SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS….cont
Ensure the pump is installed so that it cannot move or slip during operation.
Always check the pump regularly, and take it out of service if the water is likely to
freeze.
Never allow the pump to run without water flowing through it.
The pump should not be used where aquatic life is present such as in domestic, or
commercial ponds, or similar.
Never use the water pump to pump anything other than water, it should not be used
to pump flammable, corrosive or other potentially damaging or dangerous liquids.
Never immerse the pump in water.
Allow enough room around the pump whilst it is running to ensure that there is
enough air flow to cool the motor.
Ensure that your hands are dry when dealing with mains electricity.
Always rinse the pump with clean water and fully drain after each use.
Use only a three-prong, UK grounded mains supply socket.
Understand the operating environment; Before each use the operator should assess,
understand and where possible reduce the specific risks and dangers associated
with the operating environment. Bystanders should also be made aware of any risks
associated with the operating environment.
Children under the age of 8 should not operate, or play with the water pump.
Cleaning and user maintenance should not be carried out by children, unless di-
rectly supervised.
The water pump can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and per-
sons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance in a safe way, and understand the hazards involved.
Never use flammable or corrosive liquids to clean the water pump.
If a problem with the water pump is experienced, or if the mains lead or plug be-
come damaged, contact your distributor for repair.
If the water pump is used in a place of work all rules and laws etc. relating to the use
of portable electrical appliances should be followed.
Every SIP water pump is carefully tested and packed during its assembly, on receiv-
ing the pump, check that the pump has not been damaged during transportation;
If the pump is damaged, immediately inform your distributor, and, do not put the
pump into operation until the damage has been repaired or the item replaced.
WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock!
CAUTION: The warnings and cautions mentioned in this user manual can not cover all possi-
ble conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that
common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be
applied.

INSTALLATION / OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Warning: The water pump should be connected to the mains supply via
an RCD (residual current device) with an operating current ≤30MA to
ensure that the power is cut should any problems occur.
When installing, please ensure your SIP water pump is disconnected from electrical
supply to prevent possible injury to people and / or damage due to un-wanted start
up.
Note: The hose can be fitted directly to the pump if the hose has the cor-
rect male 1” BSP thread, alternatively; follow the instructions below to fit
the hose by means of a hose adaptor.
Fit the 1” inlet and outlet adaptors to the pump (see below).
Fit the inlet and outlet hoses over the adaptors and secure with a relevant pipe
clip where necessary.
Sit the end of the suction hose into the area to be cleared and the outlet hose
to where the water is to be pumped to.
Note: Solid wall / super tough hose should be used instead of lay flat to
ensure the pump will work closer to its capacity.
Prior to use the pump will need to be primed:
Remove the priming port bung (see page 10 & 12).
Pour water through the port until it is full.
The amount of water needed will depend on different factors such as length of
hose etc.
Note: The pump may need to be primed after every time the pump is
stopped (depending on different factors). The use of an NRV (non return
valve) on the suction hose will reduce this issue.
