Directions for maintenance & use SURPRESSOR PUMP MH

WARNING! In order to reduce the risks of fire, electric shock and personal injury during the course of installation and use of your pump, it is recommended that you always adhere to basic safety precautions, including the following:

Read these instructions in their entirety before operating this machine and retain these instructions,

1) GENERAL REMARKS

The water pump is designed to suck up treated water.

The pump must be installed in a dry, ventilated location, not exposed to bad weather and heat; the maximum suction height must not exceed 8 meters.

When correctly installed, your pump will operate with maximum efficiency and entirely to your satisfaction: be sure to read the following instructions carefully.

3) USE AND INSTALLATION

a) Use:

The water pump is designed for everyday uses such as gardening, sprinkler systems, increasing water pressure of the non-feed water distribution network, pumping of tank water and jet washing. The pump/booster assembly maximizes water storage by limiting frequency of operation, and in particular ensures constant pressure is maintained in the installation.

The pump must not be operated for uses not specified in this manual.

In particular, the pump must not be use for:

• Pumping of seawater, waste water, water containing solid bodies, sand or abrasive particles in suspension, or water containing corrosive substances in general.
• Pumping of water whose temperature exceeds 35^ C
• Pumping of explosive, inflammable or dangerous liquids.

b) Major recommendations:

Before connecting up to the electricity network, you must:

• Fasten the pump securely to the ground or a suitable support.

With that in mind, the four feet of the tank have been perforated so as to allow fastening bolts (not supplied) to go through.

• Ensure that the network voltage is the same as that stated on the pump specification label.

ATTENTION!

The guarantee does not cover accidents due to installation. This pump must be installed in accordance with the standards currently in force and by qualified staff. We advise you to get in contact with an electrician.

The fixed pipes which the pump is to be connected up to must include a separation device with contacts whose aperture is at least equal to 3mm over all the poles.

If the pump is used for the operation of a swimming pool, it must be supplied with power by means of an isolating transformer or by a circuit comprising a core balance transformer with assigned operating residual current not exceeding 30mA . The pump must not be used in outside fountains, garden pools or similar situations.

NOTE: This pump is not designed to be used in pool cleaning or other pool maintenance tasks. When used for the operation of a swimming pool, the pump must be installed in an enclosed service room.

c) Electrical connection: IMPORTANT:

If the supply lead is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales service or a similarly qualified technician in order to prevent any danger (contact the dealer for the list of approved after-sales service agents).

1. Check that the mains power supply is the same as that stated on the pump indicator plate.
2. Check that the supply lead is not damaged.
3. Turn off power of the wall socket which the pump will be connected to using the separation device (see section entitled "Major recommendations").
4. Connect the cable plug to the 10/16A wall socket. The latter must have an earthing pin.
5. Turn power back on for several seconds in order to carry out a no-load test of the pump. Do not operate the pump for more than 2-3 seconds in order to avoid excessive over-heating. Such an occurrence would cause permanent damage.
6. When power supply is again turned off, proceed to connect up pipes as set out in the following paragraphs.

4) CONNECTION OF THE SUCION PIPE

The set of pipe's fittings must be mounted using Teflon so as to ensure complete air-tightness.

In the case of fittings with gaskets or O-rings, it is not necessary to use Teflon.

Ensure that the gaskets hold firm over time. The suction pipe must have a minimum diameter of 25mm and be rigid to prevent crushing. We recommend fitting a strainer (mounting with Teflon). Use clamping rings if necessary.

In all cases, the suction pipe must not be oriented upwards. In the case of a chamber with sand or gravel, position the strainer 50~cm from the bottom or in a bucket at the bottom of the chamber.

IMPORTANT!

It is imperative that the suction pipe which include a non-return valve.

It is therefore necessary to ensure that this valve is included or obtain one prior to any connection. We recommend the use of a set-up comprising a strainer plus non-return valve.

In order to avoid leaks and obtain optimum performance, it is important to mount the fittings using Teflon.

6) START-UP

• Unscrew the filler cap on the pump casing.
• Using a receptacle, fill the pump casing until overflowing occurs. (Do not throw water on the electrical parts).
  Put the cap back in place and screw it sufficiently tight to prevent air intake.
• If the water level drops in the case, re-examine the suction pipe fitting and proceed to again fill the casing.
• Turn off the discharge line valve of your installation.
• Ensure that there is no water on the electrical parts of the pump and that there is no leakage.
• Connect the power plug to a 10/16A socket featuring an earthing pin.
• Activate the power supply switch.
• The pump starts working and cuts out automatically as soon as pressure in the tank reaches 3 bars approx.

• Slowly open the discharge line valve. The pump begins to discharge without the engine starting thanks to the water stored in the tank.

• When the pressure in the tank falls below 1.5 bars approx., the pump starts up and continues working as long as the pressure in the tank does not reach 3 bars approx.

• To stop the pump cycles, slowly close the discharge line valve.
• Always follow these instructions in order to prevent overpressure in the circuit, thereby avoiding pressure fluctuations ("hammering").

IMPORTANT!

• Do not operate the pump without there being water in the pump casing: prolonged operation of the pump while the discharge line valve is closed may seriously damage the pump.
• Where there is a power failure, it is preferable to disconnect the power plug or switch off the switch controlling the pump.
• Where the pump is not used for an extended period, be sure to also turn off the pump's power supply.

7) MAINTENANCE

• In winter, the pump must be carefully emptied or positioned where it cannot be affected by frost.
• Before each new start-up, check that the gaskets are in good condition and that the fitting are airtight.
• For all repair or maintenance work requiring dismantling of electrical parts, you must contact an approved after-sales service agent (see the dealer).
