7. RECOMMENDED SETUP
Cleaning
Use a moist cloth to wipe down the pump housing. Allow to dry
thoroughly before storing in a dry location that is protected from bad
weather conditions.
Storage
If there is danger of frost, dismantle the device and accessories, clean
and store them in a place protected from frost.
Dismantle and store
1. Disconnect the device from the mains
supply.
2. Fully open any shut-off mechanisms
(spray nozzles, valves, etc.) in the
pressure line so that the air can escape
without obstruction.
3. Completely empty the pump by
unscrewing the water drain plug.
4. Dismantle the suction and pressure lines
from the device.
5. Store device in a frost-free room
(at least 5 °C).
WARNING! MAKE SURE THE PUMP IS DISCONNECTED
FROM ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY BEFORE
PERFORMING MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES.
WARNING! THE INPUT HOSE OR PIPE SHOULD BE
LOW ENOUGH IN THE WATER TO ENSURE THAT IF
THE WATER LEVEL FALLS, THE PUMP WILL NOT RUN DRY.
ENSURE THAT THIS IS CHECKED WHEN IN OPERATION.
WARNING! MAKE SURE THAT THE DEVICE AND
CONNECTED ACCESSORIES ARE DEPRESSURIZED
BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY WORK ON THE DEVICE.
MAINTENANCE
Positioning the hose or pipe
Position the input hose or pipe so that it rises from the water drawing
source to the pump. Where possible, avoid positioning the input hose
or pipe higher than the pump, as this would delay the escape of air
bubbles from the input hose or pipe and impede the priming process
(see section ‘Priming the pump’ for description on priming the pump)
• The suction line should be as short as possible, since the conveying
capacity decreases as the length of the line increases.
Note: A leaking hose or pipe will draw in air and therefore not draw in
any water.
Note: A non-return valve is recommended so that the water does not
run off when the pump is shut off.
Note: A suction in-line lter with a 3000l/hour min ow rate, and 150 to
250 micron mesh must be used to protect the pump from sand, dirt etc.
The Ozito PAPF-001 Pre-lter or equivalent is available from Bunnings
stores.
Note: During the initial set-up, please purge all air from the system via
the discharge outlet highest in the system.
