4.10.5 FIRST FILLING WITH MIXING WATER
4.10.5.a Filling the tanks with mixing water (fi g. 33)
CAUTION: In the event of pump failure, check that there is water in the pump body (see chapter
4.3.3).
- Fill with water through the water inlet pipe
To fi ll the tank, use an external water source introducing water through the hole L.
You can fi ll from both water tanks positioned opposite each other as they are connected.
- Filling with water using the transfer pump
CAUTION: Check that the pre-fi lter is fi tted inside the fi ller neck A of the pump, and always use the
fi lter F during suction from water sources, since the pump may take in small parts that
could damage the pump propeller.
- Remove the closing cap C checking that the pre-fi lter is fi tted, insert the fl exible suction hose E into the
suction pipe fi ller neck A of the pump.
- Insert the tube leading to the tank into the delivery fi ller neck H.
- Move the valve B to the correct position (with delivery to tank 2).
- Position the fl exible suction hose E in the relative water source (reservoir, external tank, ditch etc.).
- Open both covers L to prevent the water tank from swelling.
- Check that the suction fi lter F is completely immersed (the maximum difference in height from the union A
must be 4-5 m).
- Start the engine.
- Activate the transfer pump (engine rpm ideally about 2000).
- Wait until the tank is full (when water starts fl owing from the water inlet pipe and from the tank).
