2. Informació de seguretat
Read all instructions carefully before installation and operation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, serious injury, or property damage.
- Seguretat elèctrica: Ensure the power supply matches the pump's requirements (230V, 50Hz). Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance or installation. Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) for electrical connections.
- Instal·lació professional: Electrical connections and initial setup should ideally be performed by a qualified electrician or technician.
- Qualitat de l'aigua: This pump is designed for clean water. Do not use it for flammable, corrosive, or abrasive liquids, or liquids with excessive solid content (maximum sand content 150 g/m³).
- Límits de temperatura: Do not operate the pump with liquid temperatures exceeding +40 °C.
- Protecció del cable: Do not pull or carry the pump by its power cable. Protect the cable from sharp objects, heat, and oil.
- Nens i animals de companyia: Keep children and pets away from the pump's operating area.
3. Configuració i instal·lació
Proper installation is crucial for the pump's performance and longevity. Refer to the following guidelines:
3.1 Desembalatge i inspecció
- Carefully remove the pump from its packaging.
- Inspect the pump for any visible damage that may have occurred during shipping. Do not install a damaged pump.
- Verify that all components, including the 20-meter power cable and float switch, are present.
3.2 Placement and Submersion
- The pump can be installed in both vertical and horizontal positions. Ensure it is placed on a stable, level surface to prevent movement during operation.
- The maximum submersion depth for this pump is 20 metres. Ensure the power cable is sufficiently long and securely routed to avoid tension or damage.
- Ensure the pump is fully submerged in the liquid to be pumped. The raised suction port helps prevent blockages, but avoid placing the pump directly on a muddy or sandy bottom if possible.
3.3 Connexió elèctrica
- Connect the pump to a single-phase 230V, 50Hz power supply.
- Always use a properly grounded outlet and a GFCI for protection.
- Ensure all electrical connections are watertight and protected from moisture.
3.4 Outlet Connection
- Connect a suitable pipe or hose to the pump's 1¼" outlet.
- Assegureu-vos que totes les connexions estiguin ajustades per evitar fuites.

4. Instruccions de funcionament
The Pedrollo UPm2/3-GE pump is designed for continuous service (S1) and features an integrated float switch for automatic operation.
4.1 Posada en marxa inicial
- Ensure the pump is correctly installed and fully submerged in water.
- Plug the pump into a grounded and GFCI-protected power outlet.
- The float switch will activate the pump automatically when the water level rises to a predetermined height and deactivate it when the water level drops.
4.2 Automatic Operation with Float Switch
- The float switch is a safety and convenience feature. It prevents the pump from running dry, which can cause damage.
- Adjust the float switch cable length to set the desired ON/OFF water levels. A longer cable loop will result in a wider operating range (higher ON level, lower OFF level).
- Ensure the float switch can move freely without obstruction.
4.3 Manual Operation (if applicable)
This model primarily operates automatically via the float switch. For specific manual override instructions, consult a qualified technician or the full manufacturer's manual if available.
5. Manteniment
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your Pedrollo pump.
5.1 Neteja general
- Periodically remove the pump from the water and inspect the suction port for any debris (sand, leaves, etc.) that may have accumulated despite the raised design. Clean as necessary.
- Ensure the float switch is clean and moves freely.
5.2 Hivernació (per a climes freds)
- In areas where temperatures drop below freezing, remove the pump from the water before winter.
- Clean the pump thoroughly and store it in a dry, frost-free location.
5.3 Impeller Inspection
- While the patented impellers are designed to prevent seizing, if you notice a significant drop in performance, it may be necessary to inspect the impellers for wear or blockages. This procedure should be performed by a qualified technician.
