Indledning
This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient operation and maintenance of your Pedrollo PKm60 Peripheral Booster Water Pump. Please read this manual thoroughly before installation, operation, or maintenance to ensure proper use and to prevent injury or damage.
The Pedrollo PKm60 pump is designed for use with clean water that does not contain abrasive particles and liquids that are not chemically aggressive towards the pump's materials. It is ideal for domestic use, including water distribution in combination with small pressure sets and for garden and allotment irrigation. For optimal performance and longevity, the pump should be installed in an enclosed environment or at least sheltered from inclement weather.
Sikkerhedsoplysninger
ADVARSEL: Manglende overholdelse af disse sikkerhedsinstruktioner kan resultere i elektrisk stød, brand, alvorlig personskade eller død.
- Afbryd altid pumpen fra strømforsyningen, før du udfører installations-, vedligeholdelses- eller reparationsarbejde.
- Ensure the electrical installation complies with all local and national electrical codes. The pump requires a 220V 60Hz power supply.
- The pump must be properly grounded to prevent electric shock.
- Brug ikke pumpen, hvis netledningen eller stikket er beskadiget.
- Do not pump flammable, explosive, or corrosive liquids. This pump is designed for clean water only.
- Protect the pump from freezing temperatures. Freezing water inside the pump can cause severe damage.
- Ensure adequate ventilation around the pump to prevent overheating.
- Hold børn og uautoriserede personer væk fra pumpen under drift.
- For complex installations or if you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician or plumber.

Opsætning og installation
Korrekt installation er afgørende for pumpens ydeevne og levetid. Det anbefales, at installationen udføres af en kvalificeret fagmand.
- Beliggenhed: Install the pump in a dry, well-ventilated area, protected from direct sunlight, rain, and freezing temperatures. An enclosed environment is ideal.
- Montering: Securely mount the pump on a stable, level surface using appropriate fasteners. Ensure there is sufficient space around the pump for ventilation and maintenance access.
- Rørforbindelser:
- Connect the suction pipe to the pump's inlet (typically marked "IN" or with an arrow pointing towards the pump). Ensure the suction pipe is airtight to prevent air leaks, which can cause the pump to lose prime.
- Connect the discharge pipe to the pump's outlet (typically marked "OUT" or with an arrow pointing away from the pump).
- Use appropriate fittings (1 inch NPT) and sealants to ensure leak-free connections. Avoid putting strain on the pump's connections from the piping.
- Installer en fodventil med en si for enden af sugerøret i vandkilden for at forhindre snavs i at trænge ind i pumpen og for at opretholde spædningen.
- Elektrisk tilslutning:
- Ensure the power supply matches the pump's requirements (220V 60Hz).
- Connect the pump to a dedicated circuit protected by a circuit breaker or fuse of appropriate rating.
- Kontroller korrekt jordforbindelse for at forhindre elektriske farer.
- Spædning af pumpen: Before initial operation, the pump must be primed.
- Remove the priming plug (usually located on the top of the pump casing).
- Fyld pumpen casinhelt med rent vand, indtil det løber over.
- Sæt spædeproppen sikkert på igen.
- Open any valves on the suction and discharge lines.
Betjeningsvejledning
Når pumpen er installeret og klargjort, er den klar til drift.
- Indledende opstart: After priming, connect the pump to the power supply. The pump should start immediately and begin pumping water.
- Overvågning:
- Observe the pump during the first few minutes of operation for any unusual noises, vibrations, or leaks.
- Check the pressure gauge (if installed) to ensure the pump is operating within its specified working pressure range (6 bar for PK 60).
- Ensure a steady flow of water. If the pump runs without delivering water, shut it off immediately to prevent damage from dry running. Re-prime the pump.
- Kontinuerlig drift: The pump is designed for continuous duty within its specified performance limits. Avoid operating the pump outside these limits.
- Nedlukning: To turn off the pump, disconnect it from the power supply. If the pump will be out of use for an extended period, especially in cold weather, follow the winterization procedures in the Maintenance section.
Opretholdelse
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your Pedrollo pump.
- Regelmæssig inspektion: Kontrollér pumpen regelmæssigt for tegn på lækager, korrosion eller skader på casing or electrical components.
- Renhed: Keep the pump and its surroundings clean and free from debris. Ensure ventilation openings are not obstructed.
- Fodventil/si: Inspect and clean the foot valve and strainer regularly to prevent blockages and ensure unrestricted water flow into the pump.
- Vinterklargøring (til kolde klimaer): If the pump is installed in an area subject to freezing temperatures and will not be used, it must be drained to prevent damage.
- Afbryd strømmen til pumpen.
- Open the drain plug (if present) or disconnect the suction and discharge pipes to allow all water to drain from the pump casing og rør.
- Store the pump in a warm, dry place if possible, or ensure it is completely dry before reassembly.
- Professionel service: For any internal repairs or complex issues, contact a qualified service technician. Do not attempt to disassemble the motor or pump head beyond basic maintenance.
Fejlfinding
This section outlines common issues and their potential solutions. Always disconnect power before troubleshooting.
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Pumpen starter ikke. | No power, tripped circuit breaker, faulty wiring, seized impeller. | Check power supply, reset breaker, inspect wiring (by qualified person), check for obstructions in impeller. |
| Pumpen kører, men intet vand eller lavt flow. | Pump not primed, air leak in suction line, clogged foot valve/strainer, low water level in source, discharge valve closed. | Re-prime pump, check suction line for leaks, clean foot valve/strainer, ensure adequate water in source, open discharge valve. |
| Pumpen støjer eller vibrerer for meget. | Air in pump/suction line, cavitation, loose mounting, worn bearings. | Re-prime pump, check for air leaks, ensure adequate water supply, tighten mounting bolts, contact service for bearing issues. |
| Pumpen tænder og slukker ofte. | Pressure switch malfunction, small leak in system, waterlogged pressure tank (if applicable). | Inspect pressure switch, check for leaks in plumbing, inspect pressure tank. |
