Do not carry or pull the Floating Skimmer Set by the cable and do not use the cable to pull the plug out of the socket.

Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.

Do not allow the pump to run without water because dry running will lead to an undesirable build up of heat and to the pump being damaged.
