Electrical Power Surge Protection
An electrical power surge or spike can travel on the supply lines and cause
serious damage to your electrical equipment.
If the installation is subject to electrical power surges or lightning we
strongly recommend the use of suitable additional surge protection devices
on ALL electrical equipment.
In accordance with AS 3350.2.41 we are obliged to inform you that this
pump is not to be used by children or inrm persons and must not be used
as a toy by children.
Pipe Connections
For best performance use
P.V.C. or polythene pipes at
least the same diameter as the
pump’s inlet and delivery outlet
openings. Larger diameter
pipe may be used to minimise
resistance to ow when pumping
longer distances.
Use unions at pipe connections to enable easy
removal and servicing. Use sufcient tape to
ensure airtight seal and hand
tighten only. To prevent strain on pump threads
always support heavy inlet and outlet pipes. If
there is a likelihood the water supply
may contain solid particles such as pieces of plant
or vegetable matter, a lter should be installed
before the pump to avoid blocking of water ways. Lay suction pipe at a
constant gradient to avoid air pockets which may reduce pump efciency.
Do not use pipe thread sealing compounds on any part of this
pump. ONLY use Teon sealing tape.
NOTE: Suction leaks are the largest cause of poor pump
performance and are difcult to detect. Ensure all connections
are completely sealed using thread tape only.
NOTE: For protection, the Davey pump motors are tted with an automatic
reset thermal overload, constant tripping of this overload indicates a
problem e.g. low voltage at pump, excessive temperature (above 50°C) in
pump enclosure.
