5 SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
▪ This water pump has no water-sprinkling protection feature and should be placed only in a
dry environment. Never place the water pump or operate it in the rain or in a humid space.
▪ This water pump should not be used with flammable or harmful liquids.
▪ Idle operation of the water pump must be avoided.
▪ This water pump is for work in clean water. The scope of its application includes irrigation
in the garden, water supply to a household, sprinkling in a garden or on farmland.
▪ This water pump may not be exposed for long periods to impurities, sand, stone, sticky
substances, etc., mixed in with the conveyed media. Because the conveyed media may
contain chemical corrosive substances, it is necessary to pay special attention to
preventing influence by these on the material of the pump body. It is not permitted to use
this water pump to convey drinking water.
This appliance cannot be used by children or people who are physically,
mentally or developmentally impaired, or people who lack experience or
knowledge, except in case these people receive instruction from a person
responsible for their safety, a supervisor, or by studying the preceding
instructions concerning use of this appliance.
6 ASSEMBLY
▪ During the installation of the water pump, the power supply to the water pump must be
switched off.
▪ During installation of the equipment, it is necessary to keep it under dry and well-ventilated
conditions, at an ambient temperature below 40°C.
▪ If the required pumping water is excessive due to your own action, resulting in flooding of
the irrigation site, a number of protective measures may be taken (e.g. installation of a
device for discharging the excess water, an alarm, standby pump, water container, etc.).
However, our company is not responsible for any losses thus caused.
▪ Before use, the water pump should be inspected for safety to ensure that there is no
damage to the power cable or the plug.
6.1 Electrical connection
▪ The electrician responsible for installation must check to ensure that the electrical
connection is in accordance with the standard, including the earth terminal.
▪ It is necessary to check the rated current of the electric contact with protective switch - this
must be 30mA.
6.2 Earth
The water pump must be well earthed. Short-circuiting will render the relevant articles of the
guarantee invalid. If it is necessary to increase the length of the original cable, a cable with the
same section as the original cable must be used.
7 OPERATION
The pumps are not self-priming pumps. This means that the suction hose should first of all be
fitted with:
1 Non-return valve with filter; this ensures that, after disconnecting the pump, the hose
and the pump do not run dry. This part of the hose is suspended in the water to be
pumped away.
2 Hose with coupling nut; this end of the hose is attached to the front of the pump.
3 Both accessories should be securely screwed on to the hose using a hose clip.
