c) Installation site and connection

• Operate the product in a way that it is out of reach of children.
• The use of the product near garden ponds, wells, swimming pools, water fountains or similar is only
permitted if the product is operated via a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) with a rated leakage
current of <= 30 mA.
• If there are persons in a swimming pool, swimming pond or garden pond, then the garden pump must
not be operated with that water
• In Austria, the product may be operated in the vicinity of swimming pools and garden ponds only if a
suitable ÖVE-tested safety isolating transformer is connected upstream in addition to the ground fault
circuit interrupter.
For other countries, please observe the applicable regulations.
• Place the garden pump at a safe distance from the pumped medium. The garden pump must not be
installed and operated in or under water. Otherwise, the product will be damaged, and there is a risk of
death from an electric shock!
• In the place of operation the ambient temperature must not be around or under the freezing point
(<0 °C). In such condition, the water freezes in the garden pump and the higher volume of ice destroys
the garden pump. Store the product in a dry place above freezing point during winter.
• Although the garden pump complies with the protection class IPX4, it must be operated in a place
protected against moisture and rainfall. In addition, protect the garden pump from direct sunlight,
extreme temperatures, dust and dirt.
• If you use an extension line or if the laying of cables to the garden pump is required, they must not have
a smaller cross-section than the garden pump itself. Use only extension leads with earthing contact
suitable for outdoor use.
• Protect the mains cable of the garden pump from cold/heat, oil/gasoline and sharp edges; do not step
on the power cord, do not drive on it (for example, a garden cart, bicycle, car). Never bend the mains
cable or place objects on it.
• Make sure that electrical plug-in connections are located in areas protected against flooding, otherwise,
there is a risk of fatal electric shock! If necessary, use suitable protective housings for the plug
connections.
• Protect the mains plug against moisture! Never plug in or unplug the product when your hands are wet.
There is a risk of fatal electric shock!
• The mains cable or the mains plug must not be cut off.
