1. Applications Range of Your GARDENA Submersible Pump

Residual-current device

In Austria

In Switzerland

Mains power

According to DIN VDE (German Electrical Engineers’ Associa- tion) 0100, submersible pumps may only be used in swimming pools, garden ponds, and fountains if the pump is operated via a residual-current device with a residual-current rating of ≤ 30 mA. The pump must not be operated

when there are persons in the swimming pool or garden pond.

For safety reasons we recommend that you always operate the submersible pump via a residual-current device (DIN VDE 0100-702 and 0100-738).

vPlease contact your electrician.

In Austria, according to ÖVE B/EN 60 555 part 1 to 3, pumps which are used in swimming pools and garden ponds, and equipped with firm power cable should be fed via an ÖVE approved isolating transformer – rated voltage must not exceed 230 V.

In Switzerland mobile appliances which are used outdoors, must be connected via a residual-current device.

According to DIN VDE (German Electrical Engineers’ Associa- tion) 0620, mains power cables must not have a smaller cross- section than the rubber-sheathed cables of the designation H05 RNF. The cable length must be at least 10 m.

Data indicated on the type plate must match technical data of the mains supply.

Intended use

Liquids to be pumped

Please note

GARDENA Submersible Pumps have been designed for private use around your house and garden. They are predominantly desti- nated for drainage after flooding, transfer of liquids, draining con- tainers, taking water from wells and shafts, draining boats and yachts as well as for water aeration and circulation for a limited period of time.

Liquids which can be handled by the GARDENA Submersible Pump are the following: clean and slightly contaminated water (max. particle size 5 mm), swimming pool water (prerequisite is the recommended dosage of additives) and soapy water.

The pump is fully submersible (waterproof sealed) and can be immersed in the liquid down to a depth of 9 m.

The GARDENA Submersible Pumps are not designed for continuous operation (e.g. continuous circulating opera- tion) in a pond. Your pump’s life will be shortened corre- spondingly by such operation.

Corrosive, easily combustible or explosive substances (e.g. gasoline, petroleum, nitro thinner), fats, oils, salt-water and waste water of toilets and urinals must not be pumped. The temperature of the liquid handled should not exceed 35 °C.

Visual check

Manual operation

Notes on use

vTake care that the electrical connections are made within dry area, protected from flooding.

Protect plug and power cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.

vDon’t use the power cable for plugging off.

The power cable or the float switch must not be used for mount- ing or relocating the pump. For submerging or lifting/securing the pump, fix a rope to the pump’s carrying handle.

Extension cables must meet the requirements of DIN VDE 0620.

vBefore operating the pump, first make a visual check, if there is any damage of the pump (esp. regarding power cable and plug).

vObserve the minimum water level and the max. delivery height (see 8. Technical Data).

A damaged pump must not be used.

vIn case of damage, please have the pump checked by our GARDENA Service Centre.

During manual operation, the pump must be switched off as soon as all the liquid has been pumped away.

vObserve the pump at all times during manual operation.

vClear the outlet line before use.

Dry-running operation causes increased wear and is to be avoided. Therefore, in manual operation the pump must be immediately unplugged when water fails to flow.
