Do not put the product with the intake openings directly into sludgy, sandy or stony ground, e.g. at the
bottom of a garden pond. Use, e.g., a stone plate as a basis. Otherwise, the intake openings may be fully
or partially blocked even after a short time!
Sand, small stones or other hard objects in the conveyed liquid will otherwise lead to increased wear and
reduction of performance of the dirt water pump.
• Check the entire product for damage before any commissioning, e.g. damage to the casing and mains
cable/plug.
If you find any damage, the product must not be used.
If the product is already connected to the mains voltage, first switch off all contacts of the associated
mains socket by deactivating the circuit breaker or turning out fuse; then switch off the associated FI
protection switch.
Only now unplug the dirt water pump mains plug from the mains socket. Do not operate the product
anymore afterwards, but take it to a specialist workshop.
Never perform any repairs on your own. Always leave them to a specialist!
•
If you have reason to believe that the dirt water pump can no longer be operated safely, disconnect it
immediately and make sure it is not unintentionally operated; pull the mains plug from the socket. It can
be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible if:
- the dirt water pump or connection lines show visible damage
- the dirt water pump no longer works
-
the dirt water pump has been transported or stored under difficult circumstances
- if it was subjected to heavy stress during transport.
•
Always disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket when you are no longer using the product, for
troubleshooting or for cleaning/maintenance.
•
Never pull the mains plug from the mains socket by pulling the cable. Always pull the mains plug from
the mains socket by the lateral grip areas.
Never touch the mains plug with wet or damp hands; danger to life from electric shock!
•
Only transport the product at the carry handle but never at the mains cable.
•
If the product is brought from a cold into a warm room (e.g. in transport), it is possible that condensation
develops. This causes danger to life from electric shock!
Therefore, you should allow the product to warm up to room/ambience temperature before using it or
connecting it to the mains voltage. This may take several hours.
