ergy must be prevented.
Leakages of dangerous (e.g. explosive, toxic,
hot) substances must be discharged such that

Safety instructions for installation, inspection
and maintenance works
As a basic principle, works may only be car-
ried out to the equipment when it is shut down.
Pumps or plant that convey harmful substances
must be decontaminated.
All safety and protection components must be
re-fitted and/or made operational immediately
after the works have been completed. Their ef-
fectiveness must be checked before restarting,
taking into account the current regulations and
stipulations.
Unauthorised modifications, manufacture of
spare parts
The equipment may only be modified or altered
in agreement with the manufacturer. The use of
original spare parts and accessories approved
by the manufacturer is important for safety rea-
sons. The use of other parts can result in liability
for consequential damage being rescinded.
Unauthorised operating methods
The operational safety of the supplied equip-
ment is only guaranteed if the equipment is
used for its intended purpose. The limiting val-
ues given in the "Technical Data" section may not
be exceeded under any circumstances.
Instructions regarding accident prevention
Before commencing servicing or maintenance
works, cordon off the working area and check
that the lifting gear is in perfect condition.
Never work alone. Always wear a hard hat, safety
ENGLISH
glasses and safety shoes and, if necessary, a
suitable safety belt.
Before carrying out welding works or using elec-
trical devices, check to ensure there is no dan-
ger of explosion.
People working in wastewater systems must be
vaccinated against the pathogens that may be
found there. For the sake of your health, be sure
to pay meticulous attention to cleanliness wher-
ever you are working.
Make sure that there are no toxic gases in the
working area.
Observe the health and safety at work regula-
tions and make sure that a first-aid kit is to hand.
In some cases, the pump and the pumping me-
dium may be hot and could cause burns.
For installations in areas subject to explosion
hazards, special regulations apply!
APPLICATION
WARNING!
The pump must only be connected to sockets
that have been installed properly in accord-
ance with the regulations and are protected
with at least 10 A (slow) and RCD-safety switches
(30mA).
DANGER!
The pump must never be used when a person is
in the water.
The mobile Simer submersible pump can be
used at water levels of just 5 mm for:
– draining (roof areas, patios or puddles on
sports courts, for example)
– emptying (flooded cellars, swimming pools,
garden ponds etc.)
– removing (wastewater from core-hole drilling
and concrete cutting).
The water is pumped down to a residual level of
just 2 mm.
NOTICE! The Simer pump is not suitable for
pumping saline media or water from fish ponds.
