4. Safety Instructions

Read the operating instructions carefully and especially observe the safety information. If you do
not follow the safety instructions and information on proper handling in this manual, we assume
no liability for any resulting personal injury or damage to property. Such cases will invalidate the
warranty/guarantee.
• Unauthorized conversion and/or modification of the device are inadmissible because of safety and
approval reasons (CE).
• The use of the pump is authorized only with residual current – protect switch (max. residual current
30 mA according to the relevant VDE 702 regulations).
• The voltage indicated on the type label must correspond to the used power supply voltage.
• Keep electrical devices out of reach of children. Be especially careful if children are around. Children
could try to introduce objects into the device, this represents a life-threatening electric shock. This
product is not a toy and should be kept out of reach of children.
• Persons must not stand in the delivery medium of the pump during operation.
• Make sure that all electrical connectors are located in areas protected against floods and weather
influences.
• The installation location of the pump must not be changed as long as the pump is in operation.
• Make sure that all electrical connections, connecting cables between the pump and possible extension
cables are in accordance with the instructions of use.
• Make sure that the ground wire (yellow/green) is not interrupted neither in the power line, in an eventually
connected extension line, nor in/at the device, since an interrupted ground wire represents a danger to
life. Operating the device without a ground wire connection is not permitted.
• Never disconnect security devices.
• Never use the line cord to transport the pump.
• Disconnect the pump from the mains before cleaning it if you do not use it for a longer period of time.
• If there is any reason to believe that safe operation has become impossible put the pump out of operation
and secure it against any unintended operation. Pull the power plug out of the wall outlet. Safe operation
must be presumed to be no longer possible, if:
- the pump and the connecting lines show visible damages;
- the pump does not operate any longer;
- the pump was transported or stored under unfavorable conditions.
• Consequential damages to the pump caused by a flood must be ruled out by the user by way of taking
appropriate measures (for example through the installation of an alarm device, a spare pump etc.).
• The pump must never run dry or with a shut intake line. The warranty does not cover damages caused
by a dry run.
• Before cleaning the pump or performing maintenance, the following safety notes must be observed:
- When opening covers or removing casing parts you may expose live parts.
- Therefore, disconnect the device from all voltage sources before performing maintenance work or
repairs. Capacitors inside the device may still carry voltage even though they have been disconnected
from all voltage sources.
