2. Informació de seguretat
Avís legal:
This item, component, package or system is intended for professional use only, by persons knowledgeable of how to determine if it is chemically compatible with the liquid(s) to be pumped, the safe installation, use and maintenance of pressure-generating and pressure-containing devices and the safe installation, use and maintenance of electrically, pneumatically and hydraulically powered equipment.
Always ensure proper electrical grounding and adhere to local electrical codes. Disconnect power before performing any maintenance or service.
3. Configuració i instal·lació
3.1. Preparació del lloc
Ensure the installation site is stable, level, and capable of supporting the pump's weight (approximately 31 pounds). Provide adequate ventilation for the motor.
3.2. Piping Connections
The pump features a .75" x .5" connection. Ensure all piping is properly sized and supported to prevent strain on the pump. The discharge can rotate in 90-degree increments for flexible installation.
3.3. Connexió elèctrica
This pump is equipped with a 1/2hp 3 Phase Motor, 230/460 VAC/60 Hz. Electric supply for ALL motors must be within +/-10% of nameplate voltage rating (e.g., 230V +/-10% = 207 to 253). Consult a qualified electrician for wiring. Ensure proper grounding.
3.4. Cebament
Important: This pump is NOT self-priming and requires flooded suction. Ensure the pump casing and suction line are completely filled with liquid before starting the pump to prevent damage.
4. Instruccions de funcionament
4.1. Comprovació prèvia al funcionament
- Comproveu que totes les connexions siguin segures i sense fuites.
- Confirm the pump is properly primed (flooded suction).
- Ensure the power supply matches the motor's requirements.
4.2. Engegada de la bomba
Once all pre-operation checks are complete, apply power to the motor. The pump is designed for continuous-duty operation.
4.3. Aplicacions
This pump is suitable for various applications including circulation, chemical processing, liquid transfer, dirty water, and cooling. The self-cleaning, semi-open, stainless steel impeller can handle solids up to 1/8" diameter.

5. Manteniment
5.1. Comprovacions rutinàries
- Regularly inspect for leaks around seals and connections.
- Monitor motor temperature and unusual noises.
- Check for any obstructions in the suction or discharge lines.
5.2. Impeller and Seal Service
The pump features a "pull-from-rear" design, allowing for easy service of the impeller and mechanical seal without disturbing the piping. The self-cleaning impeller helps prevent clogging, but periodic inspection for debris is recommended, especially when pumping dirty water.
The pump uses a Buna-N Mechanical Seal and O-ring. Optional Silicon Carbide Mechanical Seals are available for different applications.
5.3. Hivernació (si escau)
If the pump is exposed to freezing temperatures, drain all liquid from the pump casing using the front drain plug to prevent damage from ice expansion.
