Hazards encountered by the combination of water and electricity
The combination of water and electricity can lead to death or severe injury from electrocution, if the unit is incorrectly
connected or misused.
Prior to reaching into the water, always switch off the mains voltage to all units used in the water.
Correct electrical installation
Electrical installations must meet the national regulations and may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
A person is regarded as a qualified electrician if, due to his/her vocational education, knowledge and experience, he
or she is capable of and authorised to judge and carry out the work commissioned to him/her. This also includes the
recognition of possible hazards and the adherence to the pertinent regional and national standards, rules and regula-
tions.
For your own safety, please consult a qualified electrician.
The device may only be connected if the electrical data of the device and the power supply coincide. The device data
is to be found on the device type plate, on the packaging or in this manual.
Ensure that the unit is fused for a rated fault current of max. 30 mA by means of a fault current protection device.
Extension cables and power distributors (e.g. outlet strips) must be suitable for outdoor use (splash-proof).
Protect the plug connections from moisture.
Only plug the unit into a correctly fitted socket.
Safe operation
Never operate the unit if either the electrical cables or the housing are defective!
Do not carry or pull the unit by its electrical cable.
Route cables/hoses such that they are protected from damage and do not present a tripping hazard.
Only open the unit housing or its attendant components, when this is explicitly required in the operating instructions.
Only carry out work on the unit that is described in this manual. If problems cannot be overcome, please contact an
authorised customer service point or, when in doubt, the manufacturer.
Only use original spare parts and accessories for the unit.
Never carry out technical modifications to the unit.
Power connection cables cannot be replaced. If a cable is damaged, dispose of the respective unit or components.
Only operate the unit if no persons are in the water.
Keep the socket and power plug dry.
Installation
Only use the unit in its horizontal position and ensure stable seating on a firm ground. The unit must be positioned be-
low the water surface level. The unit can be placed within the pond (submersed) or outside of the pond (dry). Please
note the installation examples (A and B). Do not carry or pull the unit using the connection cable. Ensure that the unit
will never run without water flowing through!
To fit the suction hose with the unit installed outside of the pond (dry), remove the two strainer cheeks by unscrewing
the screws, then remove the front plate of the strainer.
For replacement, the support foot (C) can be removed by releasing the locking lever (D) at the underside of the support
foot and pulling it to the rear. To install the support foot, push the pump body onto the foot until it engages (E).
