Ensure that the electrical connections for plugs and sockets are made in areas safe from flooding.

Protect the mains plug and the mains power cable from heat, oil and sharp

Before using, always subject the pump (especially the power cables and the power connections) to a visual inspection.

A pump which is damaged should not be used. In the event of damage, have the pump checked

Pumping water from containers:

The length of the telescopic pipe 3 should be adjusted in such a manner that the pump does not touch the bottom of the container; this way, dirt in the container is kept away from the pump.

edges.

Observe the mains voltage. The information on the nameplate must be in agreement with the data for the mains power grid.

The pump’s mains plug must be disconnected before anybody enters the swimming pool.

Do not interrupt the mains supply by unplugging at the power extension cable. Disconnect at the outlet socket.

The mains power cable must not be used for fastening or transporting the pump. Submersion and withdrawal of the pump should be by means of the telescopic pipe. Alternatively, a cord can be secured on

the telescopic pipe for submersing, lifting and securing of the Rain Water Tank Pump.

Visual check

Please regularly check the connecting line. If the connecting line of this appliance is damaged,

by GARDENA Service.

Safety Instructions

Observe the minimum water level in accordance with the characteristics given for the pump.

Only Art. No. 1740: Allow the pump to run no longer than one hour against a closed pressure side.

Thermal overload protection switch

If overloaded, the built-in thermal protection for the motor will switch the pump off. After cooling down, the pump will start again automatically (see 7. Trouble-Shooting).

Automatic ventilation

The Rain Water Tank Pump is fitted with a venting outlet. The function of this venting outlet is to force out any air which may be present inside the pump. Small amounts of water flow out of the gap bet- ween the threaded connection and the housing;

1.Pull telescopic pipe 3 from the side of the pump and screw onto the pump connector 4. Ensure that the washer lies in the mating thread ß3a of the telescopic pipe 3.

2.Loosen threaded collars 5 of the telescopic pipe 3.

3.Adjust telescopic pipe 3 to the height of the container.

The telescopic pipe can be adjusted between 73 – 91cm.

it has to be replaced by the manufacturer or the manufacturer’s aftersales service or a similarly qualified person to prevent any hazards.

if the water level drops further down, water also flows out the lower part of the housing. This is no defect but occurs due to venting purposes.

The shut-off valve 8 in an operating pump takes on the function of a water tap. With an open system (Micro-Drip- System, Sprinklers), the hose may not be placed deeper than the container as otherwise the water flows through the pump

3. Assembly
Install / deinstall foot:	When the pump is to be used for draining for a flat container,
	and is therefore placed on the ground, the foot can be
	assembled so that the pump suctions less dirt. On delivery,
	the foot is already assembled.

2	Install foot:
	v From below, place the foot 2 on the pump until the two
	locks 1 click into place.
	Deinstall foot:
	v Press the two locks 1 and pull the foot 2 from the pump.

4. Initial Operation

The telescopic pipe 3 is placed on the side of the pump in the transport position. The telescopic pipe is fitted with a GARDENA Regulator Valve. We recommend the use of a GARDENA Standard Hose Connector: Art. No. 2015/2915 for 13mm (1/2") and Art. No. 2016/2916 for 16mm (5/8") and 19mm (3/4") respectively, for connecting a garden hose. With the use of

19-mm-(3/4")-hose line, the pumping quantity is the greatest.

If the Rain Water Tank Pump is used in a shallow vessel, e. g. to empty an inflatable children’s pool, the telescopic pipe can be removed and replaced by the GARDENA Threaded Tap Connector 26.5mm (G 3/4) – Art. No. 2901/2801. The hose connection 13mm (1/2”), 16mm (5/8") or 19mm (3/4") is made using the Original GARDENA System or GARDENA Profi “Maxi-Flow” System threaded hose connectors.

For deeper containers (up to max. 7m), the pump can no longer be hung on the telescopic pipe. The pump must then be attached through a cord connected to the telescopic pipe and submersed into the container.
