1. Area of application of your GARDENA Garden Pump
Purpose: | The GARDENA Garden Pump is designed for domestic use around |
| the house and garden. |
| When the pump is used for pressure boosting, the maximum |
| permissible internal pressure of 6 bar (on the delivery side) |
| must not be exceeded. The increased delivery pressure and the |
| pump pressure have to be added together. |
| • Example: Pressure at the tap = 1.5 bar, maximum pressure of |
| the Garden Pump 4000/5 = 4.5 bar bar, total pressure = 6.0 bar. |
Liquids that can be pumped: | The GARDENA Garden Pump can be used for pumping |
| ground water and rain water, tap water and swimming pool |
| water containing chlorine. |
Please note: | The GARDENA Garden Pump is not suitable for continuous |
| operation (e.g. industrial applications, continuous circulat- |
| ing operation). Corrosive, easily combustible, aggressive or |
| explosive liquids (such as gasoline, petroleum or nitro |
| thinner), saltwater and food must not be pumped. |
| The temperature of the liquid must not exceed 35 °C. |
DANGER! Electric shock!
Risk of injury due to electric shock.
v Always unplug your Garden Pump before fil- ling, after operation, when trouble-shooting and before carrying out any maintenance work.
RISK OF INJURY!
Hot water – risk of scalding!
For pump 4000/5 only: If the pump is operated for prolonged periods of time (> 5 min) with the delivery side closed, the water in the pump may heat up so that there is a risk of scalding yourself with hot water.
v The pump should not run against the closed delivery side for more than 5 minutes.
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.
v Disconnect the pump from the mains via the main circuit breaker, let the water cool and secure the suction-side water supply before putting into operation again.
Location
Caution: Pursuant to DIN VDE 0100-702 and
0100-738, AS/NZS 3000 use of the pump nearby swimming pools and garden ponds and other similar places is only permissible if the pump is operated via a residual-current device (FI switch) 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. The pump must be located on solid, even ground, protected from flooding. Take care that the pump cannot fall into water. Position the pump at a safe distance (min. 2 m) from the liquid to be pumped. As an additional safety device an authorised safety switch can be used.
v Please ask your electrician for his advice.
When connecting the pump to the water supply system, the country-specific sanitary regulations must be observed to prevent water not of drin- king water quality being drawn back in.
v Please consult a specialist for sanitary installations.
Extension cables
Date indicated on the type plate must match technical data of the mains supply.
Only use extension cables authorised in accordance with HD 516.
v Consult your qualified electrician.
v Don’t use the power cable for carrying the pump or for plugging off.
In Austria
In Austria, the electrical connections must be made according to ÖVE-EM 42, T2 (2000) / 1979 § 22 based on § 2022. Pursuant to this regulation it’s imperative to operate pumps for swimming pools and garden ponds exclusively via an isolating transformer.
v Please ask your electrician.
In Switzerland
In Switzerland mobile appliances which are
used outdoors, must be connected via a residual- current device.
Visual check
v Before operating the pump, first make a visual cheek, if there is any damage of the pump (esp. regarding power cable and plug).
A damaged pump must not be used.
v In case of damage, please have the pump checked by our GARDENA Service Centre or by an authorised electrician.
v A damaged connection cable may only be exchanged by GARDENA Service or an authorised electrician.
Note
v Protect the pump from rain. Don’t use the pump in wet or moist area.
In order to avoid dry-running of the pump, take care that the end of the suction hose is always submerged into the liquid.
v Before each operation, fill the pump to over- flowing with approx. 2 to 3 l of the liquid to be pumped!
Sand and other abrasive substances in the liquid cause in-creased wear and reduce the pump’s output.
Pumping dirty water, e.g. stones, pine needles etc., can cause damage to the pump.
v Do not pump dirty water.
The minimum flow rate is: 4000/5: 90 l/h
(= 1.5 l/min); 5000/5: 200 l/h (= 3.3 l/min). Watering accessories with lower rate must not be operated.
