Safety measures
- Before use: Check whether mains connection and plug are intact.
- Mains voltage and type of current have to correspond to the data on the type plate.
- The pump has to be connected to a regular safety plug socket through a residual current device
(RCD, 30 mA).
- The connection box should be located in a water-protected area. It should be at least 2 m away
from the edge of the pond (see fig. 1 + 2).
- Keep the plug dry!
- Pull out mains plug before starting to work on the pump, fountain or pond. It is not allowed to run
the pump when people are inside the water (disconnect the pump)!
- Important! When the mains connection or the motor housing are damaged, the pump cannot be used
anymore. It cannot be repaired since the connection is cast into the motor housing.
- Do never hang up or transport the pump by the cable!
Start-up (see fig.1 + 2)
Important! Do not let the pump run dry. This could cause damages to the appliance.
- Immerse the pump completely in your pond. This causes the pump body to be filled with water.
- A minimum water depth of 30 cm is required for underwater operation to avoid the pump taking in air.
- The maximum depth for submerged
2 m
operation of the pump is 2 m!
- The water temperature should not exceed 35°C.
- Do not let the pump freeze in the wintertime.
- The pump is switched on by putting the plug in the socket.
- To prevent the pump becoming unnecessarily dirty, place it above the mud in your pond, in a firm and
horizontal position (on a brick)!
