General safety advice / Preparing for use
Safety advice relating
specifically to submersible
pumps
RISK TO LIFE FROM ELECTRIC
SHOCK! Do not use the device if
there are people in the water. Ensure
that the electrical plug-in connector is positioned
where it cannot be reached by the water. Oth-
erwise there is a risk of loss of life through elec-
tric shock.
Do not use the mains lead or the
hose for any purpose for which it
was not intended, e.g. to carry the
product, to hang it up or to pull the mains plug
out of the mains socket. Keep the mains lead
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts of the device. Damaged or tangled mains
leads increase the risk of electric shock.
Please note that health and employment authori-
ties, water supply and other similar bodies in many
countries may impose additional requirements.
Connect the device through a residual current
device (RCD) with a maximum trip current of
30 mA.
When not in use always ensure that electrical
devices are kept out of reach of children. Do
not let anyone use the device if he or she is not
familiar with it or has not read the instructions
and advice. Electrical power tools are dangerous
when they are used by inexperienced people.
Further safety advice
relating to submersible
pumps (EN 60335-2-41)
Do not use for sand-water mixtures. Otherwise
damage to the device could occur.
Do not pump aggressive, abrasive (capable of
removing coatings), corrosive, combustible or
explosive liquids, brine, cleaning agents or
foodstuffs. Otherwise a risk to health, material
damage or damage to the device could occur.
When pumping, ensure that the water tempera-
ture is less than 35 °C. Otherwise damage to
the device could occur.
When working with the device, please take
note of the maximum operating depth of 8 m.
Otherwise damage to the device could occur.
Please note that the device uses lubricant. If it
leaks then damage or contamination could oc-
cur. Therefore do not use the device in garden
ponds containing fish or valuable plants.
In the interest of safety, do not allow children,
young persons under the age of 16 or any per-
son who is not familiar with these operating in-
structions to use this device.
Pay attention to the device while it is operating
so that you are aware in good time of the pump
switching off automatically or running dry.
Check regularly that the float switch is working
properly (see the section on “Preparing for use”.
Always check the device for damage before use.
Do not operate the pump continuously, e.g. for
circulating water in garden ponds. It is not de-
signed for continuous operation. Otherwise a
reduction in the service life of the device could
occur.
Protect the device from frost. Store the submers-
ible dirty water pump in a frost-free place.
Never leave the device unattended. Otherwise
damage to the device could occur.
Use original accessories only. Do not carry out
any repairs to the device. This way you will en-
sure that the device remains safe to use.
The device must be opened only by an electrician
or similar expert. In the event of a repair being
necessary, please contact our Service Centre.
Preparing for use
Note: You can install this submersible pump in a
fixed position, i.e. it can be permanently fastened
in place (e.g. for regularly circulating or pumping
out water in pools or containers). If you wish to in-
stall your submersible pump in a fixed position, you
may have to seek the further advice of a suitable
specialist.
