f)
Ensure appliance is switched OFF before connecting to mains power supply.
g) Disconnect the plug from the source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the appliance before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
appliances. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the appliance
accidentally.
h) Store idle appliances out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the appliance or these instructions to operate the appliance. Appliances are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
i)
Maintain appliances and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the appliance's
operation. If damaged, have the appliance repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained appliances.
j)
Children must not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be
made by children without supervision.
k) When moving from one place to another, consider the weight of the machine.
2) Electrical safety
a) Appliance plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) appliances. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
appliance. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
c)
Use proper extension cord. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
d) Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. The
electric motor is designed for a single voltage only.
e) The supply cord cannot be replaced. If the cord is damaged the appliance should be
scrapped.
3) Service
a) Have your appliance serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the appliance is maintained.
Electric Water Butt Pump Safety
WARNING: If you use an extension lead, ensure the extension connections are protected from
exposure to rain and/or water discharged by the pump.
a) The pump must always be transported, used, submerged, and stored, vertically. Carry the pump
only by the lifting handle. Never carry, lift or submerge the pump by its power cable.
b) NEVER use this pump when ambient temperatures are close to freezing.
c)
DO NOT attempt to operate the pump below the minimum water level as this will cause
permanent damage.
d) This pump must be operated exclusively on power points that are protected by an RCD with a
maximum tripping current of 30mA and a maximum delay of 40ms.
e) The electrical supply should be the same as detailed on the pump casing.
f)
DO NOT use this pump in swimming pools or ponds that are occupied. When in operation, the
area around the pump should be clear of all people and animals.
g) Ensure hands are dry whenever connecting or disconnecting the plug from the power supply.
h) When using the pump after prolonged periods of storage, first check the pump casing and
cable for any obvious signs of damage. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
i)
Protect the cable and plug from exposure to oil, excessive heat, and sharp objects.
j)
Never place excessive strain on the cable as this could weaken its connections to the pump
and/or power plug.
k)
DO NOT allow children to touch the product or any of its components.
l)
This pump is designed for use in clean water environments but will discharge, in the liquid,
suspended solids no larger than 3mm diameter.
m) DO NOT use this pump with substances other than water.
n) Sand and other abrasive materials present in the liquid being pumped will cause increased
wear.
o) Where possible, avoid using the pump continuously for more than 10 minutes.
p) This pump is designed for domestic applications only, in and around the home and garden. Do
not use in a commercial or industrial environment as the pump is not designed for heavy-duty
use. It is designed for periodic on/off cycles, not for long-term continuous operation.
q) DO NOT use with liquid that has a temperature greater than 35°C.
r)
Dry running of the pump creates excessive wear and must be avoided.
s)
When not in use, protect the pump from frost damage and store in a dry place.
t)
ALWAYS observe local laws and regulations when connecting submersible pumps to the power
supply. Consult a qualified electrician when necessary.
