permitted. 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 clear water pump,
see chapter „Technical Data“).
•
Do not leave the packaging material lying around carelessly as it can become a dangerous toy for
children.
•
Handle the product with care. It can be damaged by impact, blows or when dropped even from a low
height.
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 operated 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.
•

The water in the clear water pump would freeze and the higher volume of ice destroys the clear 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 clear water pump is required, these
cables must not have a cross section of less than the clear water pump‘s. Only use extension lines with
protective ground that are suitable for outdoor use.
•
Protect the mains line of the clear 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.
