Required Circuit Breaker Rating
15 Amps
Connection cable

Existing installation
Where an isolator and a lead is already present from a previous installation, fit a junction box (not supplied) to
the wall and connect the lead and the 2 metre flying lead of the machine into the junction box.
Ensure that the circuit breaker or fusing complies with the above table.
Storage
If the machine is not to be installed immediately, it should be stored in the carton in which it has been
transported, in a clean, dry place which is free from vibration.
Undo the carton, lift the lid to periodically rotate the impeller by hand to prevent the mechanical seal seizing. Re-
seal the carton after doing this.
Industrial gloves must be worn when working on or rotating the impeller by hand
If the machine has been stored, ensure that the impeller boss is free to rotate. The mechanical seal may have
seized if it has not been revolved frequently or through water drying out. Result: motor will not start, or does
start and damages seal faces. To free the mechanical seal:
• Remove the impeller and part the seal faces, lubricate with clean water only.
• A new mechanical seal will be required if faces are damaged as the seal will leak.
Note:
Industrial gloves must be worn when working on or rotating the impeller by hand
• Never put tools etc. on the cabinet top, these could damage the surface.
• Never allow the pump to run in a dry condition.
