4.2 General Safety Informa-
tion
Children, juveniles and persons not fam-
ilar with the instructions are not permit-
ted to operate the pump.
When used in swimming pools and gar-
den ponds and their range of protection,
the regulations according to DIN VDE
0100 -702 are to be observed.
Also all local regulations pertaining to
the safe operation of submersible pumps
must be followed.
The following residual risks do principally
exist when operating
pumps and can not be fully eliminated –
even by employing safety devices.

A
Hazard by ambient conditions!

Do not use the pump in hazardous
locations or near inflammable liquids
and gases!

A
Danger: Hot water!
If the shut-off pressure of the pressure
switch cannot be reached due to poor
pressure conditions or a defective pres-
sure switch the water can heat up within
the pump as a result of internal circula-
tion.
Through this the pump and the connec-
tion lines can become damaged or
leaky, allowing hot water to escape.
Danger of scalding!

Do not operate the pump against a
closed pressure line for longer than
5 minutes.

Unplug the pump and allow to cool.
A specialist must check the system
to make sure it is in perfect working
order before it can be used again.

B
Danger! Risk of electric shock!

Do not direct water jet directly
against the pump or other electrical
parts! Risk of fatal electric shock!

Do not touch the plug with wet
hands! To unplug always pull at the
plug, not the power cable.

Connect only to an earthed outlet
that is properly installed, earthed
and tested. Mains voltage and fuse
protection must correspond to those
stated in the "Technical Specica-
tions".
