The dirt water pump pressure must not work against the closed pressure side for more than 5
minutes to prevent damage. The water present in the dirt water pump will heat up even during
these 5 minutes. When the pressure side is opened, hot water will escape; danger of scalding/
injury!
• Do not put the product with the intake openings directly into sludgy, sandy or stony ground,
e.g. at the bottom of a garden pond. Use, e.g., a stone plate as a basis. Otherwise, the intake
openings may be fully or partially blocked even after a short time!
Sand, small stones or other hard objects in the conveyed liquid will otherwise lead to increased
wear and reduction of performance of the dirt water pump.
• Check the entire product for damage before any commissioning, e.g. damage to the casing and
mains cable/plug.
If you find any damage, the product must not be used.
If the product is already connected to the mains voltage, first switch off all contacts of the
associated mains socket by deactivating the circuit breaker or turning out fuse; then switch off
the associated FI protection switch.
Only now unplug the dirt water pump mains plug from the mains socket. Do not operate the
product anymore afterwards, but take it to a specialist workshop.
Never perform any repairs on your own. Always leave them to a specialist!
• If you have reason to believe that the dirt water pump can no longer be operated safely, dis-
connect it immediately and make sure it is not unintentionally operated; pull the mains plug
from the socket. It can be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible if:
- the dirt water pump or connection lines show visible damage
- the dirt water pump no longer works
- the dirt water pump has been transported or stored under difficult circumstances
- if it was subjected to heavy stress during transport.
• Always disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket when you are no longer using the
product, for troubleshooting or for cleaning/maintenance.
• Never pull the mains plug from the mains socket by pulling the cable. Always pull the mains
plug from the mains socket by the lateral grip areas.
Never touch the mains plug with wet or damp hands; danger to life from electric shock!
• Only transport the product at the carry handle but never at the mains cable.
• If the product is brought from a cold into a warm room (e.g. in transport), it is possible that
condensation develops. This causes danger to life from electric shock!
Therefore, you should allow the product to warm up to room/ambience temperature before
using it or connecting it to the mains voltage. This may take several hours.
