General safety notes
The accident prevention regulations, the applicable standards and directives as well as the regulations from the local energy
and supply companies must be observed during the installation, operation, maintenance and repair of the system.
NOTICE
Disconnect system from energy sources!
Ensure that the electrical components are disconnected from the electrical power supply during the work.
WARNING
Live parts!
Heed the following points when working on electrical cables and connections:
The national safety regulations apply for all electrical work on the system.
The system must be supplied through a residual current protection device (RCD) with residual current of not
more than 30 mA.
The float switch unit are live and must not be opened.
Make sure that the electric cables as well as all other electrical installation components are in a faultless condition. In case of
damage, the system may on no account be put into operation or must be stopped immediately.
WARNING
Danger due to overvoltage!
Operate the system only in buildings in which an overvoltage protection system (e.g. surge arrestor, type 2 per
VDE regulations) is installed. Interference voltage can seriously damage electrical components and lead to sys-
tem failure.
CAUTION
Hot surfaces!
Pumps can become very hot during operation.
Wear protective gloves or allow the pump to cool.
WARNING
Transport risk / system's own weight!
Check the weight of the system / system components (see "Technical data", page 21).
Pay attention to correct lifting and ergonomic factors.
Prescribed personal protective equipment!
Always use personal protective equipment during installation, maintenance and disposal work on the system.
Protective clothing
Protective gloves
Safety footwear
Face protection
CAUTION
Pumps can start up unexpectedly.
Before undertaking maintenance or repair work on the system, switch it off or disconnect it from the power supply.
The pump must never run dry or in slurping operation; the multi-vane impeller and pump housing must always be
flooded up to at least the minimum immersion depth.
The pump must never be used when there are people in the water or the pressure pipe is not connected.
The pump builds up a pumping pressure/excess pressure.
Operating and maintenance instructions must be kept available at the product.
