The device must not be used for drinking water
supply or for conveying food supplies.
Explosive, combustible, aggressive or other
substances that are harmful to health must not be
conveyed.
The device is not suitable for commercial or indus-
trial use.
This device is not designed for use by persons
(including children) with limited physical, sensory
or mental aptitude or lack of experience and/or
knowledge.
Unauthorised modifications to the device and the
use of parts that are not tested and approved by
the manufacturer are prohibited.
All improper use of the device is regarded as non-
specified use; this can result in unpredictable
damage! The user bears sole responsibility for any
damage caused by improper use.

tions and the enclosed safety information must be
observed.
3. General Safety Instructions
For your own protection and for the
protection of your appliance, pay atten-
tion to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
WARNING – Reading the operating
instructions will reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING Read all safety warnings and
instructions. Failure to follow all safety
warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety instructions and information
for future reference.
Pass on your pump only together with these docu-
ments.
Information in these operating instructions is cate-
gorised as shown below:
Danger! Risk of personal injury or environ-
mental damage.
Risk of electric shock! Risk of personal
injury by electric shock.
Caution! Risk of material damage
4. Special Safety Instructions
Children, adolescents and per-
sons who are not familiar with the
operating instructions must not
use the device.
Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
When the pump is being used in
swimming pools and garden
ponds and in the protected areas
around them, the provisions of
DIN VDE 0100-702 and -738 must
be observed.

The device must be supplied via a
residual-current device (RCD)
with a rated residual current of
max. 30 mA.
The device must not be used if
there are persons in the water.
When used for domestic water
supply, the statutory water and
waste water specifications
according to DIN 1988 must be
observed.
The following residual risks
essentially remain when operating
pumps and pressure vessels can-
not be fully eliminated (depending
on features) – even if safety meas-
ures have been introduced.
4.1 Danger from the environ-
ment!
Do not expose device to rain. Do
not operate device in a damp or
wet environment.
Do not use the pump in hazardous
areas or near inflammable liquids
and gases!
4.2 Danger: Hot water!
Danger! Install a check valve
at the suction connection (12)
to prevent water from flowing back
into the suction line. This can
reduce the following danger:
Hot water can cause damage and
leaks on the pump and the con-
nection lines, allowing hot water to
escape. Danger of scalding!
Devices with the designation
HWW...: If the shut-off pressure of
the pressure switch cannot be
reached due to poor pressure
conditions or a defective pressure
switch, the water can heat up
within the pump as a result of
internal circulation.
Devices with the designation P...:
Operate the pump a max. of 5 min-
utes against the closed discharge
line. Water that circulates inside
the device is heated up.
In the event of a fault, unplug the
pump from the power-supply sys-
tem and allow to cool. A specialist
must check the system to make
sure it is in perfect working order
before it can be used again.
4.3 Danger! Risk of electric
shock!
Never direct the water jet directly
at the device or other electrical
components! Risk of fatal electric
shock!
Prior to installation and mainte-
nance tasks, always disconnect
the device from the power-supply
system.
Do not touch the plug with wet
hands! To disconnect, always pull
on the plug, not the power cable.
Do not buckle, squeeze, drag or
drive over power cable or exten-
sion cables; protect from sharp
edges, oil and heat.
4.4 Danger due to device defi-
ciencies or malfunctions!
Before each use, check the
device for possible damage -
especially the mains cable, mains
plug and electrical components.
Risk of fatal electric shock!
A damaged device must only be
reused after it has been correctly
repaired.
Do not attempt to repair the pump
yourself! Only specialists are per-
mitted to repair pumps and pres-
sure vessels (depending on fea-
tures).
Caution! To prevent water
damage, e.g. flooded rooms,
caused by device malfunctions or
deficiencies:
- Introduce suitable safety meas-
ures, e.g.: alarm system or col-
lecting tank with monitor
The manufacturer is not liable for
any damage caused by:
- improper use of the pump;
- overloading of the pump through
continuous operation;
- failure to operate and store the
pump in a frost-free environment;
- unauthorised modification of the
pump (repairs to electrical equip-
ment may only be carried out by
qualified electricians!);
- use of spare parts which have
not been tested and approved by
the manufacturer; or
- use of unsuitable installation
materials (fittings, connection
lines etc.).
Suitable installation materials:
- pressure-resistant (min. 10 bar)
- heat-resistant (min. 100 °C).
When using universal swivel cou-
plings (bayonet couplings), only
use versions with an additional
securing ring to ensure safe seal-
ing.
