Battery Safety
Danger of fire !
➔ Never charge the battery near to acids and easily inflammable materials.
Danger of Explosion !
➔ Never throw a worn out battery on to an open fire.
The battery is not watertight, but can remain suspended on the rainwater butt in rain.
The battery connection line may not be used for attaching or transporting the pump. The pump can be submerged or raised via the telescopic pipe. Alternatively, a rope can be attached to the carrying handle to submerge, raise and secure the battery pump.
The battery may only be charged using the NL12 charger supplied as only the latter guarantees optimum technical harmonisation between the battery and the charger. Using other chargers may result in injury to persons/ damage to property. The use of other chargers will result in loss of all claims for liability and warranty claims against the manufacturer.
Never charge the Accu after having been heated up by operation or sun.
➔Let it cool down first.
Never expose the Accu to direct sunlight while charging.
➔Always detach the battery from the pump to charge it.
Fully discharging the battery can destroy it.
➔Charge low battery immediately.
Only use the battery for the battery pump.
Under extreme conditions some accu acid could escape. This, however, does not repre- sent a defect. Proceed as follows should the casing leak:
1.Immediately wash the affected area of the skin with soap and water.
2.Neutralize the accu acid with vinegar or lemon juice.
3.If accu acid should get into your eyes, rinse your eyes for at least 10 minutes with fresh water. Then contact your doctor immediately!
Inspection
Always inspect the battery pump (especially the connection line) before using it.
A damaged pump may not be used. If dama- ged, it is essential to have the pump checked by GARDENA Service.
Safety Instructions
Dry-running destroys the pump!
➔ Switch the pump off immedia- tely the conveyed fluid runs out (turn knob to "0“).
➔Comply with the minimum depth of water stipulated in the specification for the pump.
Do not allow the pump to run with the output side closed.
Electronic Circuit-Breaker
If overloaded, the pump is switched off by the electronic protective switch in the Accu. The motor starts again automatically when it has cooled down (see 6.
Automatic Venting
The pump is fitted with a vent valve.
The purpose of this vent valve is to remove any cushion of air present in the pump.
3. Initial Operation
We recommend using a GARDENA hose connection:
Art. (2)915/2025 for 13 mm (1/2”), Art. (2)916/2026 for 16 mm (5/8”) and Art. 2817 for 19 mm (3/4”) for connecting a garden hose.
The 1/2” hose should not be more than 20 m long.
A relatively higher water pressure (greater spraying power) is to be expected from the watering equipment when 19 mm
(3/4”) hose connections are used because the friction losses in the hose are lower.
