WARNING
Serious injury or death due to dangerous electrical voltage is possible with an electri-
cal device in water operated with a voltage U > 12 V AC or U > 30 V DC.
 Disconnect the unit from the mains before reaching into the water.
 Disconnect the unit from the mains before you start working on it.
WARNING
There is a risk of electric shock if the unit's grounding conductor is not connected
properly.
The unit must be grounded to ensure that in the event of a malfunction or break-
down, the electric current is discharged through the grounding and the risk of electric
shock is reduced.
Grounding instructions:
 The unit is equipped with a power cord with a grounding conductor and a plug
with a grounding pin. The plug must be plugged into a appropriate outlet that is
installed and grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances and is pro-
tected by a ground circuit interrupter (GFCI).
 Do not modify the plug. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, consult a qualified
electrician for installation of a proper outlet.
 Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the unit is
properly grounded.

Installing the pump
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.
WARNING
The unit is subject to dangerous voltage and must not be installed directly adjacent
to the water. Otherwise there is a risk of severe injuries or death by electrocution.
 Install the unit at a distance of at least 2 m from the water to ensure that it is pro-
tected against flooding.
• Ensure that the connection to the power supply is at least 6.6 ft from the pond.
• Place the pump horizontally on a stable, mud-free surface.
• The pump is under water, the nozzle intake emerges from the water.
TIP! Thoroughly clean the pond or pool and place the pump approx. 200 mm above
the bottom of the pond, so that no muddy water runs through the pump.
• Muddy water will cause the nozzle to clog faster and the impeller unit to become
worn prematurely.
