3. Initial Operation
Setting up your Garden Pump:
The site must be firm and solid in order to ensure safe and sturdy
operating conditions for the pump.
➔
Position the pump at a safe distance from the liquid to be
pumped.
Connecting hose
Don’t use any hose connection system fittings on the suction side!
to suction side:
A vacuum-resistant suction hose must be used
The connection pieces on the intake and output sides must
only be tightened by hand !
•
e.g. GARDENA Suction Unit,
art. no. 1411
.
In order to reduce the suction time, it is advisable to use a suction
hose with backflow preventer avoiding automatic draining of the
suction hose when the pump is stopped.
1. Screw a vacuum-resistant suction hose airtight onto the con-
nector
on the suction side of the pump
.
2. For suction heights exceeding 4 m also secure the suction
hose (e.g. by fastening it to a wooden post).
This relieves the pump of the weight of the suction hose.
Connection hose
Both pump connectors
3a
are equipped with a 33.3 mm (G1)
to delivery side:
thread to which 13 mm (1/2”), 19 mm (3/4”) and 16 mm (5/8”)
hoses can be connected by using GARDENA hose connection
system fittings. The back pump connector is closed with an end
cap. Unscrew the end cap for connecting two hoses.
Best results regarding the delivery capacity of the pump are achie-
ved when connecting 19 mm (3/4”) hoses in conjunction with e.g.
• GARDENA Pump Connection Set,
art. no. 1752
,
or when using 25 mm (1”) hoses with fittings available from your
sanitary dealer.
➔
Connect the pressure hose to the connector
3a
on the delivery
side
.
When connecting simultaneously more than 2 hoses/accessories
we recommend application of the
·
•
GARDENA Twin-Tap Connector or Four Channel Water
Distributor
art. no. 1210 / 1194
,
which can be screwed directly onto the delivery side connection
.
4. Operation
Filling the pump:
Warning ! Electric shock !
Risk of injury due to electric shock.
➔
Disconnect from the mains before filling the
Garden Pump.
Dry-Running
➔
Before each operation, fill the pump to over-
flowing with approx. 2 to 3 l of the liquid to be
pumped!
1. Unscrew the screw fitting
of the filler cap
by hand.
2. Fill the pump via the filler cap
to overflowing with approx.
2 to 3 l of the liquid to be pumped.
3. Tighten the screw fitting
of the filler cap
by hand (do not
use pliers).
