Warning ! Electric shock !
Risk of injury due to electric shock.
➔
Always unplug your Garden Pump before
filling, after operation, when trouble-
shooting and before carrying out any
maintenance work.
Hot water –
risk of scalding !
If the pump is operated for prolonged peri-
ods of time (> 5 min) with the delivery side
closed, the water in the pump may heat up
so that there is a risk of scalding yourself
with hot water.
➔
The pump should not run against the
closed delivery side for more than
5 minutes.
➔
If liquid fails to flow, switch off the pump
immediately.
Location
Caution: Pursuant to DIN VDE 0100-702 and
0100-738 use of the pump nearby swimming
pools and garden ponds and other similar pla-
ces is only permissible if the pump is operated
via a residual-current device (FI switch) with a
residual current rating of
30 mA. The pump
must be located on solid, even ground, protec-
ted from flooding. Take care that the pump
cannot fall into water. As an additional safety
device an authorised safety switch can be
used.
➔
Please ask your electrician for his advice.
Extension cables
Date indicated on the type plate must match
technical data of the mains supply.
Pursuant to DIN VDE 0620, power cable as
well as extension cables must not have a
smaller diameter than rubber sheathed cables
described with letter symbols H07 RNF.
➔
Don’t use the power cable for carrying the
pump or for plugging off.
2. For Your Safety
In Austria
In Austria, the electrical connections must be
made according to ÖVE-EM 42, T2
(2000)/1979 § 22 based on § 2022. Pursuant to
this regulation it’s imperative to operate pumps
for swimming pools and garden ponds exclusi-
vely via an isolating transformer.
➔
Please ask your electrician.
In Switzerland
In Switzerland mobile appliances which are
used outdoors, must be connected via a resi-
dual-current device.
Visual check
➔
Before operating the pump, first make a
visual cheek, if there is any damage of the
pump (esp. regarding power cable and
plug).
A damaged pump must not be used.
➔
In case of damage, please have the pump
checked by our GARDENA Service Centre
or by an authorised electrician.
Note
➔
Protect the pump from rain. Don’t use the
pump in 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 liquid.
➔
Before each operation, fill the pump to
overflowing with approx. 2 to 3 l of the
liquid to be pumped!
Sand and other abrasive substances in the
liquid cause in-creased wear and reduce the
pump’s output.
➔
Use a pump preliminary filter for pumping
sandy liquids.
The minimum flow rate is 80 l / h (= 1.3 l / min).
Watering accessories with lower rate must not
be operated.
