a) General Information
• The unauthorised conversion and/or modification of the product is prohibited for safety and
approval reasons (CE). Furthermore, this will render the guarantee/warranty void!
• The product is not a toy. Children cannot judge the dangers involved when handling electrical
devices.
• The product corresponds to protection type IPX8.
• The product is designed according to protection class I. Only a proper protective contact
mains socket of the public mains must be used as a voltage source (for the operating voltage
of the dirt water pump, see chapter „Technical Data“).
• Do not leave packaging material unattended. It may become a dangerous toy for children.
• Handle the product with care; impacts, shock or fall even from low heights will damage it.
b) Site of Setup, Connection
• Install or operate the product in a way that it is out of reach of children.
• Using the product in or close to garden ponds, wells, swimming pools, fountains, etc. is only
permissible if the product is operated by a leakage current protection switch (FI-protection
switch) with a nominal error current of <=30 mA).
If persons are present in a pool, swimming pond or garden pond, the product must not be ope-
rated in it.
In Austria, the product must only be installed and operated in or close to swimming pools and
garden ponds if a suitable ÖVE-tested safety separating transformer is switched in front of it in
addition to the leakage current protection switch.
• There must not be any ambience temperatures around or below freezing (<0 °C) at the opera
-
ting site. The water in the dirt water pump would freeze and the higher volume of ice destroy
the dirt water pump. Store the product dry and protected from frost in winter.
• If you are using an extension cord or if placement of cables to the dirt water pump is required,
these cables must not have a cross section of less than the dirt water pump‘s. Only use exten-
sion lines with protective ground that are suitable for outdoor use.
• Protect the mains line of the dirt water pump against cold/heat, oil/gasoline and sharp edges;
do not step on the mains line, do not drive on it (e.g. wheelbarrow, bicycle, car). Do not bend
the mains line and do not place any objects on it.
