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 .
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 .
