For stationary installation, please fasten the pump on a suitable, solid surface. To reduce vibration, it is
recommended to apply an anti-vibration material - for instance a rubble layer - between the pump and the
installation surface.
To begin, pre-drill four holes. Please use the support feet (18) as a template for marking the bore holes. Place the
unit in the desired position, then lead a centre punch or a pencil through the openings in the support feed to mark
the position of the bore holes.
Put the device aside, then use a suitable drill for pre-drilling the four holes. Place the device back into the desired
position, then fasten it there using suitable screws and washers.

Using the pump for garden ponds and similar places
Operating the pump next to garden ponds and similar places is generally only admissible if no
persons are in contact with the water.
If the pump is used for garden ponds and similar places it has to be operated using a residual current circuit-
breaker (FI switch) with a nominal trigger current of ≤ 30mA (DIN VDE 0100-702 and 0100-738). Please ask your
electrical services provider whether your installation site complies with this condition.
The pump must not be used in such locations unless it is set up firmly and flood-proof, a minimum distance of two
metres away from the border of the water body and secured against falling into the water by a solid holding
device. For this purpose the device is to be bolted down firmly to the ground at the fastening points provided
(please refer to the chapter titled "Stationary installation").
6. Electrical connection
The unit is equipped with a mains connection cable and a mains plug. It must only be replaced by qualified staff to
avoid any danger. Please do not use the mains connection cable to carry the pump, and do not use this cable to
pull off the plug from the socket, either. Protect the mains connection cable and mains plug from heat, oil or sharp
edges.
The values stated in the technical details have to correspond to the mains voltage. The person
responsible for the installation has to make sure that the electrical connection is earthed in
compliance with the applicable standards.
The electrical connection has to be equipped with a highly sensitive residual current circuit-
breaker (FI switch): ∆ = 30 mA (DIN VDE 0100-739).
Only use an extension cable with a cable section (3 x 1.0 mm²) and rubber sheath which at
least corresponds to that of the unit's own connection cable (see "Technical data", cable type)
and which is labeled with the relevant abbreviation according to the VDE (German Association
for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies). The mains plug and other connections
must be splash-proof.
7. Putting into operation
Please observe the illustrations, too, which are contained as an attachment at the end of the present operating
instructions. The numeric and other details included in brackets below refer to these illustrations.
Prior to putting the pump into operation for the very first time, the pump housing
should be fully vented - i.e. filled with water - even in the case of self-priming
units. If this venting is omitted, the pump will not suck in the liquid to be
discharged. It is highly recommendable, yet not mandatory, to vent the intake
line as well, i.e. to fill it with water.
The pump must only be operated in the performance range indicated on the type plate.
Dry-running - i.e. operating the pump without discharging water - is to be avoided since the
absence of water may cause the pump to run hot. This may cause considerable damage on
the device. Moreover, this means that very hot water will be enclosed within the system so that
there is a hazard of scalding. If the pump has run hot, please pull off the mains plug and allow
the system to cool down.
