General use guidelines
• Dry running of the pump should be avoided because it increases wear.
• Pull the plug not the lead when unplugging the pump from the mains.
• Never lift or carry the pump by its power lead.
• Sand and other abrasive substances in the liquid that is pumped will increase wear
and tear and reduce the pump’s capacity.
• Make sure that the recommended suction head (8 m) is not exceeded.
• Protect the pump from frost.
• The pump is designed for intermittent use, not continual operation such as
for fountains.
