All electrical sockets should be fixed in an area that is protected against floods.
Unsuitable electrical extension cables can be hazardous. Only use electrical extension cables outdoors which have been approved and labelled for this purpose and have an adequate cable cross-section.
The mains plug and the coupling of an extension cable must be watertight and must never lie in water. Moreover, the coupling may never lie on the ground. The use of cable reels that ensure that the sockets are at least 60 mm above the ground is recommended.
Do not use the power cord to carry/ transport the machine.
To separate the machine from the mains, pull the plug and not the power cord.
Do not scrape the power cord across sharp edges and ensure that it does not get pressed.
The voltage indicated on the type plate must correspond to the voltage of the electrical source.
To avoid risks, all repairs and replacement of spare parts may only be carried out by the authorised customer service personnel.
Operate pumps only on sockets that are equipped with a fault current protection switch with a nominal fault current of max. 30 mA and a protective-earth contact (earthing).
Check the fault current protection switch and the protective earth contact (earthing) for proper function at regular intervals.
Never operate the pumps while there are persons in the pool or garden pond.
Do not touch feed fluids, the rope attached to the carrying handle as well as objects that are in contact with the feed fluid (e.g. pipelines extending into the water, railings, etc.).
