c) Operation
• The product must not be operated by children or teens. This also applies regarding persons
who are not familiar with these operating instructions. Persons with limited physical or mental
capacities must only use the product if supervised and instructed by a person responsible for
them.
• Only fresh water with a temperature of no more than +35 °C must be conveyed.
• When pumping contaminated water, contaminations of a grain size up to 30 mm are admissible.
Observe that the diameter of the hose used and the required connections are designed for
such contaminations.
• The product is not suitable for conveying potable water.
• The product is not suitable for conveying corrosive/caustic, flammable or explosive liquids
(e.g. gasoline, fuel oil, nitro diluent), grease, oils, salt water or sewage from toilets.
• The mains socket to which the dirt water pump is connected must be easily accessible. The
mains cable must point downwards from the mains socket so that the water running back at
the cable cannot enter the mains socket.
• If the dirt water pump is to be operated, e.g., in a well, it must be suitably attached, e.g. with a
rope. The rope must be able to hold at least 3 times the weight of the dirt water pump for re-
asons of safety. Never attach the dirt water pump via its mains cable; also never use the mains

• Consequential damage caused by malfunction or interference at the dirt water pump must be
prevented by suitable measures (e.g. water level indicator, sensors, alarm devices, backup
pump, etc.).
• The product is only suitable for use in temperate, not tropical, climates.
• Do not shut off the outlet side of the dirt water pump when it is in operation.
Use, e.g., a corresponding pressure switch to switch off power supply to the dirt water pump in
time.
