Battery Safety
Danger of fire !
➔
Never charge the battery near
to acids and easily inflammable
materials.
Danger of Explosion !
➔
Never throw a worn out battery
on to an open fire.
The battery is not watertight, but can
remain suspended on the rainwater butt in
rain.
The battery connection line may not be used
for attaching or transporting the pump. The
pump can be submerged or raised via the
telescopic pipe. Alternatively, a rope can be
attached to the carrying handle to submerge,
raise and secure the battery pump.
The battery may only be charged using the
NL12 charger supplied as only the latter
guarantees optimum technical harmonisation
between the battery and the charger. Using
other chargers may result in injury to persons/
damage to property. The use of other chargers
will result in loss of all claims for liability and
warranty claims against the manufacturer.
Never charge the Accu after having been
heated up by operation or sun.
➔
Let it cool down first.
Never expose the Accu to direct sunlight while
charging.
➔
Always detach the battery from the pump to
charge it.
Fully discharging the battery can destroy it.
➔
Charge low battery immediately.
Only use the battery for the battery pump.
Under extreme conditions some accu acid
could escape. This, however, does not repre-
sent a defect. Proceed as follows should the
casing leak:
1. Immediately wash the affected area of the
skin with soap and water.
2. Neutralize the accu acid with vinegar or
lemon juice.
3. If accu acid should get into your eyes,
rinse your eyes for at least 10 minutes
with fresh water. Then contact your doctor
immediately !
Inspection
Always inspect the battery pump (especially
the connection line) before using it.
A damaged pump may not be used. If dama-
ged, it is essential to have the pump checked
by GARDENA Service.
Safety Instructions
Dry-running destroys the pump !
➔
Switch the pump off immedia-
tely the conveyed fluid runs out
(turn knob to "0“).
➔
Comply with the minimum depth of water
stipulated in the specification for the pump.
Do not allow the pump to run with the output
side closed.
Electronic Circuit-Breaker
If overloaded, the pump is switched off by the
electronic protective switch in the Accu. The
motor starts again automatically when it has
cooled down (see
6. Trouble-Shooting
).
Automatic Venting
The pump is fitted with a vent valve.
The purpose of this vent valve is to remove
any cushion of air present in the pump.
3. Initial Operation
We recommend using a GARDENA hose connection:
Art. (2)915/2025
for 13 mm (1/2”),
Art. (2)916/2026
for 16 mm
(5/8”) and
Art. 2817
for 19 mm (3/4”) for connecting a garden
hose.
The 1/2” hose should not be more than 20 m long.
A relatively higher water pressure (greater spraying power)
is to be expected from the watering equipment when 19 mm
(3/4”) hose connections are used because the friction losses in the
hose are lower.
