   • 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.
   • Verify proper grounding to prevent electrical hazards.
5. Priming ponp lan: Before initial operation, the pump must be primed.
   • Remove the priming plug (usually located on the top of the pump casing).
   • Ranpli ponp c laasing completely with clean water until it overflows.

2. Siveyans:
   • 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.
3. Operasyon kontinyèl: The pump is designed for continuous duty within its specified performance limits. Avoid operating the pump outside these limits.
4. Fèmen: 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.
