Placing The Pump - Renkforce 2302378 Bedienungsanleitung

7. Placing the pump

• Place the pump on a flat, level, stable, and sufficiently large surface. Protect sensitive surfaces against scratches,
pressure marks and possible water leakage using a suitable pad.
The pump must always be operated standing on its bottom, other operating positions are now allowed.
Never place the pump in or under water, as this may cause fatal electric shock! Never place the pump in a
flood prone area.
Maintain a minimum distance of 3.5 m between the pump and the swimming pool.
• Place the pump in a dry and well-ventilated area to ensure adequate motor cooling.
• If the pump is operated indoors, a water drain must be provided to prevent flooding in the event of a fault. We also
recommend using an appropriate water detector.
• The pump must be screwed tight using the base openings. Otherwise, the hoses can get loose due to vibrations.
• The pump must be easily accessible so that the filter can be easily cleaned or the pump drain cap (5) can be un-
screwed to drain water (e.g. before the onset of winter). The mains plug must also be easily accessible so that the
pump can be disconnected from the mains voltage.
• The hose must be laid in such a way that it easily reaches the pump's suction opening. The suction hose end should
be provided with a suitable coarse filter and a backflow preventer.
The suction opening must be placed in the water so that it cannot come into physical contact with people
or animals. Otherwise, the high suction effect can cause injuries!
• Connect the two hoses to the respective pump connections. Remove any protective caps on the suction and dis-
charge openings of the pump beforehand.
• When the ambient temperature is 0 °C or below freezing, the water in the pump freezes, causing the pump to
destruct. Therefore, be sure to empty the pump and hoses in good time. The pump can be emptied by unscrewing
the pump drain cap (5) and letting the water run out.
The pump does not have its own power switch. You must therefore ensure dry run protection of the pump
using e.g. a float switch or the like. When the pump is not in use, disconnect it completely from the mains
voltage.
