3. Range of Application and
Pumping Media
This equipment is intended for pumping
clear water in domestic applications,
such as
 irrigation,
 well, rain and service water pump-
ing,
 draining of pools, garden ponds and
water tanks.
The max. permissible temperature of the
pumped medium is 35 °C.
4. Safety
4.1 Specified conditions of
use
This equipment must not be used to sup-
ply drinking water or for pumping food-
stuff.
Explosive, inflammable, aggressive flu-
ids or substances detrimental to health
and salt water must not be pumped.
This equipment is not suitable for com-
mercial or industrial use.
Alteration of the equipment or use of
parts not approved by the equipment
manufacturer is not permitted.
Any inexpert use the equipment is not as
specified; it can cause unforeseen dam-
age!
4.2 General safety instruc-
tions
Children, juveniles and persons not fam-
ilar with the instructions are not permit-
ted to operate the pump.
When used in swimming pools and gar-
den ponds and their range of protection,
the regulations according to DIN VDE
0100 -702, -738 are to be observed.
When used as domestic water supply
any applicable local regulations pertain-
ing to water supply and waste water dis-
posal, plus DIN 1988 (where applicable)
are to be observed.
The following residual risks do principally
exist when operating pumps and pres-
supplier
sure vessels and can not be fully elimi-
nated - even by employing safety
devices.

A
Hazard by ambient conditions!
Do not expose to rain. Do not operate in
damp or wet environment.
Do not direct water jet directly against
the equipment or other electrical parts!
Risk of fatal electric shock!
Do not use the pump in hazardous loca-
tions or near inflammable liquids and
gases!

A
Danger: Hot water!
If the shut-off pressure of the pressure
switch cannot be reached due to poor
pressure conditions or a defective pres-
sure switch the water can heat up within
the pump as a result of internal circula-
tion.
Through this the pump and the connec-
tion lines can become damaged or
leaky, allowing hot water to escape.
Danger of scalding!

Do not operate the pump against a
closed pressure line for longer than
5 minutes.

Unplug the pump and allow to cool.
A specialist must check the system
to make sure it is in perfect working
order before it can be used again.

B
Danger! Risk of electric shock!
Always unplug before servicing.
Do not touch the plug with wet hands! To
unplug always pull on the plug, not the
power cable.
Do not buckle, squeeze, drag or drive
over power cable and extension cables;
protect from sharp edges.

A
Danger by pump failings!
Before each use check the equipment,
especially the power cable, plug and
electrical parts for possible damage.
Risk of fatal electric shock!
A damaged pump must be workmanlike
repaired before it can be used again.
Do not attempt to repair the equipment
yourself! Only trained specialists are
permitted to service or repair pumps or
pressure vessels.
A
Caution!
To avoid water damage, e.g.
flooded rooms, caused by pump mal-
functions or defects:

provide for suitable safety measures
such as the following:
 alarm or
 collection tank with monitoring.
The manufacturer is not liable for any
damage caused by:
 improper use of the pump;
 overloading of the pump through
continous operation;
 failure to operate and store the
pump in a frost-free environment;
 unauthorised modification of the
pump (repairs to electrical equip-
ment may only be carried out by
qualified electricians!);
 use of spare parts which have not
been tested and approved by the
manufacturer; or
 use of unsuitable installation materi-
als (fittings, connection lines etc.).
