GB
Check line voltage. Data indicated on the type
plate must match technical data of the mains
supply.
Please unplug the pump after operation and
before carrying out any maintenance works.
The pump must not be operated when there
are people in the water. Swimming pools and
garden ponds should be designed according
to international and national design regulati-
ons.
v Please consult a professional electrician.
For Austria :
Pumps for use on swimming pools and on
ponds may only be operated via an isolating
transformer.
v Please consult a professional electrician.
For Switzerland :
In Switzerland mobile appliances which are
used outdoors, must be connected via a resi-
dual-current device.
Note :
Do not allow the pump to run without
water because dry-running leads to an
undesirable build up of heat.
Before operating the pump, look to see if there
is any damage of the pump (esp. regarding
power cable and plug). The connection cable
of the pump cannot be replaced. If the cable is
damaged the pump must be scrapped.
Do not use the power cable to carry the pump
or to pull the plug out of the socket. Protect
the power cable from heat, oil and sharp
edges.
The temperature of the liquid used must not
be below 4 °C or above 35 °C.
Sand and other abrasive substances in the
liquid cause increased wear and reduce the
output of the pump.
Please observe the local noise prevention
regulations.
