the rated current may no longer be exceeded.
CAUTION! If the pump does not start,
switch off the pump immediately. Remove the fault before reactivating the pump!
Place pumps which are installed as portable pumps on a firm surface so they are level. If
pumps have fallen over, place them upright again before activating them. Securely at-
tach the pump with screws in case of difficult surfaces.
Pumps with bare cable end
The pump must be switched on and off using a separate operating point (on/off switch,
switchgear) provided by the customer.
