Pentax CAB 300/01 Self-priming Centrifugal Pump Installation and usage

This pump must be placed in a well-ventilated, non-dusty area, protected from the weather. The ambient temperature should be between 5 and 40°C. The pump must be securely fixed using the provided mounting holes on its feet or support base.

For optimal performance, ensure that the pipes are clean and properly connected to avoid stresses and vibrations. The suction pipe should be as short as possible and directed upwards towards the pump to prevent air pockets. A check valve and a flow regulator gate valve should be installed on the delivery pipe to manage the flow and pressure.
