Important!
When using equipment, a few safety precautions
must be observed to avoid injuries and damage.
Please read the complete operating manual with due
care. Keep this manual in a safe place, so that the

equipment to any other person, give them these
operating instructions as well.
We accept no liability for damage or accidents which
arise due to non-observance of these instructions
and the safety information.
1. Safety regulations
Caution!
In stagnant water bodies, garden ponds,
swimming ponds and their surrounding areas
the unit may only be used with an earth-leakage
circuit breaker with an actuating rated current of
up to 30 mA (according to VDE 0100 Part 702
and 738).
The equipment is not designed for use in
swimming pools and paddling pools of any kind
or other bodies of water in which people or
animals may be present during operation. It is
prohibited to operate the equipment if a person
or animal is in the danger area. Ask your
electrician!
This equipment is not designed to be used by people
(including children) with limited physical, sensory or
mental capacities or those with no experience and/or
knowledge unless they are supervised by a person
who is responsible for their safety or they have
received instructions from such a person in how to
use the equipment safely. Children must always be
supervised in order to ensure that they do not play
with the equipment.
Important!
Before you put the equipment into operation,
arrange for a specialist to check that the
- earthing
- protective multiple earthing
- residual-current operated circuit-breaker circuit
comply with the safety regulations of the power
supply company and work correctly.
The electrical plug-in connections must be
protected from wet conditions.
If there is a risk of flooding, place the plug-in
connections in an area which is safe from
flooding.
Strictly avoid pumping aggressive liquids and
abrasive substances.
Protect the equipment from frost.
Protect the equipment from dry running.
Take suitable measures to keep the equipment
out of the reach of children.

3. Proper use
The equipment you have purchased is designed to
pump water with a maximum temperature of 35 °C.
This equipment must never be used for other liquids,
especially engine fuels, cleaning agents and other
chemically-based products! Installed in a shaft, the
equipment provides protection from flooding.
However, it can be used wherever you want to move
water, e.g. in the house, in the garden, and for many
other applications. The equipment must not be used
to operate swimming pools!
If you want to use the equipment in bodies of water
with a natural, muddy bottom, place the equipment in
a slightly elevated position, e.g. on bricks.
The equipment is not designed for continuous
operation, e.g. as a circulating pump in a pond. In this
case the equipment’s anticipated life will be greatly
shortened because the equipment was not designed
for continuous loading.
The equipment is to be used only for its prescribed
purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of
misuse. The user / operator and not the
manufacturer will be liable for any damage or injuries
of any kind caused as a result of this.
Please note that our equipment has not been
designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial
applications. Our warranty will be voided if the
