4. Operation
When setting up the pump for use in water :
v
Plug the mains plug of the pump into a 230 V / 50 Hz alternat-
ing current socket.
The pump starts.
When setting up the pump for use out of water
1. Fill the pump to overflowing with approx. 2 l of the liquid
to be pumped (see “3. Initial Operation”,
“Filling the pump” ).
2. Open all possible shut-off devices in the pressure line
(watering accessories, Water Stop, etc.).
3. Drain remaining water in pressure hose so that air can escape
during the suction process.
4. Plug the mains plug of the pump into a 230 V / 50 Hz alternat-
ing current socket.
The pump starts.
5. Hold the hose

at the delivery side approx. 1 m vertically
above the pump until the pump begins to pump.
v
If the pump has still not started pumping after 7 minutes,
unplug the mains plug (see 6. Trouble Shooting).
When using the pump for pressure intensification, the max. per-
missible internal pressure of 6 bar (on the delivery side) must
not be exceeded. The to be increased delivery pressure and the
pump pressure sum up.
•
Example: pressure at the water tap 1.5 bar, max. pressure of
the GARDENA Dual Pump 5000 / 3 SGP = 3.3 bar, total pres-
sure = 4.8 bar.
5. Maintenance
The GARDENA Dual Pump is virtually maintenance-free.
6. Trouble-Shooting
If the impeller blocks or clogs you can remove the dirt to free
the impeller.
1. Unscrew the screw plug

using
a screwdriver.
2. You can now turn the impeller
shaft

in the casing using a
screwdriver.
This will free the blocked or clogged
impeller.
3. Replace the screw plug

using
a screwdriver.
