NOTE: Suction leaks are the largest cause of poor pump performance and are difcult to detect.

Ensure all connections are completely sealed using thread.

NOTE: Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Abrasive Materials

The pumping of abrasive materials will cause damage to the pressure system which will then not be

covered by the guarantee.

NOTE: Your pump is designed to operate as an automatic pressure system.

The pressure tank will require a specic precharge air pressure dependent upon model.

While your pressure tank may have been precharged in manufacture, the precharge pressure should

be checked upon installation and every 6 months thereafter. Follow the instructions on the tank. As a

guide, the precharge settings are listed below:–

NOTE: For protection, single phase motors up to 2.2kW are tted with an automatic “over

temperature” cut-out. Constant tripping of this overload device indicates a problem e.g. low voltage

at pump, excessive temperature (above 40°C) in pump enclosure.

WARNING: When servicing or attending pump, always ensure power is switched off and lead

unplugged. Electrical connections should be serviced only by qualied persons. If the electrical

supply lead of this pressure system is damaged, it must only be replaced by authorised Davey

service personnel as special tools are required.

Care should also be taken when servicing or disassembling pump to avoid possible injury from hot

pressurised water. Unplug pump, relieve pressure by opening a tap on the discharge side of the

pump and allow any hot water in the pump to cool before attempting to dismantle.

WARNING: Automatic resets may allow the pump to restart without warning. Always disconnect the

pump motor from the electrical supply before maintenance or repairs.

WARNING: Do not use hydrocarbon based or hydrocarbon propelled sprays around the electrical

components of this pump.
