2 General
Please read these instructions carefully before operating this centrifugal pump. Failure to comply with the
instructions provided, negligence or improper handling invalidate the manufacturer's warranty.
The self-priming centrifugal pumps P 600/1600 W and P 600/1600 D have a large delivery capacity at only minimal
power consumption. They are used primarily for general water transfer and recirculation, pond and excavation
draining, barrel pumping etc. Undesirable constituents like sediment, fine sand or silt are abrasive and damage the
duocone seal. Use of a fine filter is recommended.
Due to their high suction capacity both models have a good priming characteristic and a short priming time.
If the level difference between suction head and delivery head is more than 5 metres, use of a suction tube with
a diameter larger than the diameter of the suction port is required.
Caution: Sand/silt damage the pump's seals. Undesirable constituents like sand, silt, dirt or other solid matter
in the water must be kept from entering the pump by installing a filter in the suction line.
This filter prevents damage to the pump.
