3.2 Checks before starng up
• Check that the hydraulic connecons are correctly ghtened.
• Check that the pump is stable, level and ush.
• The electricity supply cable must be insulated against any cung or hot elements that may damage it.
• The hydraulic circuit must be bled and not contain any foreign bodies.
• The pump pre-lter strainer cover must be correctly closed (by hand) and its seal clean and in place.
• Check that the valves are open.
• To prevent against any risk of explosion that may cause material damage, serious injury or even death,
make sure that the hydraulic circuit is free of any debris or blockage and is not subject to excessive pressure.
• Never run the pump "dry" as this may damage it.
• The pre-lter strainer cover must be closed by hand (do not use any tools).
3.3 Start the appliance
• Start a speed, the pump always starts in "priming" mode (2850 rpm for approx. 2 minutes).
• The pump is self-priming. However, you are strongly recommended to ll the pre-lter strainer with water before
starng it up for the rst me to facilitate the procedure.
• Bleed any air present in the ltraon circuit using the bleed normally present on the lter (refer to the swimming pool
lter's manual).
• Check that there are no leaks on the hydraulic circuit.
The pump has a priming capacity up to 3 metres above the swimming pool water level (if the hydraulic circuit is
perfectly sealed).
