principle
Use both lifting handles to raise the pumping
station and place it in the pit.
Storage
Outdoor storage periods must not exceed
four months and the tank must be covered
(for example by a tarpaulin).
TRANSPORT, UNLOADING AND STORAGE
Transport:
1. Ensure the tank never comes into contact
with sharp edges.
2. Protect the tank from impacts.
Loading and unloading:
1. Carry out loading and unloading
operations with the greatest care.
2. Ensure that the pumpstation is unloaded
from the lorry by means of appropriate
lifting equipment.
3. Always use lifting slings with the correct
dimensions (reminder: maximum weight of
tank is 180 kg).

10
Filling:
Important: during filling, ensure that the tank
is vertical.
Fill material must have a granulosity of be-
tween 2 and 36 mm. Filling must be carried
out before the water table surface reaches
the top of the fill material.
1) Spread a layer of fill material 300 mm
thick (B) Compact and level the surface, then
place the Micro 10 tank on top.
2) Add a layer of fill up to a minimum height
of 700 mm.
Compact in successive layers with a maxi-
mum thickness of 50 mm.
Fill of the upper part (C) must not contain
stones more than 50 mm. in calibre.
Water table: Figure 2B
In the case of difficult surfaces (impermeable
or clayey) or of ground water, the bottom of
the pit must consist of a concrete base 0.20
metres thick.
Concrete ballasting must be poured around
the pumping station
INSTALLATION
Installation of the pumping station is always
under the entire responsibility of the firm in
charge of the installation. General informa-
tion and instructions in accordance with EN
976-2:1997
Warning:
Never install pumps before covering the tank
with earth.
Installation in the ground
The pumpstation is designed to resist
stresses linked to the presence of a water
table flush with ground level.
The pumping station must not be installed in
soil composed of peat. When the pumpsta-
tion is installed in soil which is argillaceous
(clayey) , granular, or silty, a geotextile fabric
must be laid over all excavation surfaces.
The geotextile fabric prevents the fill material
from becoming mixed with the soil (A).
Excavation dimensions:
1) Depth: 300 mm greater than the level in-
tended for installation.
2) Width: two metres greater than the pump-
station.

• Fix the self-adhesive drill former on the drill
area (flat piece shown)
• Drill the tank with a jigsaw or similar
• Fit gasket Ø160
• Chamfer exterior of tube Ø160
• Pass the tube through the gasket
Connection of discharge pipe
Connect the pump discharge pipe to the net-
work pipe with the PVC threaded/smooth fix-it
coupling (fig. 3)
Use of a flexible pipe fitting between the pump-
station and the network pipe is recommended in
order to avoid stresses or breakage of piping
due to any ground compaction.
Passing cabling through (fig. 4)
In the upper part of the flat delivery input drilling
area is the assembly location for the two pump
glands.
Pass the cables through these pump glands.
Ensure that sufficient length of cable is left for
any subsequent work on the pump.
Note:
Separate the earth cable from the live cable on
the pump.
Above the hooks for the regulators, in the flat
area, is the assembly area for the pump glands
for the level regulators.
Pass the cables through the pump glands.
Ensure that sufficient length of cable is avail-
able. Adjust the length and hook the cables
over their hook.
Hooks for supporting chains (pumps) (fig. 5)
The hooks are located on the stainless steel
cross-beam.
There are 2 small folded lugs on the cross
beam which enable the chains to be hookedup
(fig. 5).

CAM LOCKING MECHANISM OPTION
• Take the cover and drill a Ø 21 mm hole in
the centre of the hollow cylindrical shape
provided for the locking mechanism
• Insert the upper part of the barrel (1) in the
hole which has been drilled (the triangular
shape of the barrel should be outside the
cover) as indicated in the diagram below.
• Next thread the nut (2) over the barrel
(inside of the cover)
• Then place the locking lug (3) over the
square form of the barrel and insert the
screw (4) to keep the lug in place.
• Using the spanner (5) release the locking
device so that the lug (3) does not project
outside the cover. Screw the cover over
your lift station, then lock the cover with the
spanner. Remove the spanner and position
the cap supplied over the cover in order to
prevent clogging with dirt.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Information for the electrician connecting the
Micro 10 pumpstation.
When making connections inside the station,
do not forget that this is a humid environ-
ment and that appropriate electrical protec-
tion devices are indispensible.
Condensation forms inside the pumpstation
and the connection casings.
Do not use terminal boards as these can
easily cause short-circuiting. Use isolated
connectors filled with silicon. For even
greater safety and to avoid condensation
forming, fill the casings with Vaseline
(or petroleum jelly).
Fix the motor cable giving it a wide curve.
If the cable is too long, it may be sucked into
the pump. Shorten the cable to an appropri-
ate length.
Be careful to ensure that the cable ends are
not immersed; water can be sucked into the
cable by capillarity.
Hang the level regulators on the hooks or to
a support which can be easily removed when
the pump needs to be lifted up. Adjust the
cable to the desired length.
Note: Monitor the direction of wheel rotation.
If the direction of rotation is inverted, the
pump will still work but with reduced perform-
ance.
Monitoring operation
1. Open the stop cock with the valve key
supplied.
2. Start the pump from the control panel.
All electrical work is to be
carried out under the
supervision of an autho
rised electrician.
Strictly comply with local
codes and regulations.
Before beginning work,
check that the electrical
supply cable is discon
nected from mains power.
Check the supply voltage on the pump’s data
plate.
Check that the specifications on the motor’s
dataplate match the mains voltage and
frequency.
Carefully read the installation and mainte-
nance manual supplied with the pump to-
gether with that on the electrical control box.
Pass the cables (motor cable, level regulator
cable and equipotential bonding) through the
cable entrance to the electrical control box.
Connect the wires in accordance with the
wiring diagram.
Use the appropriate ITT Lowara clamps to
retain cables inside the pumping station.
Installation of level regulator
Two Flygt ENM-10 level regulators are
provided for startup and for alarms.
The regulators are suspended from hooks in-
side the pumping station. It is recommended
that you install the startup level regulator at
the height of the pump lifting handle and the
alarm regulator 50 cm, higher.
MAINTENANCE
-Refer to the SAFETY section of this
manual for safety measures.
- (Visually) check that the system is tight.
- Lift the pump and check that the dis
charge outlet gasket on the Hook up
system is in a proper state of repair.
- Systematically re-close and lock the
cover before leaving the pumping station.
Pump
Comply with instructions regarding the
frequency of inspection. See Pump Installation
Manual.
Equipotential bonding
Ensure that all connections are tight and show
no signs of corrosion.
Carry out any necessary replacements.
If the pump within the station runs dry or hums,
the surface of the pump and surrounding liquid may be hot.
Be careful of the risk of burning.
