Air should be escaping all the time through this valve, BUT the emersion
MUST be gradual (Pic L).
You should hear air escaping and a few spits of water from the priming valve
outlet. If the air stops escaping before the priming valve outlet reaches the
water, remove the Pump from the water and repeat the priming process
SLOWLY.
After the water level is up to the actual handle of the Pump, the Pump can
be fully lowered at any speed to the base of the pit or tank.
Note: If the Pump is lowered too quickly at the beginning of the process,
the pressure inside the Pump will close the priming valve and the Pump may
not be sufficiently primed and it may not Pump water.
Manual Mode. The Pump can be operated regardless of the water level by
lifting the float into a vertical position. If retained in this position the Pump
will continue to operate without turning off as the water level drops. In this
condition the Pump must be manually turned off at the power point when
the minimum water level is achieved, being approx 30 - 50 mm. The Pump
should not be left running when the minimum water level is reached.
Operation
IMPORTANT: Before submersing the Pump in water, ensure the power
cable is unwrapped and the cable is clear of any damp locations.
WARNING: DO NOT put hands or other body parts into the water when the
Pump is connected to the 240V mains power. In a fault condition, this could
result in electicution.
Note: The Pump must be used with a residual current device with a rated
residual current of 30mA or less.
Note: Do not use the Pump in applications in which people or animals are
present in the water during operation. It is prohibited to operate the
equipment if a person or animal is in the danger area. Do Not use in
swimming pools, spa’s or similar applications.
