If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Mains plug and extension connections must be protected
from water splashes.
Ensure that the electrical connections for plugs and
sockets are made in areas safe from flooding.
Protect the mains plug and the mains power cable from
heat, oil and sharp edges.
Observe the mains voltage. The information on the name-
plate must be in agreement with the data for the mains
power grid.
The pump’s mains plug must be disconnected before
anybody enters the swimming pool or touching the sur-
face of the water.
The mains power cable must not be used for fastening or
transporting the pump.
For submerging or lifting / securing the pump, please use
a fastening rope.
Please regularly check the connecting line.
Before using, always subject the pump (especially the
power cables and the power connections) to a visual
inspection.
A pump which is damaged should not be used. In the
event of damage, have the pump checked by GARDENA
Service.
