WARNINGS
Read this documentation carefully before installation.
Installation and operation must comply with
the local safety regulations in force in the country in which the product is installed. Everything must be
done in a workmanlike manner.
Failure to respect the safety regulations not only causes risk to personal safety and damage to the

PERSONNEL QUALIFICATIONS
Installation, commissioning and maintenance must be carried out by competent, skilled
personnel in possession of the technical qualifications required by the specific legislation in
force.
The term skilled personnel
means persons whose training, experience and instruction, as well as
their knowledge of the respective standards and requirements for accident prevention and working
conditions, have been approved by the person in charge of plant safety, authorizing them to perform
all the necessary activities, during which they are able to recognize and avoid all dangers. (Definition
for technical personnel IEC 364).
The appliance is not intended to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capacities, or who lack experience or knowledge, unless, through the mediation of a
person responsible for their safety, they have had the benefit of supervision or of instructions on the
use of the appliance. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
SAFETY
Use is allowed only if the electric system is in possession of safety precautions in accordance
with the regulations in force in the country where the product is installed (for Italy CEI 64/2).
The pump must be provided with a device for isolating the power supply complying with the
requirements of standard EN60204-1 5.3.2.
Pump installation in tanks must be carried out by specially trained persons.
Work in or near tanks must be carried out according to local regulations.
For safety reasons, all work in tanks must be supervised by a person outside the pump tank.
It is advisable to make all maintenance and service jobs when the pump is placed outside the
tank.
Tanks for submersible sewage and wastewater pumps may contain sewage or wastewater with toxic
and/or disease-causing substances. Therefore, all persons involved must wear appropriate personal
protective equipment and clothing, and all work on and near the pump must be carried out under strict
observance of the hygiene regulations in force.
Never tamper installed protections and safety devices; when necessary, ask for intervention of
competent personnel.
Be sure to operate in safety conditions with well dimensioned equipment and instrumentations
complying with local safety regulations and standards.
