SITING OF THE PUMP

WARNINGS:

Do not run against a closed valve for periods longer than 5 minutes.

The water in and around the pump must not be allowed to freeze. This

will result in pump damage.

Do not under any circumstances use the supply cord fitted, as a

means to carry or lower the pump into position on installation. Attach

a rope sling to handle.

Do not allow plastic pump parts to come into contact with solder flux,

oil or cellulose based paints, paint thinners or strippers, acid based

descalents or aggressive cleaning agents.

Never run pump whilst sucking air/water as the motor will overheat.

To prevent this happening always install pump in the vertical position

and ensure fully submerged.

When siting the pump ensure its base is raised slightly from the

bottom of the sump reducing the possibility of blocking the filter with

debris or drawing in small stones.

General

The pump must be installed in the vertical position and must be fully submerged at all

times to avoid overheating of the motor. Float switch controlled pumps may be operated

partially submerged for short periods (see float switch operation section for further details).

The pumps should be positioned away from pond plants (if applicable) to maximise flow

and prevent entanglement.

Diver

When siting these pumps in a location where organic or general debris is likely, ensure

the base is raised slightly from the bottom of the sump (eg. on a flat paving slab) to

prevent the integral inlet filter grille being frequently blocked with debris.

If the pump is not to sit on the bottom of the sump, or it is too deep, then it should be

suspended by a rope attached to the lifting eye or handle located on top of the pump.

Supersub

When siting this pump in a location where organic or general debris is likely, ensure the

pump is placed on its base on a flat horizontal surface (eg. on a paving slab) to enable

full functionality of the primary inlet filter grille, which in turn will prevent the secondary

inlet filter grille from being frequently blocked.

Supervort

When siting these pumps in a location where organic or general debris is likely, ensure

the base is raised slightly from the bottom of the sump (eg. on a flat paving slab) to

prevent the force of the pump from drawing in small stones. This will result in pump

damage.

Float Switch Operation

Selected models which include the suffix ‘A’ after the model number, are fitted with float

switches for automatic operation.

The following guide will help you get the most out of your pump.

The pump must never run dry, needing a minimum water depth of 90 mm on the

Supersub model and 100 mm on the Supervort models, at all times.

Adjustment of the float switch is achieved by lengthening or shortening the cable

through the moulded cable retention slot, which is located in the pump handle (Figs 6 and

7).

Note: When inserting cable into slot ensure it is fully engaged.

If modification of the level setting is required refer to Figures 8 and 9 and the following

chart.

Use of a Stuart non-return valve, Part No 26702 is recommended on the discharge side

to limit back flow and pump surging when draining small areas.

If the pump is required to drain, for instance, a cellar, then it must be installed in a

sump, having sufficient dimensions for the float switch to operate freely (Fig. 10), retaining

a minimum water depth as previously stated. The pump is continuously rated when fully

submerged but should only be run for short periods (10 mins) when the water drops to the

minimum level. The number of starts should not exceed 30 per hour.

Note: It is not possible to empty the sump completely, a minimum depth must remain

(Figs. 8 & 9).

PIPEWORK

WARNING

Ensure pipework from pump is independently supported to prevent forces

being transferred to outlet branch.

General

All models are supplied with a stepped hose connector (see pump connection section

for details) which can be screwed directly into the pump discharge connection.

The hose connector is suitable for a range of flexible hose sizes and can be cut to suit

the selected size. For best flow use the largest bore pipe possible minimising 90° bends.

Small pipe sizes will reduce the pump performance.

The discharge pipework must be independently supported to prevent forces being

transferred to the pump outlet branch.

Diver

These models are supplied with a non-return valve which should be screwed directly

into the pump outlet port (see pump connection section for details). The purpose of the

valve is to limit back flow and pressure on the pump and ensure discharge pipework is

always primed with water.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

WARNINGS:

The electrical installation must be carried out in accordance with the

current national electrical regulations and installed by a competent

person.

A residual current device having a rated current not exceeding 30 mA

MUST be installed in the supply circuit. This may be part of a

consumer unit or a separate unit.

Before starting work on the electrical installation, ensure the power

supply is isolated.

This appliance must be earthed.

Isolate all appliances in the water from the electrical supply before

putting your hands in the water.

The power supply cord of this pump cannot be replaced. If the cord is

damaged, the pump should be scrapped.

If the pump is used to empty a swimming pool, the pump must not be

used when people are in the water.

The standard pumps are suitable for a supply of 230V, 1 phase, 50Hz. Other

frequencies (60Hz) are available on certain models and it is therefore very important to

ensure the pump rating plate details match the supply.

All motors are thermally protected by an integral auto-resetting thermotrip and are rated

for continuous use.

Earthing

This appliance must be earthed via the supply cord.

Electrical Connection (Supersub & Supervort range)

The motor is provided with a factory fitted supply cord and plug. This must be

connected to the mains supply via a 13 Amp double pole switched, socket outlet in

compliance with BS 1363-2.

The socket outlet should be mounted in an easily accessible position and should be

labelled if confusion is possible, to allow easy identification of the pump isolating switch.

Electrical Connection (Diver range)

The motor is provided with a factory fitted supply cord with bared ends. This must be

permanently connected to the fixed wiring of the mains supply. Means for disconnection

must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.

A suitable method of connection would be via a double pole switched, fused connection

unit complying with BS 1363-4, protected with a fuse (see fuse section).

The connection unit should be mounted in an easily accessible position and should be

labelled if confusion is possible, to allow easy identification of the pump isolating switch.

Wiring (Supersub & Supervort range)

The moulded plug fitted to this appliance is not waterproof - keep dry.

The supply cord is factory fitted with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse, the value of

which is indicated on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an

ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse must be used of the same rating, marked thus, . If

the fuse cover is detachable, never use the plug with the cover omitted. If a replacement

fuse cover is required, ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the

plug (i.e. red or orange).

If the plug supplied is not suitable for your socket outlet, it should be cut off and

destroyed.

WARNING: A plug with bared flexible cords is hazardous if engaged in a

live socket outlet.

The end of the flexible cord should be suitably prepared and correct plug fitted, as

follows:

The wires in this mains lead (supply cord) are coloured in accordance with the following

code:

Green & Yellow: Earth Blue: Neutral Brown: Live

As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the

terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the

plug which is marked with the letter 'E' or by the earth symbol or coloured green or

green and yellow.

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with

the letter 'N' or coloured black or blue.

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked

with the letter 'L' or coloured brown or red.
