3. Initial Operation
Setting up your Garden Pump:
The site must be firm and solid in order to ensure safe and sturdy
operating conditions for the pump.
➔
Position the pump at a safe distance from the liquid to be
pumped.
Connecting hose
Don’t use any hose connection system fittings on the suction side!
to suction side:
A vacuum-resistant suction hose must be used
•
e.g. GARDENA Suction Unit,
art. no. 1411
.
In order to reduce the suction time, it is advisable to use a suction
hose with backflow preventer avoiding automatic draining of the
suction hose when the pump is stopped.
1. Screw a vacuum-resistant suction hose airtight onto the con-
nector
on the suction side of the pump
.
2. For suction heights exceeding 4 m also secure the suction
hose
(e.g. by fastening it to a wooden post).
This relieves the pump of the weight of the suction hose.
Connection hose
The pump connection
is equipped with a 33.3 mm (G 1“)
to delivery side:
thread suitable for connecting 13 mm (1/2“), 16 mm (5/8“) or
19 mm (3/4“) hoses using the GARDENA hose connection system.
Best results regarding the delivery capacity of the pump are achie-
ved when connecting 19 mm (3/4”) hoses in conjunction with e.g.
• GARDENA Pump Connection Set,
art. no. 1752
,
or when using 25 mm (1”) hoses with fittings available from your
sanitary dealer.
➔
Connect the pressure hose to the connector
on the delivery
side
.
When connecting simultaneously more than 2 hoses/accessories
we recommend application of the
·
•
GARDENA Twin-Tap Connector or Four Channel Water
Distributor
art. no. 1210 / 1194
,
which can be screwed directly onto the delivery side connection
.

Garden Pump.
Dry-Running
➔
Before each operation, fill the pump to over-
flowing with approx. 2 to 3 l of the liquid to be
pumped!
1. Unscrew the screw fitting
of the filler cap
by hand.
2. Fill the pump via the filler cap
to overflowing with approx.
2 to 3 l of the liquid to be pumped.
3. Tighten the screw fitting
of the filler cap
by hand (do not
