• 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.
• Protect the mains plug from wetness! Never touch the mains plug with wet hands! There is danger to
life from electric shock!
• The mains cable or mains plug must not be cut off.
c) Operation
• The product must not be operated by children or teens. This also applies regarding persons who are not
familiar with these operating instructions. Persons with limited physical or mental capacities must only
use the product if supervised and instructed by a person responsible for them.
• Only fresh water with a temperature of no more than +35 °C must be conveyed.
• When pumping contaminated water, contaminations of a grain size up to 35 mm are admissible. Observe
that the diameter of the hose used and the required connections are designed for such contaminations.
• The product is not suitable for conveying potable water.
• The product is not suitable for conveying corrosive/caustic, flammable or explosive liquids (e.g. gasoline,
fuel oil, nitro diluent), grease, oils, salt water or sewage from toilets.
• The mains socket to which the dirt water pump is connected must be easily accessible. The mains cable
must point downwards from the mains socket so that the water running back at the cable cannot enter
the mains socket.
• If the dirt water pump is to be operated, e.g., in a well, it must be suitably attached, e.g. with a rope. The
rope must be able to hold at least 3 times the weight of the dirt water pump for reasons of safety. Never
attach the dirt water pump via its mains cable; also never use the mains cable to carry, hold or submerse
the dirt water pump!
• The product is not protected against running dry.
• The product must not be operated unsupervised.
• The product must not work in permanent operation.
• No persons must be present in the conveyed medium during operation.
• The product must not be operated in or close to explosive liquids or gases; there is a danger of explosion!
• Consequential damage caused by malfunction or interference at the dirt water pump must be prevented
by suitable measures (e.g. water level indicator, sensors, alarm devices, backup pump, etc.).
• The product is only suitable for use in temperate, not tropical, climates.
• Do not shut off the outlet side of the dirt water pump when it is in operation.
• Use, e.g., a corresponding pressure switch to switch off power supply to the dirt water pump in time.
The dirt water pump pressure must not work against the closed pressure side for more than 5 minutes
to prevent damage. The water present in the dirt water pump will heat up even during these 5 minutes.
When the pressure side is opened, hot water will escape; danger of scalding/injury!
