For cleaning and other maintenance to a swimming pool:
9 The pump must not be used when people are in the water.
9 The pump must be supplied through a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA.
9 The pump is to be supplied by an isolating transformer or supplied through a residual current device having a rated residual operating
current not exceeding 30mA.
9 Familiarise yourself with application and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to the pump.
WARNING! Disconnect the pump from the mains power before changing accessories, servicing or performing any maintenance.
9 Maintain the pump in good condition (use an authorised service agent). Keep the pump clean.
9 If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agents.
9 Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
9 Only use for pumping liquids under 35°C.
CAUTION in order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut-out, this appliance must not be supplied through an
external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
9 If pump is used to pump water from a well, drain or deep receptacle, take adequate precautions to stop persons or animals from

NOTE: Never install the pump by suspending it unsupported from its delivery pipe or power cable. The submersible pump must be
suspended from the specially provided handle or be placed on the bottom of the shaft.
5.2. To guarantee that the pump works properly, the bottom of the shaft must be kept free of sludge and dirt of all kinds. If the level of
water sinks too far, any sludge in the shaft will dry out quickly and stop the pump from starting up. Therefore it is necessary to
check the submersible motor pump regularly (by carrying out start-up tests).
