IBO QB-60 User Manual

Surface pumps
and
water booster sets
instruction manual
NOTE read the manual prior to commencement of use. For safety
reasons, the device can only be operated by persons well-familiarised
with the manual.
NOTE: the manual is the primary part of the purchase and sale contract. The
user’s failure to observe the instructions included in the manual is a breach of
the contract and excludes any complaints arising from potential device failure
caused by the use that is inconsistent with instructions of its use.
NOTE: prior to start of the device, please make sure that the capacity
of the well from which you are going to pump the water is sufficient,
i.e. whether the efficiency of the purchased pump is not too high in
relation to the well capacity. Installation of the pump that is too large
can stop the water flow in the suction pipe and result in “dry” pump
operation - without water. Pumps with capacities of 100 l/min and
higher require new, efficient wells !
This equipment is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced motor, sensory or mental capacities, or
persons without experience or not familiarised with the equipment,
unless it is performed under supervision or according to the
instruction regarding operation provided by persons responsible for
their safety.
Attention should be paid so that children do not play with the
equipment.

Summary

Application and Safety Warnings

Manual Reading and Safety

Read manual before use; device operated only by familiarized persons for safety.

Contractual Importance of Manual

Manual is primary part of contract; failure to follow instructions breaches contract.

Well Capacity and Pump Sizing

Ensure well capacity is sufficient for pump; oversized pumps can cause dry operation.

User Limitations and Supervision

Not for persons with reduced capacities or without experience, unless supervised.

Application and Operational Limits

Pump Application Scope

Surface and booster pumps for household water supply; can increase pressure up to 3 bars.

Negative Pressure Calculation

Negative pressure influenced by vertical distance and suction pipe length/diameter.

Prohibited Suction Pipe Diameter

Using suction pipes with diameter lower than 1” is prohibited and voids warranty.

Water Quality Requirements

Device is for pumping clean water; sand causes wear and requires paid repair.

Device Installation Guidelines

Installation Environment

Install in a closed ventilated room on a levelled plane, protected from humidity and frost.

Power Supply and Earthing

Power supply must be 230V/50Hz with earthing; manufacturer not liable for lack of proper earthing.

Suction Pipe Connection

Connect suction pipe with flexible non-collapsible hose to avoid stress transfer to the pump.

Suction Hose Type Restriction

Do not use anti-vibration hoses with metal plait on suction side to prevent failure.

Electrical and Startup Procedures

Suction Pipe Integrity

Suction pipe must be tight; leaks cause air suction and pump failure.

System Flooding Before Start

Fill suction pipe and pump with water before starting to prevent seizure and motor damage.

Electrical Network Protection

Network requires overcurrent switch (e.g., M611) and residual current device (max 30 mA).

Initial Startup Operation

First start with open taps to pump out air; close taps when pressure switch stops motor.

Pressure Switch Adjustment and Tank Maintenance

Pressure Switch Adjustment

Adjust switch-on/off pressure by means of screws (range 1.5-4 bar, min difference 1.5 bar).

Membrane Tank Air Pressure

Check tank air pressure quarterly; fill to 0.2 bar below switch-on pressure, max 3 bar.

Tank Air Pressure Consequences

Improper tank air pressure causes overload, motor failure, or frequent switch-on/off.

Filter Maintenance

Check filter condition periodically; soiled filters dampen flow and can cause failure.

Storage, Disposal, and Compliance

Protection Against Frost

Protect pump/booster set against frost; damage from frost is not subject to warranty repair.

Storage of Unused Devices

For periods exceeding one day, unplug; prevent flooding from leaks by ensuring submersion.

Pump Unclogging Procedure

Certain pump types require unclogging after standstill by moving the shaft or rotor.

Product Disposal

Dispose of used product via selective waste collection systems or return to distributor.
