Welcome to the Garden of GARDENA ...

This is the translation of the original German User’s Manual. Please read the User’s Manual carefully and comply with them. Use this User’s Manual to familiarise yourself with the pump, its proper use and the safety instructions.

For safety reasons, children under 16 as well as persons not familiar with this User’s Manual must not use this pump. Persons with reduced physical or mental abilities may use the product only if they are supervised or instructed by

a responsible person.

The pump must not be operated when there are people in the water.

Swimming pools and garden ponds should be designed according to international and national design regulations.

vPlease consult a professional electrician.

Before operating the pump, look to see if there is any damage to the pump (esp. regarding power cable and plug).

The connection cable of the pump cannot be replaced. If the cable is damaged the pump must be scrapped.

Do not use the power cable to carry the pump or to pull the plug out of the socket.

Protect the power cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.

User instructions:

Never let the pump run dry; running dry generates heat and will damage the pump.

The temperature of the liquid used must not be below 4 °C or above 35 °C.

Sand and other abrasive substances in the liquid cause increased wear and reduce the output of the pump.

Please observe the local noise prevention regulations.
