WARNING:
• When installing the pump, pay close
attention to its centre of gravity and
weight. If it is not lowered into place
correctly, it may fall and be damaged or
cause injury.
• When transporting the pump by hand,
be sure to employ manpower
commensurate with the weight of the
pump. To avoid back injury when lifting
the pump, bend the knees to pick it up
rather than bending your back.
CAUTION:
• Do not under any circumstances install
or move the pump by suspending it
from the power cable. The cable may
be damaged, causing electrical
leakage, shock, fire, injury or death.
1Attach the hose to the hose coupling
as far as it will go, then fasten it
securely with the hose band.
2Avoid dropping the pump or other
strong impact. Lift the pump by holding
it firmly with both hands or by
attaching a rope or chain to the handle.
3Install the pump in an upright position
on a secure base. Ensure that the inlet
to the pump is not blocked by sludge,
mud, solids, plastic bags, rubbish.
4Where a float switch is attached to the
pump, ensure the float switch is free to
operate without interfering with tank
walls, pipe work etc.
5A swing check non-return valve and
isolating valve should be fitted to
discharge pipe close to the pump but
accessable so that it can be replaced.
6The pump must not be used in or at
swimming pools, garden ponds or
where there are people in the water.
CAUTION:
• Avoid dry operation, which will not only
lower performance but can cause the
pump to malfunction, leading to
electrical leakage and shock.
7Install the pump in a location with
sufficient water level, where water
collects readily.
NOTE: Please refer to “Operating Water Level”
(page 10) for the water level necessary for
operation.
NOTE: The discharge end should be located
higher than the water surface. If the end of the
hose or pipe is submerged, water may flow
back to the pump when the pump is stopped;
and if the hose end is lower than the water
surface, water may overflow when the pump
is turned off.
