con tinuous operation (e.g. industrial use, continuous circulation
operations). Corrosive, easily combustible, aggressive or explosive
liquids (such as gasoline, petroleum or nitro thinner), saltwater
and food must not be pumped. The temperature of the liquid must
not exceed 35 °C.
The product must be supplied through a residual current device (RCD) having
a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA.
The pump must be located on solid, even ground, protected from flooding.
Take care that the pump cannot fall into water.
As an additional safety device an authorised safety switch can be used.
v
Please ask your electrician for his advice.
Data indicated on the type plate must match the technical data of the mains
supply.
Pursuant to 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 H05RN-F.
Protect the power cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.
Do not use the power cable for carrying the pump or for unplugging.
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.
The pump must not be used when people are in water.
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 an earth leakage circuit breaker. Mobile appliances that are used out-
doors must be connected via a residual-current device.
General safety warnings
Risk of injury due to hot water!
If the pressure switch is defective or if the water supply on the intake
side of the pump fails, any water remaining in the pump may heat up,
generating a risk of injuries caused by hot water on leakage.
The pump is equipped with a temperature fuse, which switches off the
pump at high water temperatures (approx. 65 °C).
v
After temperaturerelated cutout, disconnect the pump from the
mains via the main circuit breaker, let the water cool (approx.
10 – 15 min.) and secure the water supply on the intake side before
putting into operation again.
v
Before operating the pressure tank unit, first make a visual check to ensure
there is no damage to the pressure tank unit (especially regarding power cable
and plug).
A damaged pressure tank unit must not be used.
v
In case of damage, please have the pressure tank unit checked by our
GARDENA Service Centre or by an authorised electrician.
Protect the pump from rain. Do not use the pressure tank unit in a wet or moist
area.
In order to avoid dry-running of the pressure tank unit, take care that the end of
the suction hose is always submerged into the liquid.
The pressure tank unit must not be run dry nor with the stopcock in the suction
pipework closed.
v
Before each operation, fill the pressure tank unit to overflowing with approx.
2 to 3 l of the liquid to be pumped!
Sand and other abrasive substances in the liquid cause increased wear and
reduce the pump’s output.
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.
DANGER! This product makes an electromagnetic field while it operates. This
field may under some conditions interfere with active or passive medical implants.
To decrease the risk of conditions that can possibly injure or kill, we recommend

implant manufacturer before you operate the product.
DANGER! Small parts can be easily swallowed. There is also a risk that the poly-
bag can suffocate toddlers. Keep toddlers away when you assemble the product.
IMPORTANT!
Read the operator’s manual carefully before use and keep for future
reference.
Electrical safety

medium.
The pump must be installed in a location with low air humidity and suffi-
cient ventilation in the area of the ventilation slots. It must be at a distance
of at least 5 cm from the walls. No dirt contamination (e. g. sand or earth)
may be sucked in through the ventilation slots.
