5. Transport
Carry the pump by the carrying handle only, not by the electrical connecting cable
or float switch. Do not bump or drop it. When lowering the pump into deep sumps
or pits, use a rope or chain.
6. Electrical connection
>
Observe the correct operating voltage (see „Technical data“).
>
Never place the power plug in the water.
>
Connect the pump to properly installed sockets (in compliance with VDE and
power-supply company regulations) protected by at least 10 A (slow-blowing)
fuses. For submersible pumps of protection class I, all exposed conductive
parts are connected to the protective earth conductor. Before the pump is put
into operation, an electrically skilled person must check that the protective
earth cable is properly connected.
>
When operating pumps of protection class I, the following applies according to
IEC 335-2-41:1984, Amendment 1:1990: Pumps of protection class I intended
for use in swimming pools or garden ponds must be equipped with a residual-
current device (max. 30mA) in the supply line. The pump may not be operated if
any persons are in the pool.
>
Temperatures higher than those permitted cause the pump to be shut off by
the temperature monitor. After the temperature monitor is triggered, disconnect
the pump from the electrical system before correcting the cause of the fault, as
otherwise it will switch on automatically once cooled down.
7. Set-up/installation
For portable set-up:
Set up the pump on solid ground. When setting up in muddy or sandy ground, the
pump should be operated while suspended in the medium, by a rope or chain, or
be placed on a large base plate. Do not suspend the pump by the cable.
