Description Of The Appliance; Preparing The Appliance - Kärcher GP 40 Handbuch

To separate the machine from the
mains, pull the plug and not the power
cord.
Do not scrape the power cord across
sharp edges and ensure that it does not
get pressed.
Install the appliance in a safe position at
a place protected against flooding.
Do not operate the appliance continu-
ously in rain or during humid weather.
The voltage indicated on the type plate
must correspond to the voltage of the
electrical source.
To avoid risks, all repairs and replace-
ment of spare parts may only be carried
out by the authorised customer service
personnel.
The water in the pump heats up if there
is no water supply or the pressure side
is closed and can cause injury if it flows
out!
The pump may be operated for maxi-
mum 3 minutes in this operating status.
Do not use this pump as an immersion
pump.
When using the pump near to pools,
garden ponds or fountains, observe a
minimum distance of 2m and safeguard
the device against slipping into the wa-
ter.
Follow the rules for electrical safety of
equipment:
Only operate pumps near to pools, gar-
den ponds or fountains, if they are
equipped with an earth leakage circuit
breaker with a nominal error current of
max. 30 mA. It is not permitted to acti-
vate the pump, if persons are in the pool
or garden pond.
For safety reasons, we recommend that
you operate the appliance only via a
earth-leakage circuit breaker (max. 30
mA).
The electrical connection of the system
may only be performed by a qualified
electrician. Please follow the respective
national regulations!
In Austria pumps to be used in swim-
ming pools and garden ponds should be
equipped with a fixed connection line
according to ÖVE B/EN 60555 Part 1 to
3; power supply should be via a ÖVE-
tested isolating transformer whereby
the secondary nominal voltage should
not exceed 230V.

Please follow the safety instructions before
