DANGER

● 

Never touch the mains plug and 

socket with wet hands.

● 

The voltage indicated on the 

type plate must match the voltage of the power source.

● 

Install electrical plug connections only in areas that 

are protected against flooding.

Operate pumps at 

swimming pools, garden ponds and fountains only via a 
fault current protection switch with a nominal current no 
greater than 30 mA and with a protective contact 
(ground).

● 

In Austria, pumps used with swimming pools 

and garden ponds that are permanently connected to 
the mains supply must be supplied via an isolating 
transformer approved according to the Austrian Electro-
technical Association standard ÖVE B/EN 60555 
Parts 1 to 3, where the nominal secondary output volt-
age of the transformer must not exceed 230 V. 

● 

Only 

operate the device via a fault current protection switch 
(maximum 30 mA).

● 

The mains plug and coupling of 

the extension cable must be water tight and may not be 
placed in water. The coupling may not be on the floor. 
Use cable drums to ensure that the sockets are at least 
60 mm above the floor.

customer service department or a qualified electrician. 

● 

Do not damage the power supply and extension cable 

by running over it, crushing or yanking it or similar. Pro-
tect the power supply cable from heat, oil and sharp 
edges.

● 

Unsuitable electrical extension cables can be 

dangerous. Only use approved and appropriately 
marked electrical extension cables with a sufficient ca-
ble cross section for outdoors.

몇

CAUTION

● 

Do not carry/transport the device
