Type IPx8. Use only a proper power socket as source of electricity in ac-
cordance with the specifications of the public supply network.
• At commercial institutions, the accident prevention regulations of the Em-
ployer's Liability Insurance Association for Electrical Systems and Operat-

structions, please contact our technical support centre or consult a pro-
fessional. Please consult a specialist if you have any doubts regarding the
use or safety of the product.
b) Operation
• The socket outlet to connect the pump must be easily accessible.
• The A/C power plug must not get damp or wet. Make sure, when you posi-
tion the pump, that no water runs down the power supply cord towards
the plug; the cord must form a drip loop.
Danger of electric shock!
• These pumps are not for use in swimming pools, bathtubs or showers.
• The product may be used only indoors. It is not suited for outdoor use.
• Do not pull the power plug from the mains socket by pulling on the cable.
• Make sure that the mains cable is not pinched or damaged by sharp edg-
es.
• If the pump or power cord is damaged, do not touch it; there is danger to
life from electric shock!
First, turn off the mains voltage to all poles of the mains socket to which
the pump is connected (e.g. switch off at the corresponding circuit break-
er or remove the safety fuse, then turn off at the ELCB).
Then you can remove the mains plug from the mains socket.
Do not use the pump any longer and dispose of it in an environmentally-
friendly manner. A damaged mains cable cannot be replaced!
• The pump is not suitable for dry runs; it will be destroyed after a short time
of running dry-loss of warranty. Operate the pump only when it is fully
submerged under water.
• Only clear water is permitted as the liquid to be pumped (temperature
+5 °C.....+35 °C). Never use other liquids (e.g. salt water, gasoline, heating
oil, chemicals, solvents or foodstuffs).
Connection and Getting Started
Please follow chapter "Safety Instructions".
Secure a suitable hose at the outlet connection, if necessary. Ensure that the hose is
stable and cannot work itself loose. Secure the hose, for example, with a cable tie.
Set the pump in the water, e.g. in an indoor fountain. The pump must be submerged
completely. Move the pump around somewhat so that the air in the pump can escape.
Make sure that the intake openings of the pump are not covered when choosing an
installation site.
Using the suction cups at the bottom, the pump can be fastened on any smooth sur-
faces (such as glass, metal).
If the surface is suitable, you can also fix the pump in place by screws. For this pur-
pose, pull out the four legs with the suction cups; then the pump can be mounted via
the holes, one each on the right and on the left side, and suitable screws.
During operation, you may need to use a suitable underlay (e.g. around the
outside of the indoor fountain), so that any water that sprays out cannot
cause any damage to furniture or floors.
To start the pump, plug the mains plug into a mains socket.
The pump will start up immediately after connection.
If little or no water is pumped, there is still some air in the pump. Wait a few seconds,
or unplug the pump briefly and then plug it back in.
When you do this, it is imperative that you
make sure that the power cord forms a
drip loop. This prevents the water from
travelling along the cord toward the sock-
et outlet.
Failure to observe this poses a danger to
life from electric shock!
