When connecting the pump to the water supply
system, the country-specific sanitary regula-
tions must be observed to prevent water not of
drinking water quality being drawn back in.
DANGER! Electric shock!
The pump must not be used when people are
in water.
Make sure that the electrical plug and socket
connections are fitted in an area which cannot
be flooded.
Protect the power plug from moisture.
DANGER! Electric shock!
With a cut off mains plug, moisture can get into
electrical parts via the mains cable and cause
a short circuit.
Do not cut the mains plug off (e. g. to feed
through a wall).
Do not 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.
Extension cables
Data indicated on the type plate must match
the technical data of the mains supply.
Following 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.
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.
Protect the power cable from heat, oil and
sharp edges.
v
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 a residu-
al-current device.
General Information
DANGER!
Scalding from hot water!
The water can get very hot during operation
(particularly if only small quantities are
drawn).
v
Before carrying out any work on the
pump, allow it to cool down (for at least
30 minutes).
Visual check
v
Before operating the pump, first make
a visual check to ensure there is no damage
to the pump (especially regarding power
cable and plug).
A damaged pump must not be used.
v
In case of damage, please have the pump
checked by our GARDENA Service Centre
or by an authorised electrician.
Safety in operation
Protect the pump from rain. Do not use
the pump in a wet or moist area.
In order to avoid dry-running of the pump,
take care that the end of the suction hose is
always submerged into the water.
v
Before each operation, fill the pump to
overflowing with approx. 2 to 3 l of water
to be pumped!
Very fine sand can pass through the inte-
grated filter (mesh size 0.45 mm) and cause
accelerated wear in the hydraulic parts.
v
For sandy water, you should additionally use
the GARDENA pump pre-filter, art. no. 1730
(mesh size 0.1 mm).
Please ensure that no unauthorised persons
or children are within reach of the pump and
the pumped medium without supervision.
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.
