3. Function
The new GARDENA Economic Pumps come with energy-efficient,
reliable motor technology for powerful continuous operation. Up to
40 % energy saving compared to the technology used so far.
Thanks to AEC, the pump automatically optimises the flow rate
depending on the water temperature and so cuts the power con-
sumption by as much as a further 20 % (AEC set to “On” ). The
flow rate is reduced in the process by up to 50 %. The colder the
pond water, the lower the flow rate.
To ensure that the delivery capacity is always constant (e.g. when
the pump is used as a stream pump), AEC can also be switched
off (AEC set to “Off”).
Mains power cables should not have a smaller
cross-section than a rubber sheathed cable
of the designation H05 RN-F3G0,75 (art. no.
7862), H05 RN-F3G1 (art. no. 7863 / 7864 /
7865 / 7866). Extension cables must meet the
requirements of DIN VDE 0620.
Check line voltage. Data indicated on the type
plate must match technical data of the mains
supply.
Please unplug the pump after operation and
before carrying out any maintenance works.
The pump must not be operated when there
are people in the water. Swimming pools and
garden ponds should be designed according to
international and national design regulations.
v
Please consult a professional electrician.
For Austria :
Pumps for use on swimming pools and on
ponds may only be operated via an isolating
transformer.
v
Please consult a professional electrician.
For Switzerland :
In Switzerland mobile appliances which are
used outdoors, must be connected via a
residual-current device.
Note :
Do not allow the pump to run without
water because dry-running leads to an
undesirable build up of heat.
Before operating the pump, look to see if there
is any damage of the pump (esp. regarding
power cable and plug). The connection cable
of the pump cannot be replaced. If the cable
is damaged the pump must be scrapped.
Do not use the power cable to carry the pump
or to pull the plug out of the socket. Protect
the power cable from heat, oil and sharp
edges.
Ensure that the power cable cannot be
crushed if it has not been laid in conduit in
the earth or in gravel.
The temperature of the liquid used must not
be below 4 °C or above 35 °C.
Sand and other abrasive substances in the
liquid cause increased wear and reduce the
output of the pump.
Please observe the local noise prevention
regulations.
