v
Disconnect the product from the mains before you connect,
adjust or transport the product.
To pump water [ Fig. O1 / O2 ]:
CAUTION! Dry-Running of the pump!
v
Fill the pump with water up to the overflow (approx. 2 to 5 l)
before each start-up.
1. Unscrew the screw fitting
(6)
of the filler neck
(7)
by hand.
2. Fill the pump via the filler neck
(7)
to overflowing with
approx. 2 to 5 l of water.
3. Tighten the screw fitting
(6)
of the filler neck
(7)
by hand
(do not use pliers).
4. Open any shut-off valves in the delivery line (accessories,
water stop, etc.).
5. Drain remaining water in pressure hose
(5)
so that air can escape
during the suction process.
6. Connect the pump to the mains.
7. Lift and hold the delivery hose
(5)
at least 1 m vertically above the pump,
press the On / Off switch
(8)
and wait until the pump has primed.
v
If the pump does not deliver water after approx. 5 minutes,
switch off the pump (press On / Off switch
(8)
)
(see 6. TROUBLESHOOTING).
The specified maximum self-priming suction height of 7 m is reached
only if the pump is filled via the filler neck
(7)
up to the overflow and if, while
doing so and during the self-priming, the delivery hose
(5)
is held up suf-
ficiently high to prevent any water escaping from the pump via the delivery
hose
(5)
.
Rust formation: The pump Art. 9014 has a cast iron housing. After con-
tact with water, rust will form (this does not damage the pump and is not
covered by the warranty). Therefore rusting water may initially escape after
switching on the pump.
4. MAINTENANCE
DANGER! Risk of injury!
Injury when the product starts accidentally.
v
Disconnect the product from the mains before you maintain
the product.
To flush the pump:
After pumping chlorinated water, the pump must be flushed.
1. Pump lukewarm water (max. 35 °C), possibly adding a mild cleaning
agent (e. g. detergent) until the pumped water runs clear.
2. Remove residuals according to the waste disposal laws applicable in
your area.
5. STORAGE
To put into storage [ Fig. S1 ]:
The pump is not frost-proof!
The product must be stored away from children.
1. Disconnect the pump from the mains.
2. If applicable, close all the shut-off devices on the intake side.
3. Open all the tapping points.
The pressure side is depressurized.
4. Open the screw fitting
(6)
of the filler neck
(7)
and the water drain
screw
(9)
.
The Garden Pump drains.
5. Store the pump in a dry, enclosed and frost-free place.
Disposal:
(in accordance with RL2012/19/EC)
The product must not be disposed of to normal household
waste. It must be disposed of in line with local environmental
regulations.
IMPORTANT!
v
Dispose of the product through or via your municipal recycling collection
centre.
6. TROUBLESHOOTING
DANGER! Risk of injury!
Injury when the product starts accidentally.
v
Disconnect the product from the mains before you trouble-
shoot the product.
To loosen the impeller [ Fig. T1 ]:
An impeller blocked by dirt can be freed again.
v
Turn shaft of the impeller
(10)
with a screwdriver.
This will loosen the stuck impeller.
Problem
Possible Cause
Remedy
Pump is running, but the
suction action doesn’t take
place
Leaky or damaged suction
hose.
v
Check suction line for
damage and seal so is
airtight.
The pump was not filled with
water.
v
Fill the pump
(see 3. OPERATION).
The liquid escapes over the
hose which is connected to
the delivery side during the
suction action.
v
1. Fill the pump again
(see 3. OPERATION).
2. When starting operation
hold the pressure hose
approx. 1 m vertically
above the pump, until the
suction action has taken
place.
Absolutely vacuumresistant connection is achieved by using
GARDENA Suction Hoses (see 8. ACCESSORIES).
Leaky screw fitting at the filler
neck.
v
Check seal (replace if neces
sary) and tighten connection
securely (do not use pliers).
Air cannot escape, since
delivery side is closed or
remaining water is in the
pressure hose.
v
Open shutoff valves
(e g. nozzle) in the delivery
line, empty the delivery hose
or disconnect it from the
pump during priming.
The waiting time wasn’t
observed.
v
Switch on the pump and wait
up to 5 min.
Suction filter or backflow
preventer in the suction hose
clogged.
v
Clean the filter or the back
flow preventer.
Too high suction height.
v
Reduce suction height.
In case of any other difficulties concerning the suction action,
use GARDENA Suction Hoses with Backflow Preventer
(see 8. ACCESSORIES) and fill in the liquid to be pumped
over the filler neck before operation.
Pump does not start,
or stops suddenly during
operation
Thermal switch has turned
the pump off because of over
heating.
v
Observe the max. media
temperature (35 °C).
No power supply to the pump.
v
Check fuses and electrical
plug connections.
RCD has triggered
(residual current).
v
Disconnect the pump
and contact the GARDENA
Service.
Pump is not switched on.
v
Push the On / Off switch
to On.
Pump is running but the
delivery drops suddenly
Suction hose end is not
in water.
v
Submerge the end of the suc
tion hose deeper in the water.
Suction filter or backflow
preventer clogged.
v
Clean the suction filter or
backflow preventer.
Leaks at suction side.
v
Eliminate leak.
Impeller blocked.
v
Release impeller.
Noise development in the
hydraulic area
In the case of strong flows (e.g. open hose end, without connec
ting device), noise may result in the hydraulic part of the pump.
This is harmless and does not lead to damage of the pump.
The noise can be removed by lightly changing the flow (e. g. light
opening / closing of a connecting device).
NOTE: For any other malfunctions please contact the GARDENA service
department. Repairs must only be done by GARDENA service departments
or specialist dealers approved by GARDENA.
