reasons. Furthermore, this will render the guarantee/warranty void!
• The product is not a toy. Children cannot judge the dangers involved when handling electrical devices.
• The product corresponds to protection type IPX4.
• The product is designed according to protection class I. Only a proper protective contact mains socket
of the public mains must be used as a voltage source (for the operating voltage of the garden pump, see
chapter „Technical Data").
• Do not leave packaging material unattended. It may become a dangerous toy for children.
• Handle the product with care; impacts, shock or fall even from low heights will damage it.

b) Site of Setup, Connection

• Operate the product in a way that it is out of reach of children.
• Using the product close to garden ponds, wells, swimming pools, fountains, etc. is only permissible if
the product is operated by a leakage current protection switch (FI-protection switch) with a nominal error
current of <=30 mA).
If persons are present in a pool, swimming pond or garden pond, the garden pump must not be operated
with the water in it.
In Austria, the product must only be installed and operated close to swimming pools and garden ponds
if a suitable ÖVE-tested safety separating transformer is switched in front of it in addition to the leakage
current protection switch.
• There must not be any ambience temperatures around or below freezing (=<0 °C) at the operating site.
The water in the garden pump would freeze and the higher volume of ice destroy the garden pump. Store
the product dry and protected from frost in winter.
• If you are using an extension cord or if placement of cables to the garden pump is required, these cables
must not have a cross section of less than the garden pump's. Only use extension lines with protective
ground that are suitable for outdoor use.
• Ensure that electrical plug connections are in flooding-safe areas; otherwise, there is a danger to life
from electric shock! If required, use suitable protective housings for the plug connections.
• Protect the mains plug from wetness! Never touch the mains plug with wet hands! There is danger to
life from electric shock!
