3. Configuració
3.1 Desembalatge i inspecció
Carefully remove the pump from its packaging. Inspect the pump for any signs of damage that may have occurred during shipping. Report any damage to the supplier immediately.
3.2 Muntatge de la bomba
Mount the pump on a solid, level, and vibration-free surface. Use appropriate bolts to secure the pump through the mounting holes on its base. Ensure adequate ventilation around the pump motor.
3.3 Electrical Connection and Voltage Selecció
The WASSERMANN WAC15-WNDL15/56J pump is designed for dual voltage operation (115V or 230V). The factory default configuration is 230V.

3.4 Connexions de fontaneria
The pump features 1-1/2 inch NPT suction and discharge ports. Use appropriate pipe fittings and ensure all connections are airtight, especially on the suction side, to prevent air leaks that can affect pump performance. A foot valve or check valve on the suction line is recommended to maintain prime.

3.5 Cebament de la bomba
Before initial startup or after the pump has been drained, it is essential to prime the pump. Remove the priming plug (if present) or fill the pump casing through the discharge port until the casing is full of water. Replace the plug securely. This self-priming pump will then draw water more efficiently.
4. Instruccions de funcionament
4.1 Engegada de la bomba
