Electric components
DANGER
Risk of electric shock.
Check the power cord with mains plug for damage
before every use. If the power cord is damaged,
please arrange immediately for the exchange by an
authorized customer service or a skilled electrician.
All electrical sockets should be fixed in an area that
is protected against floods.
Unsuitable electrical extension cables can be haz-
ardous. Only use electrical extension cables out-
doors which have been approved and labelled for
this purpose and have an adequate cable cross-
section.
The mains plug and the coupling of an extension
cable must be watertight and must never lie in wa-
ter. The coupling may not lie on the ground. The
use of cable reels that ensure that the sockets are
at least 60 mm above the ground is recommended.
Always fully unreel the extension cable from the ca-
ble drum.
Do not use the power cord to carry/ transport the
machine.
Pull the mains plug prior to performing any mainte-
nance or cleaning tasks.
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 continuously in rain or
during humid weather.
The voltage indicated on the type plate must corre-
spond to the voltage of the electrical source.
To avoid risks, all repairs and replacement of spare
parts may only be carried out by the authorised
customer service personnel.
Do not use this pump as an immersion pump.
When operating the pump around swimming pools,
garden ponds and fountains, keep a minimum dis-
tance of 2 m and secure the pump against sliding
into the water.
Only operate pumps near to pools, garden 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 activate the
pump, if persons are in the pool or garden pond.
For safety reasons, we recommend that you oper-
ate the appliance only via a earth-leakage circuit
breaker (max. 30 mA).
In Austria pumps to be used in swimming 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 nom-
inal voltage should not exceed 230V.
The electrical connection of the system may only
be performed by a qualified electrician. Please fol-
low the respective national regulations!
Safe handling

After opening the filling or drain lid or before sepa-
rating the pipes, open the locking valve on the pres-
sure side and empty the system via the drain tap
