sion cords; protect from sharp
edges, oil and heat.

Place extension cable so that it can
not get into the fluid to be pumped.

Unplug:
 prior to all servicing;
 when persons are in the swim-
ming pool or garden pond.

A
Danger by pump failures!

If you notice transport damage while
unpacking, notify your
immediately. Do not operate the
machine!

Before each use check the pump,
especially the power cable and plug
for possible damage. Risk of fatal
electric shock!

A damaged pump must be work-
manlike repaired before it can be
used again.

Do not attempt to repair the equip-
ment yourself! Only trained special-
ists are permitted to service or repair
pumps or pressure vessels.
A
Caution!
To avoid water damage, e.g.
flooded rooms, caused by pump mal-
functions or defects:

provide for suitable safety measures
such as the following:
 alarm or
 collection tank with monitoring.
The manufacturer is not liable for any
damage caused by:
 improper use of the pump;
 overloading of the pump through
continous operation;
 failure to operate and store the
pump in a frost-free environment;
 unauthorised modification of the
pump (repairs to electrical equip-
ment may only be carried out by
qualified electricians!);
 use of spare parts which have not
been tested and approved by the
manufacturer; or
 use of unsuitable installation materi-
als (fittings, connection lines etc.).
Suitable installation materials:
 pressure-resistant (min. 10 bar)
 heat-resistant (min. 100°C).

5. Prior to Operation

The equipment is easily assembled and
connected. 
If in doubt, contact your specialist sup-
plier or qualified electrician.
5.1

Installation

 The equipment must be placed on a
plane and level surface, suitable of
10
bearing the weight of the equipment
fully filled with water.
 Um Vibrationen zu vermeiden, sollte
das Gerät auf eine elastische Unter-
lage gestellt werden.
 The installation location should be
well vented and protected from
atmospheric exposure.
 When operated at garden ponds
and pools the equipment must be
set up safe against flooding and pro-
tected from falling into the water.
supplier
Any additional legal requirements
are to be observed.
5.2

Suction line connection

3 Note: 
Possibly further accessories may
be required for connection (see "Availa-
ble Accessories").
A Caution! 
The suction line needs to be
installed in such manner that it does
not exert mechanical force or distor-
tion to the pump.
Caution! 
A
When pumping contaminated
fluids install a suction strainer to pro-
tect pump from sand and dirt.
Note: 
3
A check valve is recommended to
prevent water backflow when the pump
is switched off.
 All screw fittings are to be sealed
with thread sealing tape; leakages
cause priming of air and reduce or
prevent the priming of water.
 The suction line should be of at least
1" (25 mm) inner diameter; it must
be resistent to buckling and vacuum
proof.
 Keep suction line as short as practi-
cal, since with increasing length the
pump capacity is reduced.
 The
suction
towards the pump to prevent air
locks.
 A sufficient water supply must be
ensured, the foot valve at the end of
the suction line must be submerged
in water at all times.
5.3

Discharge port

Note: 

Possibly further accessories may
be required for connection (see "Availa-
ble Accessories").
Caution! 
A
The discharge (or pressure)

manner that it does not exert mechan-
ical force or distortion to the pump.

break during operation. Risk of per-
sonal injury by liquid spurting from
the line under high pressure!

ever, depending on length and diameter
of the suction line it may take some time
until pressure has built up.
1.
 All screw fittings should be sealed
with thread sealing tape to prevent
leakage.
 All parts of the pressure line must be
resistant to internal pressure.
 All parts of the pressure line must be
installed in a workmanlike manner.
Danger! 
A
Improper installation and use

Mains connection

Danger! Risk of electric shock! 
B
Do not operate the equipment
 Connect only to an earthed outlet
that is properly installed, earthed
and tested.
 Mains voltage and fuse protection
must correspond to those stated
in the "Technical Specications".
 When operated at pools, garden
ponds and similar locations, the
equipment must be protected by
a residual current
device (RCD, 30 mA) (DIN VDE
0100 -702, -738 or equivalent
applicable local regulations). 
We recommend the use of RCD's
as a general precaution for per-
sonal protection.
 When used outdoors all electri-
cal connections must be of the
splash-proof type; thez must not
be placed in water.
 Use only extension cables of suf-
ficient lead cross section (see
"Technical Specifications").
Unroll cable reels fully.
