2. Product Use

GARDENA Pressure Tank Units have been designed for private use around house and garden. Pressure Tank Units are pre- dominantly used for operating watering implements and systems in private gardens.

Besides, the GARDENA Pres- sure Tank Units can be used for

domestic water supply, e.g. when taking rainwater for domestic use.

GARDENA Pressure Tank AUnits are not designed for continuous operation (e.g. in- dustrial application, continuous circulating operation).

Corrosive, easily combustible, aggressive or explosive sub- stances (e.g. petrol, petroleum, nitro thinner) as well as food must not be pumped.

The temperature of the liquid to be pumped should not exceed 35 °C.

outer thread at the inlet side 6.

To mount the Electronic Mano-

metric Switch proceed as follows:

1. Hold the top of the Electronic

Manometric Switch with one

hand and with the other, screw

the lower rotating part into the

inner thread of the pump.

Screw up to the limit.

Note: When the limit has been

reached, the non-return valve

(13a) can be turned in the

counter-clockwise direction

after filling the pump (do

not use a wrench).

b) To fill the pump through the

outlet nozzle on the delivery

side G of the Electronic

Manometric Switch:

1. Set the rotary switch/non-

return valve to position 2

(non-return valve open).

2. Open the screw plug

of the filler cap 4 (for

bleeding).

3. Fill the pump with liquid

be pumped stays in the suction hose, when the pump cuts out. Thus easy priming is made possible when starting the pump again. For suction heights exceeding 4 m, we recommend to fix additionally the suction hose, e.g. by fas- tening it to a wooden peg, thus the pump is relieved of load.

2. Before connection, equip the

union nut of the suction hose

with the supplied dirt filter (ill.

– a maximum of one turn

however – into any position

which is the most convenient

for you. The display can also be

turned into any desired position

before the connection on the

pressure side 3 / G is tight-

ened up.

2.Plug the mains plug for the

pump F into the connector socket E at the back of the display for the Electronic Manometric Switch (ill. E).

5.2Location and Filling of the Pump before Operation 1. Locate the pump at safe

distance of the liquid. Take care that the site is firm and solid, in order to ensure safe location of the pump.

2. Before operation, fill the pump either a) through the filler cap, or b) through the outlet nozzle of the Elec- tronic Manometric Switch with at least 2 I of the liquid to be pumped:

through the outlet on the

delivery side G of the

Electronic Manometric

Switch until liquid exits

the pump on the suction

side 2.

4. Tightly close the screw

plug again.

As well as the pump itself, the suction hose with back- flow preventer shall be filled in order to ensure trouble- free drawing (refer to the section “Suction hose con- nection”).

5.3 Suction hose connection

Suction Side 2

1.Screw one of the two supplied

pump fittings 3 onto the suction side 2 of the pump and tighten it by hand until the washer fits closely. Note: For the suction side use a vacuum-resistant suction hose with back-flow pre- venter (e.g. GARDENA Suc

D). First of all remove the flat

packing which may be in the

union nut.

Note: Alternatively, you can

also use the GARDENA Pump

Preliminary Filter, art. no. 1730/

1731. It is especially recom-

mended for use with highly

contaminated or with a very

sandy liquid. Filtration of water

is essential to prevent the Elec-

tronic Manometric Switch from

internal contamination, thus

avoiding malfunction of the unit.

3. In case of permanent, indoor

installation of the pump for

domestic water supply, in order

to reduce noise and to avoid

damages at the Manometric

Switch caused by vibration,

it is recommended to connect

the Pressure Tank Unit via

flexible suction lines, e.g. in

conjunction with the GARDENA

Bore Hole Suction Hose,

art.no. 1729, to the pipe net-

work but not firmly via rigid

pipes.
