Start Up Instructions; Prior To Start-Up - Astrapool VICTORIA PLUS SILENT VS Manuel

For pumps with a single-phase motor:
• Thermal protection is incorporated.
• Use a motor guard with magneto-thermal protection.
• The adjustment data for the thermal relay is to be used as a guideline, as the motor is already fitted with
protection.
• For 230 V, use a H07 RN-F3 type connection sleeve with a cable section that adapts to the power of the
motor and to the length of the cable.
• For AC, use a H07 RN-F3 type connection sleeve with a cable section that adapts to the power of the motor
and the length of the cable.
• The mains cable may only be connected by skilled, authorised personnel.
4. START-UP INSTRUCTIONS

PRIOR TO START-UP

- Carry out the following operations before starting the pump:
1. Remove the pre-filter cap by unscrewing the nut holding it in place (Fig. 5).
2. Fill the pump with water through the pre-filter until it rises up through the suction pipe.
3. Should the basket be removed during these operations, do not forget to replace it to prevent large
particles from entering the pump that could block it.
4. Check that the mains voltage and frequency correspond with those indicated on the pump
characteristics plate.
- Fit the pre-filter cap and screw on tight, not forgetting to fit the seal in its housing (Fig. 5).
- The pumps must not be run without the pre-filter having first been filled with water. Where this is
not the case, the mechanical gasket may be damaged, leading to a loss of water.
START-UP
- Open all the valves and connect the motor.
- Activate the self-priming and wait a reasonable time for this to be completed.
