Safety instructions

Danger of death
Violating these safety instructions may re-
sult in death through electrocution.
 Check the power cord with mains plug
for damage before every use. If the
power cord is damaged, please arrange
immediately for the exchange by an au-
thorized customer service or a skilled
electrician.
 All electrical sockets should be fixed in
an area that is protected against floods.
 Unsuitable extension cables can be
hazardous. Only use extension cables
outdoors which have been approved for
this purpose and labelled with a suffi-
cient cable cross-section.
The plug and coupling of the extension
cable used must be spray watertight.
 Do not use the power cord to carry/
transport the machine.
 To separate the machine from the
mains, pull the plug and not the power
cord.
 Do not scrape the power cord across
sharp edges and ensure that it does not
get pressed.
 Install the appliance in a safe position at
a place protected against flooding.
 Do not operate the appliance continu-
ously in rain or during humid weather.
 The voltage indicated on the type plate
must correspond to the voltage of the
electrical source.
 To avoid risks, all repairs and replace-
ment of spare parts may only be carried
out by the authorised customer service
personnel.
 The water in the pump heats up if there
is no water supply or the pressure side
is closed and can cause injury if it flows
out!
The pump may be operated for maxi-
mum 3 minutes in this operating status.
 Do not use this pump as an immersion
pump.

 When using the pump near to pools, gar-
den ponds or fountains, observe a mini-
mum distance of 2m and safeguard the
device against slipping into the water.
 Follow the rules for electrical safety of
equipment:
Only operate pumps near to pools, gar-
den ponds or fountains, if they are
equipped with an earth leakage circuit
breaker with a nominal error current of
max. 30 mA. It is not permitted to acti-
vate the pump, if persons are in the pool
or garden pond.
For safety reasons, we recommend that
you operate the appliance only via a earth-
leakage circuit breaker (max. 30 mA).
The electrical connection of the system
may only be performed by a qualified
electrician. Please follow the respective
national regulations!
In Austria pumps to be used in swim-
ming pools and garden ponds should
be equipped with a fixed connection line
according to ÖVE B/EN 60555 Part 1 to
3; power supply should be via a ÖVE-
tested isolating transformer whereby
the secondary nominal voltage should
not exceed 230V.
 This device is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with re-
duced physical, sensory or mental abil-
ities or lacking experience and/or
knowledge, unless they are supervised
by a person responsible for their safety
or are instructed by these persons on
the use of the device. Children should
be supervised, to ensure that they do
not play with the device.
