General Information:
Risk of injury due to hot water !
If the pressure switch is defective and the pressure tank unit runs for an extended period (> 5 min) when the pressure side outlets are closed, the water in the pressure tank unit can become heated so that hot water can emerge from the outlet and cause injuries.
➔Pump may only run for max. 5 min with the discharge side closed.
If the water supply on the intake side of the pump fails, the water in the pump can heat up so that if water emerges, injuries could be caused by the hot water.
➔Disconnect pump from the mains, allow water to cool down and ensure the water supply is functioning correctly before starting the pump again.
➔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.
➔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
The pressure tank unit must not be run dry nor with the stopcock in the suction pipework clo- sed.
➔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.
➔If necessary contact your local water authority.
