or intellectual capabilities, or with limited experience and knowledge, provided that they are supervised or
have been instructed in the safe use of the appliance and are aware of the dangers involved. Children must
not be allowed to play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children
unless they are supervised

Pollution of the liquid could occur due to the leakage of lubricants
Use the handle provided to transport or lift the pump.
To use the pump in permanent installations with rigid pipes, to install a check valve to avoid the fluid being re-cir-
culated once the pump is stopped. The installation of a quick closing fitting in a convenient position facilitates
cleaning and maintenance operations.
The dimensions of the collection basin should reduce to the minimum the number of start-ups per hour (see LIMITA-
TIONS – Technical data).
To use the pump for temporary applications, install a flexible pipe and connect it to the pump using a pipe holder. To
immerse the pump, use a rope and fix it to the handle.
PENTAIR FLOTEC BIOX pumps have a pre-set floating switch. To change the setting, it is necessary to increase or
reduce the length of the floating switch cable by sliding it in the slot on the handle (See Fig. 1).
WARNING
Verify that the floating switch stops the pump as soon as the minimum level is reached.
WARNING
Make sure that the floating switch is free to move. (see also Fig. 1)
The pumps used in ponds, small lakes, fountains or similar installations or close to them should have a cut-out
switch. Contact a specialised electrician.
