SAFETY NOTES

The pump may only be used in swimming pools, garden ponds and fountains when operated in conjunction with a residual-current device with a residual- current rating of 10/30 mA in accordance with DIN/VDE 0100, Parts 737, 738 and 702. Note that the power point must be protected by a 10 A fuse.
Observe the mains voltage: the information on the nameplate of the pump must be in agreement with the data for the mains power grid.
Extension cables must have a min. crosssection of 3 x 1.5 mm² and be compliant with type H07RN-F as per DIN 57282/57245; mains plug and extension connections must be protected from water splashes. Ensure that extension cables on drums are fully extended.
For safety reasons, the pump must not be operated by:
− persons unfamiliar with the operating instructions.
− children under the age of 16.
The pump may not be used for any other purpose than its designated use. Before using, make sure that:
− the pump, the power cable and the plug are not damaged.
− no persons are touching the water to be drawn off.
Before using, always subject the pump to a visual inspection: a pump which is damaged should not be used. In the event of damage, have the pump checked by AL-KO Service.
The mains power cable must not be used for fastening, lifting or transporting the pump. Do not interrupt the mains supply by unplugging at the power extension cable but rather disconnect at the outlet socket.
Disconnect the plug from the mains power supply before performing any work on the pump or if a fault is detected or occurs. Make sure that the plug is kept dry.
**** The pump may not be changed or modified. AL-KO is not liable for any damage caused if it is due to improper repair or if parts exchanged are not original parts or parts approved by AL-KO and if repairs were not carried out by an AL-KO Service Centre or an authorised specialist.
