for children!
•
Protect the product from extreme temperatures,
direct sunlight, strong vibrations and combustible
gases, vapours and solvents. Never expose the
product to mechanical stress.
•
Please handle the product carefully. The product
can be damaged if crushed, struck or dropped,
even from a low height.
•
Only clear, clean freshwater (temperature max. 38
°C) is permitted with regard to the liquid pumped.
The product is not qualified for the management of
drinking water; It is also not suitable for managing
corrosive/caustic, flammable or explosive liquids
(e.g. gasoline, heating oil, cellulose thinner), fats,

-
ties.
•
Check the product for any damage before putting
it into operation. Do not operate the product, if you
find any damage.
•
Ambient temperatures at the installation site,
should not fall around or below the freezing point
(<0 °C). This will cause the water to freeze; ice
has a bigger volume and will destroy it. Store the
product above freezing point in a dry place during
wintertime.
•
Please also observe the safety and operating
instructions of any other equipment that may be
connected to this product.
• Please contact our technical customer service or
any other specialist, if you still have any questions
that are not answered in these operating instruc
-
tions.
b) Batteries and rechargeable batteries
•
Operation with rechargeable batteries is possible.
However, the operating time is reduced owing to
the lower voltage (battery = 1.5V, rechargeable
battery = 1.2V). Therefore, we recommend operat
-
ing the product only with high-quality alkaline bat
-
teries to ensure long and reliable operation.
•
Keep batteries/rechargeable batteries out of the
reach of children.
•
Do not leave batteries/rechargeable batteries lying
around; they could be swallowed by children or
pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately,
it could be fatal!
•
Check that the polarity is correct when inserting
the batteries/rechargeable batteries (pay attention
to plus/+ and minus/- signs).
• Make sure that batteries/rechargeable batteries
are not short-circuited, dismantled or thrown into a
fire. There is a risk of fire and explosion!
• Do not recharge normal, non-rechargeable batter-
ies; they may explode! Only charge rechargeable
batteries; use a suitable battery charger.
•
Old or flat batteries can leak liquid chemicals that
may damage the device. If not used for a longer
period (e.g., in case of storage), remove the in
-
serted batteries/rechargeable batteries.
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable bat-
teries can cause acid burns if they come into con
-
tact with the skin; therefore, wear suitable protec
-
tive gloves.
•
Liquids leaking from batteries/rechargeable batter
-
ies are very chemically aggressive. Objects or sur
-
faces coming into contact with these liquids may
be severely damaged. Therefore, keep batteries/
rechargeable batteries in a suitable location.
•
Always replace the complete set of batteries/
rechargeable batteries. Do not mix batteries/re
-
chargeable batteries with different charges (flat
and half-discharged batteries/rechargeable bat-
teries).
•
Use either batteries or rechargeable batteries;
never mix standard batteries with rechargeable
batteries. Use only batteries/rechargeable batter
-
ies of the same model and type and from the same
manufacturer.
•
For the correct disposal of batteries, please read
the chapter “Disposal”.
