Circuit breakers
Dry-running protection:
If the water level is too low, the pump switches off automatically.
v
Submerge the pump deeper into the water.
Thermal protection switch:
In the event of an overload, the pump is switched off by the built-in thermal motor
protection. After sufficient cooling of the motor, the pump is operational again.
Automatic venting
This pump is equipped with a vent valve which eliminates any air pockets in the
pump. Depending on the function, a small amount of water can escape below
the handle.
Additional safety warnings
Electrical safety
DANGER! Cardiac arrest!
This product makes an electromagnetic field while it operates. This
field may under some conditions interfere with active or passive medical
implants. To decrease the risk of conditions that can possibly injure or
kill, we recommend persons with medical implants to speak with their
physician and the medical implant manufacturer before you operate the
product.
Cables:
If extension cables are used, these must comply with the minimum cross-
sections in the table below:
Voltage
Cable length
Cross section
230 – 240 V / 50 Hz
Up to 20 m
1.5 mm

DANGER! Electric shock!
With a cut off mains plug, moisture can get into electrical parts via the
mains cable and cause a short circuit.
v
Never cut the mains plug off (e. g. to feed through wall).
v
Don’t use the power cable for plugging off.
v
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Mains plug and extension connections must be protected from water splashes.
Ensure that the electrical connections for plugs and sockets are made in areas
safe from flooding.
Protect the mains plug and the mains power cable from heat, oil and sharp
edges.
Observe the mains voltage. The information on the nameplate must be in agree-
ment with the data for the mains power grid.
The pump’s mains plug must be disconnected before anybody enters the swim-
ming pool.
The mains power cable must not be used for fastening or transporting the pump.
Submersion and withdrawal of the pump should be by means of the telescopic
pipe. Alternatively, a cord can be secured on the pump for submersing, lifting and
securing of the Rain Water Tank Pump.
Please regularly check the connecting line.
Before using, always subject the pump (especially the power cables and the
power connections) to a visual inspection.
A pump which is damaged should not be used. In the event of damage, have
the pump checked by GARDENA Service.
Do not disassemble the pump any further than the delivery condition.
Before use after maintenance, make sure that all parts are screwed together.
When using our pumps with a generator, the warnings of the generator manu-
facturer must be observed.
Personal safety
DANGER! Risk of suffocation!
Small parts can be easily swallowed. There is also a risk that the poly-
bag can suffocate toddlers. Keep toddlers away when you assemble the
product.
Observe the minimum water level in accordance with the characteristics given for
the pump.
Only for Art. 1762 / 1764: Allow the pump to run no longer than 10 minutes
against a closed pressure side.
Sand and other abrasive substances cause increased wear and reduce the
pump’s output.
The pump must not be operated without the filter.
The float switch may only be operated outside the water.
The hose must not be disconnected during operation.
Allow the pump to cool down before troubleshooting.
2. ASSEMBLY
DANGER! Risk of injury!
Injury when the product starts accidentally.
v
Disconnect the product from the mains before you assemble
the product.
To assemble the telescopic pipe [ Fig. A1 ]:
We recommend the use of a GARDENA Hose Connector for connecting
a garden hose:
– Art. 18215 for 13 mm (1/2") and 16 mm (5/8") or
– Art. 18216 for 19 mm (3/4"). With the use of 19-mm-(3/4")-hose line,
the pumping quantity is the greatest.
The telescopic pipe can be adjusted between 38 – 55 cm.
1. Only for Art. 1766: Screw the upper part of the telescopic pipe
ß
1a
counterclockwise onto the lower part of the telescopic pipe
ß
1b
.
Make sure that the small washer
ß
2a
is located in the connecting
thread of the lower part of the telescopic pipe
ß
1b
.
2. Only for Art. 1762 / 1764: Put the float switch locking
(A)
on the pump
connector
(3)
.
3. Screw the telescopic pipe
(1)
onto the pump connector
(3)
. Make
sure that the big washer
ß
2b
is located in the connecting thread of the
telescopic pipe
(1)
.
4. Loosen the threaded collar
(4)
of the telescopic pipe
(1)
.
5. Adjust the telescopic pipe
(1)
to the desired height and tighten the
threaded collar
(4)
again.
6. Connect the garden hose to the telescopic pipe
(1)
.
The telescopic pipe
(1)
is fitted with a GARDENA Shut-Off Valve
(5)
.
The shut-off valve
(5)
can also be used for fine adjustment of the pump
performance.
3. OPERATION
DANGER! Risk of injury!
Injury when the product starts accidentally.
v
Disconnect the product from the mains before you connect,
adjust or transport the product.
To pump water from a container [ Fig. O1 ]:
The length of the telescopic pipe
(1)
should be adjusted in such a manner
that the pump does not touch the bottom of the container; this way, dirt in
the container is kept away from the pump.
1. Hang the pump from the telescopic pipe
(1)
into the container.
2. If necessary, extend the telescopic tube
(1)
with a hose
(see 8. ACCESSORIES).
3. Connect the pump to the mains.
Attention! The pump begins operating immediately.
Applications:
In shallow vessels [ Fig. O2 ]:
If the rain water tank pump is placed in flat containers, e. g. to empty
a paddling pool, the telescopic pipe can be removed and replaced with
the
– GARDENA tap connector 33.3-mm (G 1) Art. 18202 / 18042 / 2602.
The hose connection 13 mm (1/2"), 16 mm (5/8") or 19 mm (3/4") is made
using the Original GARDENA System or GARDENA Profi “Maxi-Flow”
System threaded hose connectors.
In deep containers:
For deeper containers (up to max. 7 m), the pump can no longer be
hung on the telescopic pipe. The pump must then be attached through
a cord connected to the pump and submersed into the container.
We recommend to attach the hose to the pump without the telescopic
tube.
Operation of a Micro-Drip-System:
The operation of a Micro-Drip-System is possible.
Only for Art. 1762: The pump is ideally suited for connection to
a Micro-Drip-System without a Master Unit.
Only for Art. 1766: From 100 l/h the pump runs continuously.
Below this, the pump frequently switches on and off and switches
to the small quantity program.
