lowing main points .

tion for this work.

2.3 Danger in event of non-observance of the safety 

instructions

Non-observance of the safety instructions can result in risk of
injury to persons and damage to pump/unit. Non-observance
of the safety instructions can result in the loss of any claims to
damages.

In detail, non-observance can, for example, result in the follow-
ing risks :

•Failure of important pump/unit functions,

•Failure of required maintenance and repair procedures

•Danger to persons from electrical, mechanical and bacterio-

logical influences,

•Property damage

2.4 Safety instructions for the operator

The existing directives for accident prevention must be
adhered to.

Danger from electrical current must be eliminated. Local
directives or general directives [e.g. IEC, VDE etc.] and local
power supply companies must be adhered to.

2.5 Safety instructions for inspection and installation work

The operator must ensure that all inspection and installation
work is carried out by authorised and qualified personnel, who
are sufficiently informed from their own detailed study of the
operating instructions.

Work to the pump/unit must only be carried out when at a
standstill.

2.6 Unauthorised alteration and spare part production

Alterations to the pump/unit are only permissible after consul-
tation with the manufacturer. Original spare parts and acces-
sories authorised by the manufacturer ensure safety. The use of
other parts can nullify the liability from the results of their usage.

2.7 Unacceptable operating modes

The operating safety of the supplied pump/unit is only guaran-
teed for conventional use in accordance with Section 4 of the
operating instructions. The limit values must on no account fall
under or exceed those specified in the catalogue/data sheet.

3. TRANSPORT AND INTERIM STORAGE

On receipt of the product immediately check for transport
damage. If damage has occurred, take the necessary steps,
within the defined periods, with the transport company.

CAUTION! Danger of material damage!
There is a danger of damage if the product is incor-
rectly handled during transport or storage.

•For transport, the pump may only be lifted or carried 

using the brackets intended for that purpose. The cable 
should never be used for lifting!

•During transport and temporary storage, the pump must 

be protected from moisture, from frost and from 
mechanical damage.

4. INTENDED USE

The MINI SUBSON submersible pumps are used 

•to automatically drain pits and shafts (MINI SUBSON MF... only),

•to keep out buildings and cellars at risk of flooding dry,

•to lower surface water,

so far that waste water can't flow into the sewage system via
a natural gradient.

The pumps are suitable for slightly soiled water, rainwater con-
taining solids of max. 

∅

3 mm and suds.

The pumps are usually installed flooded (immersed) and can
only be installed vertically, whether fixed or mobile.

Submersible motor pumps with connection lines of less than 10
m are only approved (according to EN 60335) for use within
buildings, not for outdoor use.
