1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY. p WARNING! It is the users responsibility to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical equipment and appliances to ensure they are safe before using. You must inspect power supply leads, plugs and
all electrical connections for wear and damage. You must ensure the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety
devices. An RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that an RCD
(Residual Current Device) is used with all electrical products. It is particularly important to use an RCD together with portable products that are
plugged into an electrical supply not protected by an RCCB. If in doubt consult a professional electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current
Device by contacting your Sealey dealer. You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
1.1.1. The Electricity At Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical appliances, if used on a business premises, to be tested by
a qualified Electrician at least once a year by using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT).
1.1.2. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of the appliance,
and the safety of the appliance operator. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
1.1.3. Ensure the insulation on all cables and the product itself is safe before connecting to the mains power supply.
1.1.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
1.1.5. Regularly inspect power supply, leads, plugs and all electrical connections for wear and damage,
especially power connections, to ensure that none are loose.
1.1.6. Important: Ensure the voltage marked on the product is the same as the electrical power supply
to be used, and check that plugs are fitted with the correct capacity fuse. A 13Amp plug may require
a fuse smaller than 13Amps for certain products (subject to 1.1.10. below) see fuse rating at right.
1.1.7. DO NOT pull or carry the powered appliance by its power supply lead.
1.1.8. DO NOT pull power plugs from sockets by the power cable.
1.1.9. DO NOT use worn or damaged leads, plugs or connections. Immediately replace or have repaired by
a qualified Electrician. A U.K. 3 pin plug with ASTA/BS approval is fitted. In case of damage, cut off
and fit a new plug according to the following instructions (discard old plug safely).
(UK only - see diagram at right). Ensure the unit is correctly earthed via a three-pin plug.
a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal E.
b) Connect the BROWN live wire to live terminal L.
c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal N.
After wiring, check there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected and that the wire restraint is tight.
1.1.10. Extension cable use. Only use a cable designed for use with water equipment. Contact your dealer or a qualified electrician for
advice. Ensure water is kept clear of electrical mains power supply. DO NOT touch switch or plug with wet hands.

2. INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATIONS
The EWP40 is designed for pumping clean cold or warm water, (NOT exceeding 35OC) to supply domestic, agricultural or light industrial use. Typical use would be
for filling tanks, wells, large ponds, swimming pools, irrigation and the general transfer of water. The pump may also be used to circulate water.

The pump may be gravity or suction fed. Gravity feed is the preferred arrangement as this will place less strain on the long term operation of the pump.
Depending on the installation, various plumbing accessories will be required. Determine requirements and if necessary contact your local Sealey dealer
for advice on obtaining appropriate items.
3.1. PUMP
Locate pump in an adequate working location ensuring there is good air circulation. Externally the pump is
not designed to be totally waterproof so protect from possible wet situations. Secure the pump to a flat
horizontal surface with the outlet pipe (fig 1) pointing upwards (vertically).
To minimise the load on the pump motor (i.e. reduced flow = less load on motor), the point of discharge
(water outlet) must be at a vertical (upright) minimum distance of 1.5m. If this is not possible a
restriction valve must be installed to the outlet pipe (fig 1). This valve will regulate and reduce the
pump flow thus decreasing the motor load. Ensure pipes are adequately secured to sustain the pump
and pipe when operating.
3.2. GRAVITY FEED (Preferred arrangement when feed water level is above the pump inlet height).
Fit an isolation valve to gravity feed pipe, which is used to turn water off and restrict flow if necessary.
3.3. SUCTION FEED (When the feed water level is lower than the pump inlet)
The maximum distance between the feed water and the pump inlet must not exceed 4.5m. Connect
a 1 filter valve to the feed pipe inlet (fig 1) to ensure water will be retained in pump system. Connect
other end to pump inlet. It should not be necessary to control flow by use of the outlet regulator valve
which should be fully open.
NOTE: With both gravity and suction feed ensure:
1. The supply inlet pipe is the same height as the pump inlet or lower.
2. If connecting to a drinking water supply that water authority regulations are applied.
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3. INSTALLATION
5. MAINTENANCE
pWARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply safety instructions.
4.1 Check inlet water pipe is turned on accordingly or that inlet suction feed is dully placed in the water supply to a depth of at least 30mm beyond the filter.
4.2. If using gravity feed, check and set the outlet restrictor valve as necessary.
4.3. Prime the pump via the bleed screw (located at the side of the outlet pipe).
4.4. If for any reason the motor should overheat a thermal circuit breaker will automatically activate and stop the pump. If this happens, switch the mains
power off and unplug. Check reason for overheating and remedy the problem. Should the pump not be switched off, the motor will remain off for
approximately 5 minutes, and when cooled will automatically switch itself on again.
pWARNING! ELECTRICAL CONNECTION MUST BE UNDERTAKEN AND TESTED
BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
Connect the correctly rated electrical mains cable to the pump unit according to diagram A.
pWARNING! With the exceptions listed below, pump, and electrical service, maintenance and repair must only be undertaken by an
authorised service agent. Failure to observe this rule may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.
pWARNING! Ensure the pump is disconnected from the mains power supply before attempting any service or maintenance.
