USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Make sure that the level of water is below the minimum start level referred to in the "Technical Data".
Before starting the pump, make sure that the delivery pipe is free from obstructions.
Supply cables and extensions should have a section below that of H05 RN-F. The plug and connections should be
protected by water splashes. All extensions must comply with DIN VDE 0620 standard.
For safety reasons, the pump must always be connected to a safety circuit breaker (FI) with a rated leakage current
of ≤ 30 mA, in accordance with standards DIN VDE 0100-702 and 0100-738. Contact a specialised electrician.
Regulation OVE B/EN 60555 Part 1-3 establishes that pumps for swimming pools and ponds with fixed connections
installed in Austria must be powered with an insulated OVE transformer at a secondary rated voltage below 230V.
In Switzerland, all electrically-powered equipment for outdoor use must be connected to an automatic safety
switch.
Make sure the pump does not come into contact with water when it is connected to the mains.
Verify that the pump is installed on a flat and solid surface. Never place the pump directly on a stone or sand
surface.
Always make sure that the pump is placed in a stable and vertical position. Verify that the pump never runs without
liquids. It can cause serious damages. Always use a rope and fix it to the handle to immerse the pump in water.
Protect the plug and the power cable from heat, oil or sharp edges.
Make sure the machine is disconnected from electric power supply, before performing maintenance operation.

DANGER - ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK
The pump cannot be used for sea water and inflammable, corrosive, explosive or dangerous
liquids.
WARNING
Verify that the pump never runs without liquids.

suited to drain rain water, infiltrated water, to pump water out of flooded areas, and to transfer clean or moderately
dirty fluids. The pump can be completely or partially submersed.
