Allowing the pump to run dry will increase wear and tear and cause overheating.
Always prevent the pump from running if no water is being moved and switch it off
immediately if this is the case.
Before you carry out checking or cleaning tasks on the pump you must switch it
off by removing the plug from the socket.
In order to prevent injury, never put your fingers into the suction opening on the
pump when the device is plugged in!
Close supervision is necessary when the product is used near children,
incapacitated persons or pets. The device is not suitable for use by persons
(including children) with a physical, sensual or mental limitation or a lack of
experience and knowledge, irrespective of whether they are being supervised or
have been issued with instructions in relation to the use of the device by a person
who is responsible for their safety.
Keep out of reach of children and never leave them unsupervised with the
appliance. Consequently, when selecting the location for your machine, do so in
such way that children do not have access to the appliance. Always ensure that
children cannot play with the device.
Never repair the pump, cable and/or plug yourself; always have this maintenance
carried out by an authorised expert. The importer and manufacturer accept no
liability for repairs and/or modifications to the pump if they have been carried out
by someone who is not qualified to do so. Such interventions also nullify the
guarantee.
WHERE CAN THE PUMP BE USED?
This submersible pump has been designed for private usage in or around the home
and garden.
Submersible pumps are primarily used for draining water, moving liquids and
emptying water reservoirs, cellars, boats etc., and also for temporary circulation of
water.
The pumps are completely watertight and can be submerged in liquid with a
maximum depth of 5 metres.
These pumps are not suitable for table fountains or aquariums. If the pump is used in
a pond containing fish, you must take measures to prevent the fish being sucked into
the pump.
This pump can be used to pump clean and lightly polluted, non-aggressive liquids.
The liquid may contain particles of max. 3mm (Flow-Pro 550CW) or max. 16mm
(Flow-Pro 550DW) diameter.
Sand (and similar materials) in the liquid that is to be pumped will have a corrosive
effect and will lead to increased wear and tear.
Corrosive, lightly flammable or explosive liquids (such as petrol, diesel, paraffin,
thinners etc), seawater, fats, oil, salty or contaminated water from toilets etc cannot
be pumped!
The temperature of the pumped liquids must not exceed 40°C.
Always prevent the pump from running if no water is being moved.
