a) General Information

• The unauthorised conversion and/or modification of the product are prohibited for safety and approval
reasons. Furthermore, the guarantee/warranty will expire!
• The product is not a toy. Children cannot judge the dangers involved when handling electrical devices.
• The product corresponds to protection type IPX8.
• The product is designed according to protection class I. Only a proper protective contact mains socket
of the public mains must be used as a voltage source (for the operating voltage of the barrel pump, see
chapter "Technical Data").
• Do not leave packaging material unattended. It may become a dangerous toy for children.
• Handle the product with care; impacts, shock or fall even from low heights will damage it.

b) Site of setup, connection

• Install or operate the product in a way that it is out of reach of children.
• Using the product in or close to garden ponds, wells, swimming pools, fountains, etc. is only permissible
if the product is operated by a leakage current protection switch (FI-protection switch) with a nominal
error current of <=30 mA.
If persons are present in a pool, swimming pond or garden pond, the product must not be operated in it.
• In Austria, the product must only be installed and operated in or close to swimming pools and garden
ponds if a suitable ÖVE-tested safety separating transformer is switched in front of it in addition to the
leakage current protection switch.
• There must not be any ambience temperatures around or below freezing (<0 °C) at the operating site.
The water in the barrel pump would freeze and the higher volume of ice destroy the barrel pump. Store
the product dry and protected from frost in winter.
• If you need an extension cable or if cables must be routed to the barrel pump, they must not have a
cross-section of less than the barrel pump itself. Only use extension lines with protective ground that are
suitable for outdoor operation.
• Protect the mains cable of the barrel pump against cold/heat, oil/gasoline and sharp edges; do not step
on the mains cable, do not drive on it (e.g. wheelbarrow, bicycle, car). Do not bend the mains cable and
do not place any objects on it.
• Ensure that electrical plug connections are in flooding-safe areas; otherwise, there is a danger to life
from electric shock! If required, use suitable protective housings for the plug connections.
