Avoid running of the pump for more than 10 min. against closed delivery side of the pump.

Sand and other abrasive substances cause increased wear and reduce the pump’s output.

Take care that the pump is located where the inlet openings at the suction base are obstructed neither completely nor partly.

Stand the pump on a brick if using in a pond.

Thermal motor protector The pump is automatically switched off on overheating by the built-in thermal motor protector. After having cooled down, the motor automatically switches on again (see 6. Trouble Shooting).

The universal fitting 7 allows you to connect all the hoses listed in the previous table.

1.Cut off nipples of the universal fitting 7, which are not needed, to match the hose connection.

2.Screw the universal fitting 7 onto the pump.

3.Connect the hose to the universal fitting 7.

We recommend that you secure 38 mm (1 1/2 ”) and 25 mm (1”) hoses additionally with a GARDENA Hose Clip Art. No. 1591.

Only for 13 mm (1/2”) hose:

The universal fitting 7 can also be equipped with a GARDENA Regulator Valve Art. No. 977 so that the contents of the out- let line do not flow back through the pump after pumping.

The Regulator Valve can be ordered from GARDENA Service.

This is not a defect of your pump, but serves to deaerate the

pump.

To ensure that the pump draws the water out, the water to be drained must be at least 45 mm deep.

The float switch 5 turns the pump on automatically when the water level exceeds the cut-in height and the water is pumped out.

The float switch 5 turns the pump off again as soon as the water level falls below the cut-out height.

1.Stand the pump on a firm surface – or –

use a rope attached to the carrying handle 2 to immerse the pump in a well or shaft.

During automatic operation, ensure that the float switch 5 can move freely.

2.Plug the power cable 1 into a mains socket.

The following connection kits are required for 13 mm to 19 mm connections:

13 mm (1/2 ”): GARDENA Pump Connection Set, Art. No. 1750

15 mm (5/8 ”): GARDENA Tap Connector, Art. No. 902, and

Standard Hose Connector, Art. No. 916

Best results in delivery capacity are achieved when using 38 mm (1 1/2 ”) hoses.

•The shorter the length of cable between the float switch 5 and the float switch lock 3, the lower the cut-in height and the higher the cut-out height.

The pump remains in constant operation because the float switch is bypassed.

1.Stand the pump on a firm surface – or –

use a rope attached to the carrying handle 2 to immerse the pump in a well or shaft.

2.Plug the power cable 1 into a mains socket.

3.Fix float switch 5 vertically above the pump (with the cable at the bottom).

As long as the float switch is positioned vertically above the pump, the pump will operate regardless of the water level.

The residual water height of approx. 5 mm is only reached during manual operation since the float switch turns off the pump during automatic operation before this water level is reached.
