If an extension cord is necessary a cord of the proper type and rating must be used.
In general for 230 volt pumps on distances up to 40 metres (inclusive of original cord
length) the same specification cord as fitted to the pump can be used. For distances
above 40 metres a larger cord size may be required due to voltage drop and advice must
be obtained based upon installation details.
Any connectors or junction boxes must be specifically suited for outdoor use and
installed in accordance with manufacturers instructions.
Any cable routed underground must be protected to local standards.
Float Switch Cord Extension (applicable models only)
The float switch cord cannot be extended.
NOISE
The equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level at a distance of 1 metre
from the pumpset does not exceed 70 dB(A).
COMMISSIONING
WARNING:
The pump chamber must be full of water at all times. Damage will
result if pump runs dry.
1. The pump must be fully submerged before starting. Take care when submerging the
pump to ensure all air is purged from the casing. This is done by slowly submerging
the pump and gently agitating whilst doing so. This will enable any trapped air
pockets to be released.
2. Turn on the electrical supply and water movement should be immediately evident
from pump outlet. If it is not, repeat step 1.
