Use only a proper power socket as source of electricity in accordance with the
specifications of the public supply network.
• At commercial institutions, the accident prevention regulations of the Employer's
Liability Insurance Association for Electrical Systems and Operating Facilities are
to be observed!
• Do not leave packaging material lying around,carelessly; it could become a dan-
gerous toy for children.

can damage the product.
• If you have any questions that are not answered in these operating instructions,
please contact our technical support centre or consult a professional. Please con-
sult a specialist if you have any doubts regarding the use or safety of the product.
b) Operation
• The socket outlet to connect the pump must be easily accessible.
• The A/C power plug must not get damp or wet. Make sure, when you position the
pump, that no water runs down the power supply cord towards the plug; the cord
must form a drip loop.
Danger of electric shock!
• These pumps are not for use in swimming pools, bathtubs or showers.
• The product may be used only indoors. It is not suited for outdoor use.
• Do not pull the power plug from the mains socket by pulling on the cable.
• Make sure that the mains cable is not pinched or damaged by sharp edges.
• If the pump or power cord is damaged, do not touch it; there is danger to life from
electric shock!
First, turn off the mains voltage to all poles of the mains socket to which the pump
is connected (e.g. switch off at the corresponding circuit breaker or remove the
safety fuse, then turn off at the ELCB).
Then you can remove the mains plug from the mains socket.
Do not use the pump any longer and dispose of it in an environmentally-friendly
manner. A damaged mains cable cannot be replaced!
• The pump is not suitable for dry runs; it will be destroyed after a short time of
running dry-loss of warranty. Operate the pump only when it is fully submerged
under water.
• Only clear water is permitted as the liquid to be pumped (temperature
+5 °C.....+35 °C). Never use other liquids (e.g. salt water, gasoline, heating oil,
chemicals, solvents or foodstuffs).
Connection and Getting Started
Please follow chapter "Safety Instructions".
Secure a suitable hose at the outlet connection, if necessary. Ensure that the hose is stable and
cannot work itself loose. Secure the hose, for example, with a cable tie.
Set the pump in the water, e.g. in an indoor fountain. The pump must be submerged completely.
Move the pump around somewhat so that the air in the pump can escape.
Make sure that the intake openings of the pump are not covered when choosing an installation
site.
Using the suction cups at the bottom, the pump can be fastened on any smooth surfaces (such
as glass, metal).
If the surface is suitable, you can also fix the pump in place by screws. For this purpose, pull
out the four legs with the suction cups; then the pump can be mounted via the holes, one each
on the right and on the left side, and suitable screws.
During operation, you may need to use a suitable underlay (e.g. around the outside
of the indoor fountain), so that any water that sprays out cannot cause any damage
to furniture or floors.
To start the pump, plug the mains plug into a mains socket.
The pump will start up immediately after connection.
If little or no water is pumped, there is still some air in the pump. Wait a few seconds, or unplug
the pump briefly and then plug it back in.
When you do this, it is imperative that you make sure that the power cord forms a
drip loop. This prevents the water from travelling along the cord toward the socket
outlet.
Failure to observe this poses a danger to life from electric shock!
