Do not connect the pump and / or the mains cable if these do not accord to these specified regulations.
Pumps must only be operated in swimming baths, swimming and garden ponds when they are equipped with a fault voltage circuit breaker (FI switch) with a nominal voltage of ≤
30mA. The pump must not be operated when individuals are in the water. Please contact your local electrical shop for any further details.
Never use the cable to carry the pump and never pull them out of the pond using the cable.
• Never remove the plug by cutting it from the electric cable and never shorten the cable. If these regulations are not adhered to, the guarantee will be terminated immediately.

Now you can clean the lower and upper part of the housing.
4. Loosen the screws of the pump housing and remove this from the part of the motor. Then remove the rotor from the motor (see fig. 4 - 7). Now the motor and rotor can be
cleaned.

• The necessity for cleaning is dependant on the respective application situation as well as the degree of fouling in your pond
• Make sure that the pump does not freeze during the winter time. For this reason, the pump should be removed from the pond in sufficient time and store it in a safe place where it
cannot freeze, e.g. in a bucket of water indoors.
