Setting up your Garden Pump: The site must be firm and solid in order to ensure safe and sturdy operating conditions for the pump.

v Position the pump at a safe distance (min. 2 m) from the liquid

	to be pumped.
	The pump must be installed in a location with low air humidity
	and sufficient ventilation in the area of the ventilation slots.
	It must be at a distance of at least 5 cm from the walls.
	No dirtcontamination (e.g. sand or earth) may be sucked in
	through theventilation slots.
Connecting hose to	Don’t use any hose connection system fittings on the
suction side:	suction side! A vacuum-resistant suction hose must be used,
	e. g. GARDENA Suction Unit, art. no. 1411.
2	In order to reduce the suction time, it is advisable to use a suction
	hose with backflow preventer avoiding automatic draining of the
	suction hose when the pump is stopped.
1	1. Screw a vacuum-resistant suction hose 1 airtight onto the
	connector on the suction side of the pump 2.
	2. For suction heights exceeding 4 m also secure the suction
	hose 1 (e.g. by fastening it to a wooden post).
	This relieves the pump of the weight of the suction hose.

DANGER! Electric shock!

Risk of injury due to electric shock.

v Disconnect from the mains before filling the

Garden Pump.

ATTENTION!

v Before each operation, slowly fill the pump with liquid to be pumped until it overflows (approx. 2 to 3 l).

1.	Open the cap 6 on the filler neck 7 by hand.
2.	Fill the pump via the filler cap 7 to overflowing with
	approx. 2 to 3 l of the liquid to be pumped.
3.	Tighten the cap 6 of the filler cap 7 by hand (do not use pliers).
4.	Open any shut-off valves in the delivery line (accessories,
	water stop, etc.).
5.	Drain remaining water in pressure hose 5 so that air can
	escape during the suction process.
6.	Switching on pump 4000/5: Lift and hold the delivery hose 5
	at least 1 m vertically above the pump, press the On/Off
	switch 8 (On/Off switch shines) and wait until the pump has
	primed.
v If the pump does not deliver after approx. 5 minutes,
	switch off the pump (press On/Off switch 8)

The pumps have 2 connections 3/ß3a on the delivery side.

The pump connection not in use has to be closed by the cap 4, which can be unscrewed for connecting 2 hoses.

The pump connections 3/ß3a are equipped with a 33.3 mm (G 1") thread which can be used to connect 13 mm (1/2"), 16 mm (5/8") or 19 mm (3/4") hoses via the GARDENA hose connection system.

Optimised use of the pump capacity is achieved by connecting 19 mm (3/4") hoses with e.g. GARDENA Pump Connection Set Art. 1752, or by connecting 25 mm (1") hoses with GARDENA

Quick Thread Coupling with female thread Art. 7109 / Quick Coupling Hose Connector Art. 7103.

v Connect the pressure hose 5 to the connector on the delivery side 3/ß3a .

If more than 2 hoses / accessories are connected simultaneously, we recommend using the GARDENA 2- or 4-Channel Water

Distributor Art. 8193/8194, GARDENA Twin-Tap Connector Art. 940 which can be screwed directly onto the connection on the delivery side 3/ß3a .

6. Switching on pump 5000/5; 6000/6 inox:	LED
Lift and hold the delivery hose 5 at least
1 m vertically above the pump, insert the
power plug, press the On/Off button ß
8a
(the LED shines green) and wait until the
pump has primed.

If the pump does not deliver within approx. 20 seconds, the LED flashes orange.

If the pump does not deliver: 5000/5 within approx. 5 minutes / 6000/6 inox within approx. 6 minutes, the LED shines red and the pump switches off automatically (see “7. Trouble- Shooting”).

v If the pump does not automatically switch off then manually switch the pump off and check the hose for leaks.

The specified maximum self-priming suction height of 8 m is reached only if the pump is filled via the filler neck 7 up to the overflow and if, while doing so and during the self-priming, the delivery hose 5 is held up sufficiently high to prevent any flow medium escaping from the pump via the delivery hose 5.
