Hazards encountered by the combination of water and electricity
 The combination of water and electricity can lead to death or severe injury from electrocution, if the unit is incorrectly
connected or misused.
 Prior to reaching into the water, always switch off the mains voltage to all units used in the water.

Correct electrical installation

 Electrical installations must meet the national regulations and may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
 A person is regarded as a qualified electrician, if, due to his/her vocational education, knowledge and experience, he
or she is capable of and authorised to judge and carry out the work commissioned to him/her. This also includes the
recognition of possible hazards and the adherence to the pertinent regional and national standards, rules and regu-
lations.
 For your own safety, please consult a qualified electrician.
 The unit may only be connected when the electrical data of the unit and the power supply coincide. The unit data is
to be found on the unit type plate or on the packaging, or in this manual.
 Ensure that the unit is fused for a rated fault current of max. 30 mA by means of a fault current protection device.
 Extension cables and power distributors (e. g. outlet strips) must be suitable for outdoor use.
 Protect the plug connections from moisture.
 Only plug the unit into a correctly fitted socket.

Safe operation

 Never operate the unit if either the electrical cables or the housing are defective!
 Do not carry or pull the unit by its electrical cable.
 Route cords/hoses/lines in a way that they are protected against damage, and ensure that they do not present a
tripping obstacle.
 Only open the unit housing or its attendant components, when this is explicitly required in the operating instructions.
 Only execute work on the unit that is described in this manual. If problems cannot be overcome, please contact an
authorised customer service point or, when in doubt, the manufacturer.
 Only use original spare parts and accessories for the unit.
 Never carry out technical modifications to the unit.
 Only operate the unit if no persons are in the water!
 Keep the socket and power plug dry.
Unit installation (A, B)
The unit floats on the water. To keep it in position, the enclosed wire cables are fastened to the unit and either to the
bank or to the pond bottom.
Anchoring the unit at the bank (A): Shorten the two wire cables to the desired length. Form loops at the cable ends and
fasten with the cable clamps (3). Hook the cables into the eyebolts (4) at the skimmer housing by means of bayonet
hooks (1). Knock the two tent pegs (2) into the bank ground. Important: Adhere to the specified bracing angles (6) to
prevent the unit from moving. Set the unit in the water and hook the cables to the tent pegs (2) using the bayonet
hooks (1). Attention: Pull relieve the connection cable (8) and protect the power plug from moisture!
Anchoring the unit to the pond bottom (B): Shorten the two wire cables to the desired length (minimum 5 m). Form
loops at the cable ends and fasten with the cable clamps (3). Hook the cables into the eyebolts (4) at the skimmer
housing by means of bayonet hooks (1). For anchoring to the pond bottom, screw the enclosed threaded hooks (9)
including the dowel, for instance, into two sufficiently heavy stones. Hook both cables with bayonet hooks (1) in the
threaded hook (9), lower the stones to the bottom of the pond and set the unit on the water. Attention: Pull relieve the
connection cable (8) and protect the power plug from moisture!
