3. Range of Application and
Pumping Media
This pump is intended for pumping water
in domestic applications, such as
 pumping containers, sumps and
flooded basements;
 fountain pumps;
 circulation to avoid putrefaction;
 feeding false rivulets and brooks.
A
Caution! 
The max. permissible fluid
temperature is 35 °C.
Pumping liquids containing abrasives
(such as sand) reduces the service
life of the pump.
4. Safety
4.1 Specified conditions of
use
This pump must not be used to
supply drinking water or for
pumping foodstuff.
Explosive, flammable, aggres-
sive fluids or substances detri-
mental to health, sewage must
not be pumped.
This pump is not suitable for
commercial or industrial use.
Any other use is not as speci-
fied. Use not as specified,
alteration of the machine or
use of parts that are not
approved by the equipment
manufacturer, can cause
unforeseeable damage!
4.2 General safety informa-
tion
This device is not designed for
use by persons (including chil-
dren) with physical, sensory or
mental disabilities, or with
insufficient experience and/or
knowledge, unless they are
supervised by a person
responsible for their safety, or
have received instructions on
how to use the device by this
person.
Never allow children to use the
machine.
Children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play
with the tool.
When used in swimming
pools and garden ponds and
their range of protection, the
regulations according to
DIN VDE 0100 -702, -738 are
to be observed.
Also all local regulations per-
taining to the safe operation of
submersible pumps must be
followed.
The following residual risks do
principally exist when operat-
ing submersible pumps and
can not be fully eliminated -
even by employing safety
devices.
A
Hazard by ambient con-
ditions!
Do not use the pump in haz-
ardous locations or near
inflammable liquids and gases!
A
Danger: Hot water!
If the shut-off pressure of the
pressure switch cannot be
reached due to poor pressure
conditions or a defective pres-
sure switch the water can heat
up within the pump as a result
of internal circulation.
Through this the pump and the
connection lines can become
damaged or leaky, allowing hot
water to escape. Danger of
scalding!
 Do not operate the pump
against a closed pressure
line for longer than 5 minu-
tes.
