General information

Dear Customer,
Please read and comply with
these instructions prior to the
initial operation of your appli-
ance. Retain these operating
instructions for future
reference or for subsequent
possessors.

Proper use

This appliance has been designed for use
in private households and is not intended
for commercial use.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any
damages that may occur on account of im-
proper use or wrong operations.
The appliance is mainly intended for the
use within the house and garden.
The house & garden pumps switch on and
off automatically in case of water demand.
Thus, they are suitable for both the use in
the garden and applications inside the
house. They can be perfectly used to sup-
ply washing machines or toilet flushing
mechanisms inside the house with water,
e.g. in combination with a cistern. Moreo-
ver, the constant operating pressure of the
pumps also ensures reliable garden irriga-
tion.

cation, the maximum admissible internal

plosive substances such as petrol, petrole-
um, diluted nitrogen, greases, oils, salt wa-
ter and waste water from toilets as well as
sludgy water that has a slower flow capaci-
ty than water, should not be transported us-
ing the pump. The temperature of the deliv-
ered liquid must not exceed 35 °C.

ous pump operation (e.g. lifting device,
