WARNING
Severe injuries or death due to operation of this unit in a swimming pond. Defective electrical
components will electrify the water with dangerous electrical voltage.
Never operate the unit in a swimming pond.
CAUTION
Rotating components in the intake and pressure socket area. Risk of injury when reaching into
the sockets.
In particular, observe the following: A unit that has stopped due to overload can start up unex-
pectedly!
Do not reach into the opening of the intake socket or pressure socket while the power plug is
plugged in.
If the sockets are freely accessible during operation, e.g. if no hoses are connected, use a hand
guard to secure the sockets. The hand guard is available as an accessory.
NOTE
If the pump is used for conveying excessively soiled water, the impeller unit will be subject to in-
creased wear and will require earlier replacement.
Thoroughly clean the pond or pool before installing the pump.
Install the pump at a raised level above the bottom. This reduces intake of muddy water.
Avoid direct sunlight on unit components that are not submerged, as they may overheat. If
necessary, use a protective cover.
