5.3. INSTALLATION OF THE PRESSURE LINE
The pressure line (2) conveys the liquids to be
discharged from the pump to the point of withdrawal.
To avoid dynamic flow losses, one should use a
pressure line having at least the same diameter as
the pressure port (5) of the pump.
Also,
to
facilitate
maintenance
work,
recommendable to install a shut-off cock (9) after
the pump and check valve. This is a useful feature
since it can be closed when the pump has to be
dismantled and will thus prevent the pressure line
from draining to empty.
5.4. STATIONARY INSTALLATION
With regard to the electrical connection in
the case of stationary installation, please
ensure
an
adequate
visibility
accessibility of the plug.
For stationary installation, please fasten the pump
on a suitable, solid surface. To reduce vibration, it
is recommended to apply an anti-vibration material
- for instance a rubble layer - between the pump and
the installation surface.
5.5. USING THE PUMP FOR GARDEN PONDS
AND SIMILAR PLACES
Operating the pump next to garden ponds
and similar places is generally only
admissible if no persons are in contact with
the water.
If the pump is used for garden ponds and similar
places it has to be operated using a residual current
circuit-breaker (FI switch) with a nominal trigger
current of ≤ 30mA. Please ask your electrical services
provider whether your installation site complies with
this condition.
The pump must not be used in such locations
unless it is set up firmly and flood-proof, a minimum
distance of two metres away from the border of the
water body and secured against falling into the water
by a solid holding device.
6. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
• The unit is equipped with a mains connection
cable and a mains plug. It must only be replaced by
qualified staff to avoid any danger. Please do not use
the mains connection cable to carry the pump, and
do not use this cable to pull off the plug from the
socket, either. Protect the mains connection cable
and mains plug from heat, oil or sharp edges.
• The values stated in the technical details have
to correspond to the mains voltage. The person
responsible for the installation has to make sure that
the electrical connection is earthed in compliance
with the applicable standards.
• The electrical connection has to be equipped with
a highly sensitive residual current circuit-breaker (FI
switch): Δ = 30 mA.
• If extension cables are used, their cross-section
must not be smaller than that of rubber-sheathed
cables of the H07RN-F (3 x 1,0 mm²) short code.
The mains socket and the plug-and-socket elements
have to be in splash water-proof design.

7. PUTTING INTO OPERATION
• Please observe the illustrations, too, which are
contained in the present operating instructions.
The numeric and other details included in brackets
and
below refer to these illustrations.
• Prior to putting the pump into operation for the
very first time, the pump housing should be fully
vented - i.e. filled with water - even in the case of
self-priming units. If this venting is omitted, the
pump will not suck in the liquid to be discharged.
It is highly recommendable, yet not mandatory, to
vent the intake line as well, i.e. to fill it with water.
• The pump must only be operated in the performance
range indicated on the type plate.
• Dry-running - i.e. operating the pump without
discharging water - is to be avoided since the
absence of water may cause the pump to run
hot. This may cause considerable damage on
the device. Moreover, this means that very hot
water will be enclosed within the system so that
there is a hazard of scalding. If the pump has
run hot, please pull off the mains plug and allow
the system to cool down.
• Please do not expose the pump to moisture (e.g.
when operating sprinklers). Do not expose the unit to
rain, either. Make sure that no dripping connections
are located above the pump. The pump should not
be used in wet or moist environments. Make sure
that the pump and the electrical plug connections
are arranged in a flood-proof place.
• The pump must not be running with the feeder line
closed.
• As long as the device is connected to the electrical
mains, one must never reach with one's hands into
the opening of the pump.
Each time the pump is put into operation, please
make sure that the pump is set up securely and
firmly standing. The unit must always be positioned
upright on an even surface.
Please inspect the pump visually prior to each use.
This applies in particular to the mains connection
line and the mains plug. Make sure that all screws
are firmly tightened, and verify the perfect condition
of all connections. A damaged pump must not be
used. In any case of damage, the pump has to be
inspected by qualified service staff.
Prior to the first time the pump is put into operation,
the pump housing (10) has to be fully vented. To do
so, please fill the pump housing (10) through the
filling opening (6) completely with water. Install the
equipment on a solid and level surface. Filling the
intake line accelerates the intake process.
Please check to make sure that no leakage occurs.
Subsequently, close the filling opening airtight
again. It is highly recommended to vent the suction
line (1) as well, i.e. to fill it with water. It is true that
the electrical pumps of the SPIDO series are self-
priming and can be put into operation by filling only
the pump housing with water. In this case, however,
the pump will require some time before it will have
sucked in the liquid to be pumped and proceed
to the actual discharging function. In addition, this
way of proceeding may require the pump to be
filled several times. This depends on the length
and diameter of the suction line. After filling, please
open any shutting device (9) in the pressure line, for
instance a water tap, to enable the air to escape
during sucking in.
8. ON /OFF
Plug the mains plug into a 230V AC socket.
MANUAL COMMAND
Subsequently, please start the pump by operating
the on/off switch. As soon as the liquid is being
discharged evenly and without air mixture, the
system is ready for operation. To stop the pump,
please operate the on/off switch again. You may then
close the shut-off valve in the pressure line again.
AUTOMATIC COMMAND
This model is / is not equipped with automatic
command.
This model has the necessary pressure for - if
necessary - make automation (optional).
For the automation you need an electronic or
mechanical control system that is easy to install.
The electronic control is added at the discharge port.
The mechanical control is done by a contactor and
a bladder tank.
If the pump was out of operation for some
extended period of time, the steps
described above have to be repeated for a
renewed putting into operation.
The electrical pumps of the SPIDO series are
equipped with an integrated thermal motor
protection feature. In the case of overload, the
motor will switch off independently and on again
after cooling down. For possible causes and their
elimination, please refer to the "Maintenance and
troubleshooting" section.
9. DRY-RUNNING PROTECTION
(NO INCLUDED)
In the case of dry-running or the absence of water,
the electronic pump control will cut the pump out.
This protection feature will prevent another automatic
start-up of the pump.
10. MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Prior to carrying out any maintenance work,
the pump must be separated from the
electrical mains. If you fail to separate the
unit from mains, there is a risk of an inadvertent start
of the pump.
We decline any liability for damage caused
by inappropriate repair attempts. Any
damage caused by inappropriate repair
attempts will avoid all warranty claims.
Regular maintenance and thorough care will reduce
the danger of possible malfunction and contribute to
an extension of the lifetime of your unit.
If the pump is to be put out of operation for some
extended period of time, it should be emptied
completely in by opening the water drain screw (7).
Subsequently, please flush the pump with clean
water. Then allow the pump body to dry completely
in order to prevent corrosion damage.
Water left in the pump may freeze in case of frost and
thus cause considerable damage. Please store the
pump in a dry, frost- protected place.
In the case of malfunction, you should first of all
check whether it was caused by an operating error
or some other reason which cannot be attributed to
a defect of the device - for instance a power failure.
The list below shows some possible malfunctions
of the device, possible causes and tips on their
elimination. All the measures referred to may only
be carried out with the pump being separated from
the electrical mains. If you yourself feel unable to
eliminate any of these malfunctions, please contact
the customer service department or your point of
sales. Any repair beyond the scope specified below
must only be performed by qualified staff. Please
bear in mind that all warranty claims will become
void in the case of damage caused by inappropriate
repair attempts, and that we decline any liability for
any ensuing damage.
