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.

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).

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.
