2. Safety Instructions
DANGER! Electric shock!
Risk of injury due to electric shock.
v Always unplug your Garden Pump before fil-
ling, after operation, when trouble-shooting
and before carrying out any maintenance work.
RISK OF INJURY!
Hot water – risk of scalding!
For pump 4000/5 only: If the pump is operated
for prolonged periods of time (> 5 min.) with
the delivery side closed, the water in the pump
may heat up so that there is a risk of scalding
yourself with hot water.
v The pump should not run against the closed
delivery side for more than 5 minutes.
If the water supply on the intake side of the
pump fails, the water in the pump can heat up
so that if water emerges, injuries could be
caused by the hot water.
v Disconnect the pump from the mains via
the main circuit breaker, let the water cool
and secure the suction-side water supply
before putting into operation again.
Location
Caution: Pursuant to DIN VDE 0100-702 and
0100-738, AS/NZS 3000 use of the pump nearby
swimming pools and garden ponds and other
similar places is only permissible if the pump is
operated via a residual-current device (FI switch)
with a residual current rating of ≤ 30 mA.
The pump must not be operated when there are
persons in the swimming pool or garden pond.
The pump must be located on solid, even ground,
protected from flooding. Take care that the pump
cannot fall into water. Position the pump at a safe
