2 Use
2.1 Before using
Before first using the pump please ensure that the packaging is intact and that there are no signs of damage
during transit. Any signs of damage should be reported to the delivery company and to the supplier within two
(2) days of receiving the goods. Ensure that all parts on the packing list are included in the delivery. Contact
the seller immediately if there are any problems with the delivery.
2.2 Installation
The pump is mounted to a vertical surface through the two holes in the pump body. The pump flanges have
either ¾” or 1” threads to which various kinds of suitable pipes or connectors can be fitted. Be sure to check
that all connections are tight.
2.3 Using the pump
The pump is ready for use as soon as it is installed. The pump can lift up to 4 metres without a bottom valve
fitted to the suction line, and up to 8 metres with a bottom valve. Without height differences the length of the
suction pipe can be tens of metres. Please note that the length of the suction pipe and the height difference
between the pump and the water source affect the pumping capacity.
If the pump is used for pumping water and there is a risk of freezing, make sure that the pump is emptied of
water thoroughly after use. If the pump is permanently attached to an oil container make sure that the container
cannot be unintentionally drained through the siphon effect. An accessory designed to prevent draining due
to the siphon effect is available for containers with a 2” internal thread from Nira’s online store (article P61808).
