C) Installation Site And Connection; D) Operation - Renkforce 2302384 Bedienungsanleitung

c) Installation site and connection

• Assemble and operate the product in a way that keeps it out of reach of children.
• The use of the product in or near garden ponds, wells, swimming pools, water fountains or similar is
permitted only if the product is operated via a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) with a rated leakage
current of <= 30 mA.
If there are persons in a swimming pool, swimming pond or garden pond, then the product must not be
operated.
In Austria, the product may be operated in or near the swimming pools and garden ponds only if a
suitable ÖVE-tested safety isolating transformer is connected upstream in addition to the ground fault
circuit interrupter.
• In the place of operation the ambient temperature must not be around or under the freezing point (<0
°C). Otherwise, the water in the waste water pump will freeze, with the resulting ice build-up causing the
pump to destruct. Store the product in a dry place above freezing point during winter.
• If you use an extension cable or if it is required to lay cables to the waste water pump, they must not have
a smaller cross-section than the waste water pump itself. Use only extension cables with a protective
earth contact suitable for outdoor use.
• Protect the power cord of the waste water pump from cold/heat, oil/gasoline and sharp edges; do not
step on the power cord, do not drive on it (for example, with a garden cart, bicycle, car). Never bend the
power cord or place objects on it.
• Make sure that electrical plug connectors are located in areas protected against flooding, otherwise,
there is a risk of fatal electric shock! If necessary, use suitable protective housings for the plug connec-
tors.
• Protect the mains plug against moisture! Never plug in or unplug the product when your hands are wet.
There is a risk of fatal electric shock!
• The power cord or the mains plug must not be cut off.

d) Operation

• Only fresh water with a maximum temperature of +35 °C is allowed as the pumped liquid.
• When pumping contaminated water, impurities with a particle size of up to 35 mm are allowed. Make sure
that the diameter of the hose used and the connections required are designed for such contamination.
• The product is not suitable for the conveyance of drinking water.
• The product is not suitable for conveying corrosive/erosive, flammable or explosive liquids (such as
gasoline, heating oil, cellulose thinner), fats, oils, salt water or waste water from toilet facilities.
• The mains socket to which the waste water pump is connected must be easily accessible. The power
cord should face down from the mains socket to prevent water from returning to the mains socket.
• When the waste water pump is to be operated e.g. in a well shaft, a suitable fastening is required, e.g.
a rope. For safety reasons, the rope must be able to hold at least 3 times the weight of the waste water
pump. Never attach the waste water pump using its power cord, and never use the power cord to carry,
hold or immerse the waste water pump!
