Hazard in explosive environments
The unit is not explosion protected. Never use the unit in the presence of explosive dust, fluids or vapours!
Hazards encountered by the combination of water and electricity

The combination of water and electricity can lead to death or severe injury from electrocution, if the unit is incorrectly
connected or misused.

Prior to reaching into the water, always switch off the mains voltage to all units used in the water.
Correct electrical installation

Electrical installations must meet the national regulations and may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.

A person is regarded as a qualified electrician, if, due to his/her vocational education, knowledge and experience, he
or she is capable of and authorised to judge and carry out the work commissioned to him/her. This also includes the
recognition of possible hazards and the adherence to the pertinent regional and national standards, rules and regu-
lations.

For your own safety, please consult a qualified electrician.

The unit may only be connected when the electrical data of the unit and the power supply coincide. The unit data is
to be found on the unit type plate or on the packaging, or in this manual.

A unit ready to be plugged in may only be connected to a properly installed outlet.

Extension cables and power distributors (e. g. outlet strips) must be suitable for outdoor use.

Ensure that the unit is fused for a rated fault current of max. 30 mA by means of a fault current protection device.
Safe operation

Do not operate or leave the unit in the rain.

Minimum safety distance between the unit and the water: 2 m.

Only operate the unit if no persons are in the water!

Never operate the unit if either the electrical cables or the housing are defective!

Do not carry or pull the unit by its electrical cable.

Route cords/hoses/lines in a way that they are protected against damage, and ensure that they do not present a
tripping obstacle.

Only open the unit housing or its attendant components, when this is explicitly required in the operating instructions.

Only execute work on the unit that is described in this manual. If problems cannot be overcome, please contact an
authorised customer service point or, when in doubt, the manufacturer.

Only use original spare parts and accessories for the unit.

Never carry out technical modifications to the unit.
Installation
Preparation (Fig. C, D, E):
– Fit the wheels (11) on the housing.
– Bring the transport brace (12) into the desired position. For this purpose, loosen and retighten the hand
screw (13).
– Fit the intake distributor (4) into the inlet (14) by performing a plug-turn movement (bayonet closure).
– Connect the suction hose (2) to the intake distributor (4).
– Fit the extension tube (Fig. A, 6, 7) at the hand-held nozzle of the tube (2). The transparent tube (6) allows a flow
control to be able to detect blockages earlier.
– Slide on the tool (9) appropriate for the task.
Note: The higher the number of tubes used, the higher the tube frictional resistance. This leads to a reduction of the
suction capacity.
