2. Safety Instructions
Electrical safety
DANGER! Electric shock!
Risk of injury due to electric shock!
v
Always unplug your Pressure Tank Unit
before filling, after operation, when
troubleshooting and before carrying out
any maintenance work.
Caution: Pursuant to DIN VDE 0100-702 use of
the pump near to swimming pools and garden
ponds and other similar places is only permis-
sible if the pump is operated via a residual-
current device (FI switch) with a residual current
rating of ≤ 30 mA.
The pump must be located on solid, even
ground, protected from flooding. Take care
that the pump cannot fall into water.
As an additional safety device an authorised
safety switch can be used.
v
Please ask your electrician for his advice.
Data indicated on the type plate must match
the technical data of the mains supply.
Pursuant to DIN VDE 0620 the power cable as
well as any extension cable must not have a
smaller diameter than rubber sheathed cables
described with letter symbols H07 RNF.
Protect the power cable from heat, oil and
sharp edges.
Do not use the power cable for carrying the
pump or for unplugging.
In Austria
In Austria the electrical connection must
satisfy the ÖVE-EM 42, T2 (2000)/1979 § 22
to § 2022.1. This requires that pumps used
for swimming pools and garden ponds may
only be powered through an isolating trans-
former.
v
Please ask your electrician for his advice.
In Switzerland
In Switzerland portable devices that are used
outdoors must be connected through an earth
leakage circuit breaker. Mobile appliances
that are used outdoors must be connected via
a residual-current device.
General Information
Risk of injury due to hot water!
If the pressure switch is defective or if the
water supply on the intake side of the pump
fails, any water remaining in the pump may
heat up, generating a risk of injuries caused
by hot water on leakage.
The pump is equipped with a temperature
fuse, which switches off the pump at high
temperatures (approx. 65 °C) (orange war-
ning lamp lights up).
v
After temperature-related cut-out,
disconnect the pump from the mains
via the main circuit breaker, let the water
cool (approx. 10 – 15 min.) and secure the
water supply on the intake side before
putting into operation again.
v
Before operating the pressure tank unit, first
make a visual check to ensure there is no
damage to the pressure tank unit (especially
regarding power cable and plug).
A damaged pressure tank unit must not be
used.
v
In case of damage, please have the
pressure tank unit checked by our
GARDENA Service Centre or by an
authorised electrician.
Protect the pump from rain. Do not use
the pressure tank unit in a wet or moist
area.
In order to avoid dry-running of the pressure
tank unit, take care that the end of the suction
hose is always submerged into the liquid.
The pressure tank unit must not be run dry
nor with the stopcock in the suction pipework
closed.
v
Before each operation, fill the pressure tank
unit to overflowing with approx. 2 to 3 l of the
liquid to be pumped!
Sand and other abrasive substances in the
liquid cause increased wear and reduce the
pump’s output.
When using the pump for domestic water
supply, please adhere to the local water and
sewerage regulations. In addition observe
the regulations of DIN 1988.
v
If necessary contact your local water
authority.
