Improper Use
The product may cause danger if used improperly or not for their intended purpose.
Under no circumstances must the pump be used for aggressive fluids, inflammable fluids, toxic fluids or other unapproved
solutions.
Do not use the pump if people are in the swimming pool.
TRANSPORT/WINTERIZING
The complete delivery should be checked immediately on arrival for completeness and any possible transport damage. Com-
plaints will only be accepted if they are reported to the shipper or manufacturer on the day of delivery.
The packaging materials should be reused if possible, or disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
Storage / Winterizing
Extended intermediate storage in an environment with high air humidity and changing temperatures should be
avoided. Condensation may damage the motor windings and other metallic parts. This will invalidate the guaran-
tee. The pump may also be damaged if exposed to frost. This will also invalidate the guarantee. Anti-freeze must not be used,
since this can cause damage to plastic parts.
In the event of risk of frost, the pump should be drained thoroughly. To do this, open the drain plug and allow water to drain
out of the pump. Also tip the pump upside down to drain any additional water from discharge port of the pump. The piping
system should also be emptied completely of water.
Check all water pipe connections when re-installing the pump after the winter or extended storage periods. Open the shut-off
valves in the suction and pressure lines. Close all drain valves in the system and on the pump. Start the pump in accordance
with the instructions given in the Installation section of this manual.
