akage occurs. Subsequently, close the filling opening airtight again. It is highly recommended to vent the suction
line (2) as well, i.e. to fill it with water. It is true that the electrical pumps of the T.I.P. GP 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

d diameter of the suction line. After filling, please open any shutting device (7) in the pressure line, for
instanc
e a water ta

Plug the mains plug
into a 230V AC socket. Subsequently, please start the pump by operating the on/off switch.
As soon s the liqu

id is being discharged evenly and without air mixture, the system is ready for operation. To

If the pump was ou

repeated for a rene

T
he electrical pumps of the T.I.P. GP series are equipped with an integrated thermal motor protection feature. In
th
e case of overload, the motor will switch off independently and on again after cooling down. For possible causes
and their eliminatio

The present model is capable of rendering the pressure which may be required for automation, should need be. In
th
is context, the term of "automation" means that the liquid being discharged can be used just as if taken from the
water mains: Simply by opening or shutting water taps or consumer elements.
For automation, you will need an electronic or mechanic control system which can be installed ver
c
onveniently. As an additional benefit, some of the control systems provide a very effective protection from
damage caused by
dry-running since they will cut out the pump in the case of lack of water.
Our range of acces
sories contains some particularly reliable and proven control systems. For detaile
please refer to www

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 maintenan
ce and thorough care will reduce the danger of possible malfunction and contribute to an
extension of the life
time 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
ope
ning the water d
rain screw (10). Subsequentl

Water left in the pu

a dry, frost- protect
ed place.
