essential requirement for the safe use and trouble-free ope-
ration of the pumps. The legal accident prevention regula-
tions prevailing at the point of installation, and the accepted
specialist, technical rules for safe and proper working must
also be followed at all times.

2.2 Basic safety requirements

The pumps comply with the basic health and safety require-
ments of the EU. However, dangerous situations may still
occur.
The pumps must only be used and operated when in proper
operating condition and in accordance with these operating
instructions! Any faults which might tend to impair safety
must be rectified immediately!
In order to ensure safety, all persons coming into
contact with the pumps must be aware
of the contents of these operating instructions. Only in
this way can the occurring risks be reduced to a
minimum.
The pumps must not be used for any other
purpose than that specified by the manufacturer. This
may cause unforeseeable risks.
Local work and safety regulations and laws must be
followed at all times. The same applies for
environmental regulations.
If any faults or dangers are identified, personnel must
inform the operator or his representative immediately.
Safety devices must never be removed or bypassed
during normal operation of the pumps.
If safety devices have to be removed or dismantled
during maintenance or repair work, they must be
refitted and tested immediately on completion of the
maintenance or repair work.
Work on technical equipment (e.g. electrics) may only
be carried out by qualified, specialist personnel.
Take special care when working with electric motors!
They may become hot during operation. Allow motors to
cool down before starting work on them. If this is not
possible, take suitable safety precautions, e.g. wear
protective gloves.
Personnel undergoing training or instruction may only
work on the pumps under the continual
supervision of an experienced person.
All safety instructions and warnings on the swimming
pool pumps must be kept in a clearly legible condition
at all times.
Hot parts must not be allowed to come into contact
with explosive or highly inflammable chemicals.
2.3 Safety devices and regulations
This section describes all the safety devices of the pumps.
All safety devices must be kept in proper
operating condition at all times.

2.3.1 Protective devices

Protective devices may only be removed or deactivated by
suitably authorised persons, and only when this is absolute-
ly necessary for the performance of specific work. Protecti-
ve devices must be refitted / reactivated and tested for pro-
per operation immediately on completion of the work, using
only the original attachment fittings of the protective devi-
ces.
