SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS….cont
a dry location and disconnected from the mains supply, and out of the reach of chil-
dren.
WEAR THE CORRECT CLOTHING: Do not wear loose clothing, neckties, rings, bracelets,
or other jewellery, which may get caught in moving parts.
PROTECT YOURSELF FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK: When working with the water pump, avoid
contact with any earthed items (e.g. pipes, radiators, hobs and refrigerators, etc.). It is
advisable wherever possible to use an RCD (residual current device) at the mains
socket.
STAY ALERT: Always watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not oper-
ate the water pump when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
DISCONNECT THE WATER PUMP FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY: When not in use, before ser-
vicing and when changing hoses, etc.
AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING: Make sure the float switch is in the down position be-
fore connecting the water pump to the mains supply.
DO NOT ABUSE THE MAINS LEAD: Never attempt to move the water pump by the mains
lead or pull it to remove the plug from the mains socket. Keep the mains lead away
from heat, oil and sharp edges. If the mains lead is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid
unwanted hazards.
CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS: Before every use of the water pump, check for any
damage and determine that it will operate correctly and perform its intended func-
tion. Check for alignment of moving parts, free running of moving parts, breakage of
parts, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. Any parts that are dam-
aged should be correctly repaired or replaced by an authorised service centre unless
otherwise indicated in this instruction manual. Have defective items replaced by an
authorised service agent. Do not use the water pump if the mains lead is split or the
casing is damaged.
MAINTAIN THE WATER PUMP WITH CARE: Keep the impeller clean for the best and safest
performance. The mains lead must be checked at regular intervals and replaced if
damaged.
USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES: Consult this user manual, your distributor or
SIP directly for recommended accessories. Follow the instructions that accompany the
accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause hazards and will invalidate
any warranty you may have.
DO NOT OVERREACH: Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL: Do not use the water pump to do a job for which it was not de-
signed.
HAVE YOUR WATER PUMP REPAIRED BY A QUALIFIED PERSON: The pump is in accord-
ance with the relevant safety requirements. Repairs should only be carried out by
qualified persons using original spare parts, otherwise this may result in considerable
danger to the user.
DO NOT dismantle, tamper with or use the water pump without all parts fitted and all
pipes secure as this may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
