SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. This pump is designed to pump
WATER ONLY.
Never use for pumping
flammable liquids or chemicals of any kind.
2.
NEVER
allow the pump to run dry.
3. An approved Residual Current Device (RCD)
MUST
be used when pumping
from ponds or swimming pools.
4. Your submersible pump may
ONLY
be used for pumping water from a
swimming pool when there is no person or animal in
the pool.
5.
ALWAYS
disconnect the pump from the electrical
supply before placing into, or removing from
water, and before any cleaning or
maintenance.
6. When raising or lowering the pump,
ALWAYS
use a rope or chain attached to the handle.
NEVER
lift or carry the pump by the mains
cable or the float switch cable.
7.
DO NOT
run the pump with the body
exposed for longer than 10 minutes.
8.
DO NOT
install the pump on sand, silt, mud etc., or
ground which is likely to shift.
9. If pumping water which is liable to freeze, the pump
MUST
be run continuously, otherwise the pump must be removed from the
water and stored in a frost free location.
10. If the pump is to be used where there may be silt or mud (e.g., garden
ponds),
ALWAYS
keep the pump clear of any sediment by standing it on a
platform or bricks or suspending from a rope or chain attached to the
handle.
11.
DO NOT
use for permanent installation in pumping clean or pure water,
(particularly drinking water), as there is the remote risk of contamination,
should there be a leak in the seal device.
12. If the mains cable becomes damaged, it
MUST
be replaced - NOT
repaired. (See Electrical Installation).
13. If used in a confined space - in a shaft or sump etc.,
ENSURE
the float has
sufficient room to operate correctly (see Installation on page 8).
WARNING: FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
COULD BE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS, NOT ONLY CAUSING A RISK TO
PERSONAL SAFETY BUT ALSO DAMAGE TO THE PUMP, WHICH COULD
INVALIDATE YOUR GUARANTEE.
