holes. Put the device aside, then use a suitable drill for pre-drilling the four holes. Place the device back into the
desired position, then fasten it there using suitable screws and washers.

Using the pump for garden ponds and similar places
Operating the pump next to garden ponds and similar places is generally only admissible if no
persons are in contact with the water.
If the pump is used for garden ponds and similar places it has to be operated using a residual current circuit-
breaker (FI switch) with a nominal trigger current of ≤ 30mA (DIN VDE 0100-702 and 0100-738). Please ask your
electrical services provider whether your installation site complies with this condition.
The pump must not be used in such locations unless it is set up firmly and flood-proof, a minimum distance of two
metres away from the border of the water body and secured against falling into the water by a solid holding
device. For this purpose the device is to be bolted down firmly to the ground at the fastening points provided
(please refer to the chapter titled "Stationary installation").
6. Electrical connection
The unit is equipped with a mains connection cable and a mains plug. It must only be replaced by qualified staff to
avoid any danger. Please do not use the mains connection cable to carry the pump, and do not use this cable to
pull off the plug from the socket, either. Protect the mains connection cable and mains plug from heat, oil or sharp
edges.
The values stated in the technical details have to correspond to the mains voltage. The person
responsible for the installation has to make sure that the electrical connection is earthed in
compliance with the applicable standards.
The electrical connection has to be equipped with a highly sensitive residual current circuit-
breaker (FI switch): ∆ = 30 mA (DIN VDE 0100-739).
Only use an extension cable with a cable section (3 x 1.0 mm²) and rubber sheath which at
least corresponds to that of the unit's own connection cable (see "Technical data", cable type)
and which is labelled with the relevant abbreviation according to the VDE (German
Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies). The mains plug and other
connections must be splashproof.
7. Putting into operation
Please observe the illustrations, too, which are contained as an attachment at the end of the present operating
instructions. The numeric and other details included in brackets below refer to these illustrations.
Prior to putting the pump into operation for the very first time, the pump
housing should be fully vented - i.e. filled with water - even in the case of
self-priming units. If this venting is omitted, the pump will not suck in the
liquid to be discharged. It is highly recommended to also fill the suction tube with
water before connecting it to the pump, in order to speed up the suction process.
With suction heights in excess of 4 m, this measure is mandatory.
The pump must only be operated in the performance range indicated on the type plate.
Dry-running - i.e. operating the pump without discharging water - is to be avoided since the
absence of water may cause the pump to run hot. This may cause considerable damage on
the device. Moreover, this means that very hot water will be enclosed within the system so
that there is a hazard of scalding. If the pump has run hot, please pull off the mains plug and
allow the system to cool down.
Please do not expose the pump to moisture (e.g. when operating sprinklers). Do not expose
the unit to rain, either. Make sure that no dripping connections are located above the pump.
The pump should not be used in wet or moist environments. Make sure that the pump and the
electrical plug connections are arranged in a flood-proof place.
The pump must not be running with the feeder line closed.
