Location
Caution: Pursuant to DIN VDE 0100-702 and
0100-738 use of the pump nearby swimming
pools and garden ponds and other similar
places is only permissible if the pump is oper-
ated via a residual-current device (FI switch)
with a residual current rating of
≤
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.
The pump must not be operated when there
are persons in the swimming pool or garden
pond.
A Pump Preliminary Filter, Art. 1730 / 1731,
should be used to prevent foreign bodies
damaging the turbine.
Extension cables
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.
v
Don’t use the power cable for carrying the
pump or for plugging off.
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 exclusively
via an isolating transformer.
v
Please ask your electrician.
In Switzerland
In Switzerland mobile appliances which are
used outdoors, must be connected via a
residual-current device.
Environment
v
Protect the pump from rain. Don’t use the
pump in wet or moist area.
Visual check
v
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.
v
In case of damage, please have the pump
checked by our GARDENA Service Centre
or by an authorised electrician.
Check line voltage
Date indicated on the type plate must match
technical data of the mains supply.
Dry-Running
In order to avoid dry-running of the pump, take
care that the end of the suction hose is always
submerged into the liquid.
v
Before each operation, fill the pump to
overflowing with approx. 2 to 3 l of the
liquid to be pumped!
Liquid fails to flow
Sand and other abrasive substances in the
liquid cause in-creased wear and reduce the
pump’s output.
v
Use a pump preliminary filter for pumping
sandy liquids.
Pumping dirty water, e.g. stones, pine needles
etc., can cause damage to the pump.
v
Do not pump dirty water.
Hot water – risk of scalding
If the pump is operated for prolonged periods
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.
v
The pump should not run against the
closed delivery side for more than
5 minutes.
v
If liquid fails to flow, switch off the pump
immediately.
Minimum flow rate
The minimum flow rate is 80 l / h (= 1.3 l / min).
Watering accessories with lower rate must not
be operated.
