Electric components

DANGER
Risk of electric shock.
 Check the power cord with mains plug for damage
before every use. If the power cord is damaged,
please arrange immediately for the exchange by an
authorized customer service or a skilled electrician.
 All electrical sockets should be fixed in an area that
is protected against floods.
 Unsuitable electrical extension cables can be haz-
ardous. Only use electrical extension cables out-
doors which have been approved and labelled for
this purpose and have an adequate cable cross-
section.
 The mains plug and the coupling of an extension
cable must be watertight and must never lie in wa-
ter. Moreover, the coupling may never lie on the
ground. The use of cable reels that ensure that the
sockets are at least 60 mm above the ground is
recommended.
 Do not use the power cord to carry/ transport the
machine.
 To separate the machine from the mains, pull the
plug and not the power cord.
 Do not scrape the power cord across sharp edges
and ensure that it does not get pressed.
The voltage indicated on the type plate must corre-

spond to the voltage of the electrical source.

 To avoid risks, all repairs and replacement of spare
parts may only be carried out by the authorised
customer service personnel.
 Operate pumps only on sockets that are equipped
with a fault current protection switch with a nominal
fault current of max. 30 mA and a protective-earth
contact (earthing).
 Check the fault current protection switch and the
protective earth contact (earthing) for proper func-
tion at regular intervals.
 Never operate the pumps while there are persons
in the pool or garden pond.
 Do not touch feed fluids, the rope attached to the
carrying handle as well as objects that are in con-
tact with the feed fluid (e.g. pipelines extending into
the water, railings, etc.).
 In Austria pumps to be used in swimming pools
and garden ponds should be equipped with a fixed
connection line according to ÖVE B/EN 60555 Part
1 to 3; power supply should be via a ÖVE-tested
isolating transformer whereby the secondary nom-
inal voltage should not exceed 230V.
 The electrical connection of the system may only
be performed by a qualified electrician. Please fol-
low the respective national regulations!
