screws in the widest section of the slots (see Fig. 2, pos. 2) and turn the filter cap counterclockwise
so that the screws keep the cap in place in the narrowest section of the slots (Fig. 2, pos. 3). After fixing the filter cap, it is
necessary to insert the pump in the related guides (see Fig. 3, pos. 4) and turn it counterclockwise to fix it in place (Fig. 5).
Instructions for a safe pump start
The power cable should have a minimum section equivalent to that of H05 RN-F. To be able to use the pump outdoors,
it is necessary to use cable with a length of 10 m. The plug and connections should be protected by water splashes.
Before using the pump, always inspect it visually (especially power cable and plug). Do not use the pump if it is damaged.
If the pump is damaged, have it inspected by the specialised assistance service only.
Make sure that electric connections are protected from inundation.
Protect the plug and the power cable from heat, oil or sharp edges.
Grounding
The plug of the power cable has a double grounding contact, so that grounding can be performed by simply inserting
the plug.
GB
The installer must make sure that the electric system is grounded in
accordance with the law in force.
WARNING
Verify that the voltage and frequency of the electropump shown on the nameplate
correspond to those available on the mains.
DANGER
Electric shock
risk
DANGER
Electric shock
risk
Make sure that the electric system has a high-sensitivity circuit
breaker D=30 mA (DIN VDE 0100T739).
DANGER
Electric shock
risk
The power cable must be replaced by qualified personnel only.
Overload protection
FLOTEC VIPVORT series pumps have a built-in thermal protection switch. The pump stops if an overload condition occurs.
The motor restarts automatically after it has cooled down (see point 4 of the Troubleshooting section for information
on causes and corrective actions).
To start the pump, insert the plug in a 230 V alternate current socket.
ATTENTION: the pump runs as soon as the floating switch reaches the start-up level.
GB 3
In ordinary conditions, FLOTEC VIPVORT series electropumps do not require any maintenance.
It may be necessary to clean the hydraulics or replace the impeller.
Hydraulics cleaning VIPVORT (see Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6)
Disassembly of the filter cap: disassemble the filter cap only after removing the safety screw (See Fig. 3, pos. 6). Keep
the pump motionless and turn the filter cap clockwise looking at the pump from the bottom. To assemble the filter cap,
turn it counterclockwise (see Fig. 4).
If the filter cap is fixed on the base with screws, turn the pump clockwise in the direction of the handle to disassemble
it (See Fig. 5).
Ch. 5 Maintenance and troubleshooting
DANGER
Electric shock
risk
