- Do not place the socket outlet in a position where it is likely to be exposed to heat, e.g. in
direct sunlight, and keep it uncovered when in use.
- The socket outlet is to be connected only to an earthed three-pin socket.
- If in any way faulty, the socket outlet must not be used. Do not, under any circumstances,
continue to use the rubber-insulated cable if the insulation is damaged. If this occurs, it must
be replaced by an approved cable and plug complying with the same specification.
- Care must be taken to ensure that the socket outlet is positioned vertically in well consolidated
soil (the spike should be driven into compacted earth to an adequate depth).
- The socket outlet may only be used in areas where there is no possibility of water collecting.
To prevent live parts from coming into contact with water, it must be set up at least 0.5 m from
ponds, streams, etc.
- Before it is moved to another position, it must be disconnected from the mains power supply.
In addition, all the connected electrical appliances must be unplugged.
- If the socket outlet falls over, it must be inspected to ensure that no water has got into the
sockets before it is used again.
- The sockets may only be opened up by a qualified technician. Interventions of this nature
entail a risk of injury, possibly fatal, through an electric shock.
- If the socket outlet falls from a moderate height, it must be inspected for any obvious defects.
Before it is used again, contact a qualified technician and have it inspected by him.
- Never leave children unattended in the vicinity of the socket outlet. Children underestimate the
potential dangers of electrical appliances.
- If thunderstorms occur, disconnect the socket outlet from the mains power supply immediately,
otherwise it could be damaged.
- Take care to ensure that the mains cable does not present a trip hazard.
- The socket outlet contains no components requiring maintenance by the user.
- A waterproof effect with a connected plug will only be achieved if the plug itself is likewise
waterproof (IP 44).
