Electric shock !With a cut off mains plug, moisture can get intoelectrical parts via the mains cable and cause ashort circuit.V Never cut the mains plug off (e.g. tofeed through wall).v Don’t use the power cable for plugging off.The power cable or the float switch must notbe used for mounting or relocating the pump.For submerging or lifting /securing the pump,fix a rope to the pump’s carrying handle.Extension cables must meet the requirementsof DIN VDE 0620.In AustriaIn Austria, according to ÖVE B / EN 60 555part 1 to 3, pumps which are used in swim-ming pools and garden ponds, and equippedwith firm power cable should be fed via anÖVE approved isolating transformer – ratedvoltage must not exceed 230 V.In SwitzerlandIn Switzerland mobile appliances which areused outdoors, must be connected via aresidual-current device.Visual checkv Before operating the pump, first makea visual check, if there is any damageof the pump (esp. regarding power cableand plug).v Observe the minimum water level andthe max. delivery height (see 8.
