G Operating Instructions
Fountain pump
Item no. 1217916
Intended Use
The fountain pump is designed for private use, e.g. in a hobby garden. The product is not intended
for irrigation or irrigation systems in industrial, production or public sectors (e.g. garden com-
plexes).
Through various interchangeable nozzle attachments, the water from the fountain pump is sprayed
out in an optically appealing manner.
As a fluid medium, only clear water is acceptable (e.g. in a pond and suchlike). Never use other
liquids (e.g. salt water, gasoline, heating oil or foodstuffs). The temperature of the fluid medium
must not exceed +35 °C.
Please read the operating instructions carefully and do not discard them. If you pass the product
on to a third party, please hand over these operating instructions as well. Observe all safety infor-
mation and other information in these operating instructions.
Any use other than that described above could lead to damage to the product and involves a risk
of short circuits, fire, electric shock, etc.
This product complies with the applicable national and European requirements. All names of com-
panies and products are the trademarks of the respective owners. All rights reserved.

Safety Instructions
Damages due to failure to follow these operating instructions will void the warranty!
We do not assume any liability for any resulting damage!
We do not assume any liability for material and personal damage caused by improper
use or non-compliance with the safety instructions! In such cases, the warranty will
be null and void!
a) General
• The unauthorised conversion and/or modification of the product is not permitted for
safety and approval reasons (CE). Besides, this will invalidate the warranty!
• This product is not a toy. Children are not aware of the potential dangers involved
when using electrical devices.
• The product complies with protection type IPX8.
• The product is designed according to protection class I. As a voltage source, only
a proper protective contact socket (operating voltage 220 - 240 V/AC, 50 Hz) of the
public mains system may be used.
• Do not leave packaging material carelessly lying around, as it could become a dan-
gerous plaything for children.
• Handle the product with care; it can be damaged by impacts, blows, or accidental
falls, even from a low height.
b) Installation Site and Connection
• Install and use the product where it is out of the reach of children.
• The use of the product in the proximity of ponds, wells, swimming pools, springs,etc.
is not permitted unless the product is operated via a ground fault circuit interrupter
(circuit breaker FI, fault current <=30mA).
In Austria, it is not permitted to install and operate the product in the proximity of
swimming pools and ponds unless a safety isolating transformer controlled by the
Austrian Electro-technical Association is additionally connected upstream to the
ground fault circuit interrupter (circuit breaker FI, fault current <=30 mA).
• At the site of installation, the ambient temperature must not be around or below
freezing point (<0 °C). This causes the water in the fountain pump to freeze; the
higher volume of ice destroys the fountain pump. Store the product in a dry place
above freezing point during winter.
• If you use an extension cable or if it is necessary to lay cables to the fountain pump,
make sure that the cable cross section is not smaller than that of the fountain pump
(see label on the cable).
Use only extension cables with protected contacts designed for outdoor applica-
tions.
• Protect the cable from heat, oil/gasoline and sharp edges; do not step on the cable,
do not drive over it (e.g. with a wheelbarrow, bicycle, car). Never bend the cables
and do not place objects on them.
• Ensure that connection for the electric plug is located in an area protected against
flooding; otherwise there is a lethal danger of an electric shock!
c) Operation
• Check the product for damages before each use, e.g. of the housing, the gaskets and
the power cord/plug.
If you find any damage, you must not use the product. Repair of a damaged mains
cable is not permitted! There is danger to life through an electric shock!
If the product is already connected to the mains, switch off the mains at the respec-
tive socket (e.g. by turning off the circuit breaker). Furthermore, turn off the residual
current device in order to disconnect all poles of the socket from the mains voltage.
Following this, you may remove the power plug of the fountain pump from the socket.
The product must no longer be used after that; take it to a specialist workshop.
Repairs should be carried out by a specialist workshop!
• If you have reason to assume that safe use is no longer possible, discontinue use
of the fountain pump and remove the power plug from the mains socket to secure it
against unintentional operation. It must be assumed that safe operation is 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 unfavourable conditions
- it was exposed to heavy loads during transport.
• The product is designed for a mains voltage of 220 - 240 V/AC, 50 Hz of the public
supply mains. Never use the product with a different voltage.
• Always disconnect the device from the mains socket when not in use, and before
repairs, maintenance or cleaning.
• Never remove the mains plug from the socket by pulling on the cable. Always pull the
plug from the mains socket by only gripping the area provided on the side.
• Never touch the plug when your hands are damp or wet. Danger of a life-threatening
electric shock!
• Do not hold onto the pump by the cable, e.g. during transport.
• Do not block the discharge unit of the fountain pump while it is in operation. The
product is not protected against longer dry runs (> 2 minutes).
• The fluid medium should be as clean as possible. Impurities (e.g. sand, earth, leaves
etc.) cause higher wear, thus reducing the life span of the fountain pump, and also
the possibility of mechanical clogging of the drive rotor and blockage of all intake
ports.
Besides, even light soiling clogs the nozzle attachments supplied with the pump.
Therefore, regular functional control of the fountain pump is absolutely essential.
• The product is not suitable for the conveyance of drinking water.
• Nobody is allowed to stay in the fluid medium while the pump is operating.
• Consequential damages, caused by malfunction or fault of the fountain pump, should
be prevented by relevant measures (e.g. by use of water level gauge, sensors, alarm
devices and suchlike).
• When the product is taken from a cold room to a warm room (e.g. during transport),
condensation may be produced. As a result, the plug may pose the risk of a lethal
electric shock!
Therefore, always let the product get to room temperature before you use it, or con-
nect it to the mains voltage. This may take several hours.
• The product is only suitable for use in temperate, not tropical, climates.
