Safety Instructions

Do not grab the feeder cable, plunge the pump, lift or carry it while it is connected to the grid!

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities or insufficient experience and/or knowledge unless they are supervised by a person who is responsible for their safety or have been instructed by them in the safe use of the appliance.

Children should be supervised in order to ensure that they do not play with the tool. Always keep children and unauthorised persons out of reach of the appliance.
Remove battery before submerging.
Remove battery after decommissioning, when remedying faults and before maintenance.

If the pump is in operation, neither people nor animals can be present or plunged in the pumped liquid (e.g. pools, cellars, etc.). The temperature of the drained liquid must not exceed +35 °C.
The pump must not in any case run without fillings.

Never operate the pump when it is left unsupervised in order to prevent damage caused by any possible malfunctions. In principle, you must always remove the battery when the pump is not in use.

If the pump is used in ponds, wells, etc. and appropriate pumping stations, standards valid for pumps in the given country must unconditionally be observed.
The user is responsible to third parties if pump (dumping stations, etc.) is used.

Protect the feeder cable from excessive temperatures, oil and sharp edges.

To avoid danger, a damaged mains supply pipe must be replaced by the manufacturer. Do not under any circumstances attempt any repair yourself.

Battery

Risk of fire! Risk of explosion!
Never use damaged, defective or deformed accumulators. Never open or damage the accumulator or let it fall on the ground. Never charge the battery in an environment with acids and easily flammable materials.
Protect the battery against heat and fire. Battery to be used at the ambient temperatures between 10°C and +40°C only.
Never put the battery on heaters and do not expose it to strong sunlight for a long time. After being subject to heavy load, let the battery cool down first. Short circuit – do not bridge the accumulator contacts with metal parts.

The accumulator must be packaged (plastic bag, box) or accumulator contacts must be sealed upfor accumulator disposal, transport or storage.

The Güde charger to be used only to charge the battery. There can be malfunction or fire if different chargers are used.

Vapours may leak out in case of unauthorised use or when using a damaged accumulator. Bring fresh air and seek medical advice if experiencing difficulties. Vapours may irritate the respiratory system.

Working Instructions
Accumulators are supplied partially charged and must therefore be fully charged before being used for the first time.

Charge the accumulator when the appliance is running slowly or stops.
A li-ion battery may be charged at any time without any shortening of its life. Charging process interruption will not damage the accumulator.
A li-ion battery is protected by the Electronic Cell Protection against deep discharge.
A significantly shorter operating time of a charged battery means the battery life is over and the battery must be replaced.

Dispose of the batteries in an environmentally friendly manner.
Li-ion batteries are subject to the special disposal obligation. Have any defective batteries disposed of by a specialised shop. The battery must be taken out before the appliance is scrapped. Damaged batteries may harm the environment and your health if toxic vapours or liquids leak out of such batteries.
Therefore, never send a defective battery by post, etc. Please contact your local recycling centre.
Dispose of the batteries when discharged. We recommend applying an adhesive tape on the poles to protect them against short circuit. Never open the battery.

Only a regularly maintained and treated appliance can serve as a satisfactory aid. Insufficient maintenance and care can lead to unforeseen accidents and injuries.

To ensure long service life of the pump seal we recommend rinsing the pump with clean water in regular intervals.

Caution! Depending on the design, water that is left standing for a longer period of time may cause corrosion in the pump housing! (Brown colouration)
For winter storage, ensure that there is no water in the device. Otherwise, frost exposure may cause irreparable damage to the device. The pump must be stored in a completely empty and frost-proof state. You can reduce the chance of the mechanical seals sticking by flushing out the pump with suitable oil (e.g. vegetable oil).
