Safety instruction
The manufacturer constructed this pump in accordance with the best available technology to the current safety regulations. In spite of this, hazards
for humans and objects can emanate from this appliance if it is not used properly or as intended or if the safety information is not observed.
For safety reasons
Children, juveniles under the age of 16 and persons who are not able to recognise possible hazards or who are not familiar with the instructions for use
must not use this appliance.
All work using this appliance must only be carried out in accordance with these instructions. Contact between water and electricity can
lead to a life-threatening hazard in the case of improper handling or connections that are not in accordance with regulations. Only operate
the appliance if there is nobody in the water.
Always remove all mains plugs on all appliances in the water before putting your hand into the water. Compare the electrical data of the power
supply with the type plate on the appliance. Please ensure that the appliance is protected by a RCD with a maximum measured residual current of 30
mA (EN 61008-1).
Only operate the appliance from sockets that have been installed according to regulations and only use earthed fittings that are approved for
outside use. Never carry or pull the appliance by the connecting cable (power cable). The connecting cable cannot be replaced as it is firmly
encapsulated in the motor housing. The appliance must not be operated if the connections are faulty. Please dispose of the pump if the cable is dam-
aged.
In the case of garden ponds the electric fittings must comply with the international and national installation regulations. Only use original spare parts and
accessories. Never make technical alterations to the appliance. Never operate the pump without water.
Electrical connection
Only connect the pump to a 230 V alternating current. The socket must be fitted in accordance with national regulations. The mains plug and all
electrical connecting parts must be dry. To protect the pump against excessive voltages, a 30 mA residual current circuit breaker must be fitted
between the pump and the socket (according to EN 61008-1).
It is only permissible to use the pump in a garden pond and its safe area if the socket has been installed according to DIN VDE 0100, part 702. If there
are any doubts in respect of the connection to the power supply, please consult a qualified local electrician.
Protect the pump cable from damage especially if there is the possibility of direct contact with gardening appliances such as lawn mowers or with
children and pets. If an extension lead is required to connect the pump, please ensure that this has a protective ground contact and is approved for
outside use. The same applies to fittings, cables or other connecting lines. All electric fittings on ponds must comply with the national and international
installation regulations. A warranty claims are excluded following improper repair or opening of the pump by third parties. Likewise, liability will not be
accepted for consequential damages. Only ever carry out work on the appliance when the power is off.
Overload protection
The pump is fitted with an automatic thermal overload protection. This switches off the pump if it overheats. If this occurs, switch off the power at the
mains supply to the pump. Check for the cause. Usually it will be debris blocking the inlet of the pump or obstructing the impeller or limescale build up.
Remove the cause and wait for the pump to cool down. Then switch on the pump again.
