5. Safety Information

The guarantee/warranty will expire if damage is incurred resulting from non-compliance with
these operating instructions. We do not assume any liability for consequential damage!
Nor do we assume any liability for damage to property or personal injury caused by improper
use or failure to observe the safety information. The warranty/guarantee will expire in such
cases!
a) General Information
• For safety and licensing (CE) reasons, unauthorised conversion and/or modifications to the
product are not permitted. Furthermore, this will render the guarantee/warranty void!
• The product is not a toy. Children cannot judge the dangers involved when handling electrical
devices.
• The product corresponds to protection type IPx4.
• The product is designed according to protection class I. Only a proper protective contact
mains socket of the public mains must be used as a voltage source (for the operating voltage
of the garden pump, see chapter „Technical Data").
• Do not leave the packaging material lying around carelessly as it can become a dangerous toy
for children.
• Handle the product with care. It can be damaged by impact, blows or when dropped even from
a low height.
b) Site of Setup, Connection
• Operate the product in a way that it is out of reach of children.
• Using the product close to garden ponds, wells, swimming pools, fountains, etc. is only permis-
sible if the product is operated by a leakage current protection switch (FI-protection switch)
with a nominal error current of <=30 mA).
If persons are present in a pool, swimming pond or garden pond, the garden pump must not be
operated with the water in it.
In Austria, the product must only be installed and operated close to swimming pools and gar-
den ponds if a suitable ÖVE-tested safety separating transformer is switched in front of it in
addition to the leakage current protection switch.
• There must not be any ambience temperatures around or below freezing (<0 °C) at the opera-
ting site. The water in the garden pump would freeze and the higher volume of ice destroy the
garden pump. Store the product dry and protected from frost in winter.
• If you are using an extension cord or if placement of cables to the garden pump is required,
these cables must not have a cross section of less than the garden pump's. Only use extension
lines with protective ground that are suitable for outdoor use.
• Protect the mains line of the garden pump against cold/heat, oil/gasoline and sharp edges; do
not step on the mains line, do not drive on it (e.g. wheelbarrow, bicycle, car). Do not bend the
mains line and do not place any objects on it.
