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!
