in the pump as a result of internal circu-
lation.
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!
 Do not direct water jet directly
against the pump or other electrical
parts! Risk of fatal electric shock!
 Do not touch the plug with wet
hands! To unplug always pull on the
plug, not the power cable.
 The earthed outlet or the plug con-
nection to an extension cable must
be located in an area safe against
flooding.
 Use only extension cables of suffi-
cient lead cross section (see "Tech-
nical Specifications"). Unroll cable
reels fully.
 Do not buckle, squeeze, drag or
drive over power cable or extension
cables; protect from sharp edges,
oil and heat.
 Place extension cable so that it can
not get into the fluid to be pumped.
 Unplug:
– prior to all servicing;
– when persons are in the swim-
ming pool or garden pond.
A
Hazard generated by tool de-
fects!
If you notice transport damage while

unpacking, notify your supplier im-

 Before each use check the pump,
especially the power cable and plug
for possible damage. Risk of fatal
electric shock!
 A damaged pump must be work-
manlike repaired before it can be
used again.
 Do not attempt to repair the pump
yourself! Only trained specialists are
permitted to service or repair pumps
or pressure vessels.
A
General hazards!
