2. Safety Instructions
Electrical Safety
The pump must be supplied with a rated residual
current of no more than 30 mA via a residual-
current device (RCD), and must not be operated
in accessible containers.
v
Please consult a specialised electrical dealer.
Mains power cables should not have a smaller
cross-section than a rubber-sheathed cable of
the designation H05 RNF.
The cable length must be min. 10 m.
Only use extension cables authorised in
accordance with HD 516.
Mains plug and extension connections must be
protected from water splashes.
Ensure that the electrical connections for
plugs and sockets are made in areas safe
from flooding.
Protect the mains plug and the mains
power cable from heat, oil and sharp
edges.
Observe the mains voltage. The information on
the nameplate must be in agreement with the
data for the mains power grid.
The pump’s mains plug must be disconnected
before anybody enters the swimming pool.
Do not interrupt the mains supply by unplugging
at the power extension cable. Disconnect at the
outlet socket.
The mains power cable must not be used for
fastening or transporting the pump.
Submersion and withdrawal of the pump should
be by means of the telescopic pipe.
Alternatively, a cord can be secured on
the telescopic pipe for submersing, lifting and
securing of the Rain Water Tank Pump.
Visual check
Please regularly check the connecting line. If the
connecting line of this appliance is damaged,
it has to be replaced by the manufacturer or the
manufacturer’s aftersales service or a similarly
qualified person to prevent any hazards.
Before using, always subject the pump
(especially the power cables and the power
connections) to a visual inspection.
A pump which is damaged should not be used.
In the event of damage, have the pump checked
by GARDENA Service.
Safety Instructions
Observe the minimum water level in accordance
with the characteristics given for the pump.
Only Art. No. 1740: Allow the pump to run
no longer than 10 minutes against a closed
pressure side.
Thermal overload protection switch
If overloaded, the built-in thermal protection for
the motor will switch the pump off. After cooling
down, the pump will start again automatically
(see 7. Trouble-Shooting).
Automatic ventilation
The Rain Water Tank Pump is fitted with a venting
outlet. The function of this venting outlet is to
force out any air which may be present inside
the pump. Small amounts of water flow out of
the gap between the threaded connection and the
hous ing; if the water level drops further down,
water also flows out the lower part of the housing.
This is no defect but occurs due to venting
purposes.
Warning! This machine produces an electro-
magnetical field during operation. This field may
under some circumstances interfere with active
or passive medical implants. To reduce the risk
of serious or fatal injury, we recommend persons
with medical implants to consult their physician
and the medical implant manu facturer before
operating this machine.
Danger! Small parts could be swallowed during
assembly and there is a risk of suffocation
from the polybag. Keep infants away during
assembly.
