Introduction
Prior to using this pump you must ensure that:
• The pump is installed in a safe and dry environment
• The pump enclosure has adequate drainage in the event of leakage
• Any transport plugs are removed
• The pipe-work is correctly sealed and supported
• The pump is primed correctly
• The power supply is correctly connected
• All steps have been taken for safe operation
Appropriate details for all of these items are contained in the following Installation and
Operating Instructions. Read these in their entirety before switching on this pump.
If you are uncertain as to any of these Installation and Operating Instructions please contact your Davey dealer or the appropriate Davey office as listed on the back of this document.
Before installing your new pump, please read all instructions carefully as failures caused by incorrect installation or operation are not covered by the guarantee. Your CY Electric Pump is designed to handle clean water. The system should not be used for any other purpose without specific referral to Davey. The use of the pump to pump flammable, corrosive and other materials of a hazardous nature is specifically excluded.
Choosing a Site
Choose a site with a firm base as close to the water source as possible with correct power supply. Make sure your pump is always connected to an adequate, reliable source of clean water.
Housing your Davey Pump
To protect your pump from the weather, make sure the pump house is both water proof, frost free and has adequate ventilation.
The pump should be mounted on a firm base allowing for drainage, to avoid damage to flooring etc., that over time may occur from leaking pipe joints or pump seals.
Do not mount the pump vertically.
WARNING: Some insects, such as small ants, find electrical devices attractive for various reasons. If your pump enclosure is susceptible to insect infestation you should implement a suitable pest control plan.

Power Connection
In accordance with AS/NZS 60335.2.41 we are obliged to inform you that this pump is not to be used by children or infirm persons and must not be used as a toy by children.
The electrical connections and checks must be made by a qualified electrician and comply with applicable local standards.
Connect lead to power supply designated on pump label, do not use long extension leads as they cause substantial voltage drop, poor pump performance and may cause motor overload.
Pipe Connections
For best performance use P.V.C. or polythene pipe at least the same diameter as the pump’s inlet. Larger diameter pipe may be used to minimise resistance to flow when pumping longer distances.
Use unions at pipe connections to enable easy removal and servicing. Use sufficient tape to ensure airtight seal and hand tighten only, do not screw connections all the way into suction port.
To prevent strain on pump thread always support heavy inlet and outlet pipes.
Lay suction pipe at a constant gradient to avoid air pockets which may reduce pump efficiency.
NOTE: Suction leaks are the largest cause of poor pump performance and are difficult to detect. Ensure all connections are completely sealed using thread tape only. Do not use sealing compounds or pipe dope.

Where to use Check Valves and Foot Valves
Installations with a suction lift require a good quality foot valve to avoid loss of prime.
Installations with flooded suction require a gate valve so water supply can be turned off for pump removal and servicing.
Installations with overhead tanks and pipe work require a one-way check valve to avoid water draining back past the pump while not in operation and causing possible pump damage.
Priming and Operation
1. Ensure outlet nearest to pump is open.
3. Switch on.
2. Fill pump body and suction line through priming plug hole located above suction inlet and replace plug.
4. Prime should establish almost immediately with a strong flow of water, however, in some installations it may be necessary to repeat the above operation to remove all air from the system.
WARNING:
DO NOT RUN DRY.
DO NOT RUN WITH LOSS OF PRIME.
DO NOT PUMP WATER CONTAINING ABRASIVE MATERIALS.

Trouble Shooting Check List
MOTOR OPERATING BUT NOT PUMPING:
1. Suction line and pump body not filled with water.
2. Leaking foot valve.
3. Air leaks in suction lines or suction pipe not under water.
4. Air trapped in suction lines (also possible with flooded suction) due to uneven rise in piping (eliminate humps and hollows).
5. No water at source or water level too low.
6. Valve on suction or delivery lines closed.
MOTOR NOT RUNNING:
1. Power not connected.
2. Supply voltage too low.
3. Overload tripped.
4. Motor not free to turn e.g. a blocked impeller.
5. Internal motor fault.
*NOTE: For protection, the Davey pump motor is fitted with an automatic reset thermal overload, constant tripping of this overload indicates a problem e.g. low voltage at pump, excessive temperature (above 50°C) in pump enclosure.
WARNING: Automatic reset thermal overloads will allow the pump to restart without warning. Always disconnect the pump motor from the electrical supply before maintenance or repairs.
WARNING: When servicing or attending pump, always ensure power is switched off and lead unplugged. Electrical connections should be serviced only by qualified persons.
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.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE petroleum based fluids or solvents (e.g. Oils,
Kerosene, Turpentine, Thinners, etc) on the plastic pump components or seal components.
WARNING: Do not use hydrocarbon based or hydrocarbon propelled sprays around the electrical components of this pump.
