which the pump is installed if the device itself has not been declared compliant with the aforementioned
Directives.
For pumps without their own drive that have been modified and/or are not used for the use for which they
were produced, this Declaration of conformity is to be considered null and void.

B. Introduction
1. Introduction
The instruction manual contains important information on how to operate the pump in a safe,
adequate and effective manner. Compliance with these instructions will help you avoid
dangerous situations, reduce any repair costs and downtime, and improve the reliability and
durability of the pump.
This manual refers only to the pump. For the motor and the coupling please refer to the
separate instructions.
The operating instructions must always be available in the place where the pump is in
operation.
The operating instructions must be read and applied by all personnel assigned to work with
the pump.
The rules and regulations indicated in this manual must be scrupulously complied with, to
prevent accidents and protect the environment in which the pump is used. In addition, the local
technical and safety regulations necessary for the correct and safe use of the pump must be
complied with.
The fundamental operations for the use of the pump, as well as for its transport, assembly,
installation, commissioning, maintenance and repair, must be carried out by qualified and
responsible personnel.
2. Safety A pump can be dangerous if it is not installed correctly, if it is not properly maintained or if it is
not working properly. Failure to comply with the following warnings could compromise the
safety of the staff or the correct operation of the pump.
Each part of the pump must be used in full compliance with safety regulations. In the event
that the weight of the pumps or their accessories exceeds 20 kg, the use of special lifting
devices is recommended in order to avoid any damage to personnel.
CAUTION Lifting hooks suitable for lifting single elements such as pumps and motors must not be used
to lift the complete unit.
Before starting disassembling the pump it is advisable to take all the necessary safety
precautions, especially if dangerous or toxic products have been used in the pumps. If in doubt,
contact your Safety Manager or the pump manufacturer.
While disassembling the pumps that have used dangerous or toxic products, always wear
adequate clothing, safety glasses and protective masks.
Before disassembling, disconnect the pump electrically. Make sure that nobody can act on the
main switch during the work.
Before disconnecting the pump from the pipes, always empty the product from the pump
casing, using the appropriate drain plug or port.
Rinse the pump casing with a compatible liquid and allow it to dry in a safe area.
Before proceeding with any maintenance, consult the system manager to verify the need for
special decontamination procedures.
All pumps returned to the manufacturer must be decontaminated and marked with a special
label that will state the precautions to be taken during disassembly.
3. Checking the delivery
Pumps and their parts are shipped duly protected to prevent damage during normal transport
operations. Nevertheless, the goods must be inspected immediately after arrival. Any damage
found on the packaging, which could have also damaged the material contained, must be
communicated to the carrier and, if possible, take photographs, too.

The photographic support will be useful in case of complaints to the haulier. Inform also the
company that sold you the pump.
Immediately notify the haulier in case of any material missing from what is indicated in the
transport document.
Check that the data mentioned on the goods label correspond to those in the transport
document and in the purchase order, to ensure that the pump received is actually the one
ordered.
4. Storage
Should the pump not be installed immediately after it has been received and checked, it should
be re-packaged and placed in a suitable storage location.
Check and leave the protective coatings on unpainted surfaces intact. The application of a
protective coating on unpainted surfaces untreated by the manufacturer is recommended.
Leave the plastic or port covers intact or replace some.
The pumps should be placed in a dry and clean place. If moisture or dust is present in the
storage area, the pump must be protected with a waterproof coating.
If the pump has been used, open the cover or the drain plug, empty the pump casing and fill it
with an anti-corrosion oil.
CAUTION Lifting hooks suitable for lifting single elements such as pumps and motors must not be used
to lift the complete unit.
5. Description of the pump
The S series pumps are centrifugal and self-priming. The impeller with open blades allows a
wide passage of solids. With this type of pump, it is possible to handle corrosive and viscous
liquids containing suspended solids, abrasive powders, even in the presence of air bubbles.
They are installed above or near the liquid to be pumped. In fact, one of the advantages of this
type of pump is that it must not be immersed in the liquid. The maximum self-priming height is
8 m; depending on the physical characteristics of the liquid and the location of the pump, the
height value can change.
Further information can be found in the attached brochure.
6. Warranty
The manufacturer guarantees the pumps for defects in material or workmanship, for a period
of 12 months from the date of delivery. On request, the manufacturer can guarantee longer
warranty periods.
Repair of the pump or replacement of components or of the pump itself can take place only
after a careful examination of the material at the pump manufacturer workshop. The material
must reach the pump manufacturer without any transport charge. Any exemption must be
confirmed in writing.
The warranty does not cover parts damaged by incorrect use and assembly of the pump by
the user, as well as parts subject to deterioration or normal wear and tear (especially impellers,
wear plates and mechanical seals).
The warranty is no longer valid if the pump is disassembled or modified without the
manufacturer's authorization.
CAUTION Do not leave water in the pump casing during the cold season! Water could freeze and break
the pump casing!
