WARNING
Severe injuries or death due to operation of this unit in a swimming pond. Defective electrical components will electrify the water with dangerous electrical voltage. Never operate the unit in a swimming pond.
WARNING
The unit is subject to dangerous voltage and must not be installed directly adjacent to the water. Otherwise there is a risk of severe injuries or death by electrocution. Install the unit at a distance of at least 2 m from the water to ensure that it is pro-
tected against flooding.
· Ensure that the connection to the power supply is at least 6.6 ft from the pond. · Place the pump horizontally on a stable, mud-free surface. · The pump is under water, the nozzle intake emerges from the water.
TIP! Thoroughly clean the pond or pool and place the pump approx. 200 mm above the bottom of the pond, so that no muddy water runs through the pump. · Muddy water will cause the nozzle to clog faster and the impeller unit to become
worn prematurely.
