1. Applications Range of Your GARDENA Submersible Pump

GARDENA Submersible Pumps have been designed for private
use around your house and garden. They are predominantly desti­nated for drainage after flooding, transfer of liquids, draining con­tainers, taking water from wells and shafts, draining boats and
yachts as well as for water aeration and circulation for a limited
period of time.

Liquids which can be handled by the GARDENA Pump are the
following: clean and slightly contaminated water (max. particle size
5 mm), swimming pool water (prerequisite is the recommended
dosage of additives) and soapy water.

The pump is fully submersible (waterproof sealed) and can be
immersed in the liquid down to a depth of 9 m.

The GARDENA Submersible Pumps are not designed for
continuous operation (e.g. continuous circulating opera­tion) in a pond. Your pump’s life will be shortened corre­spondingly by such operation.
Corrosive, easily combustible or explosive substances
(e.g. gasoline, petroleum, nitro thinner), fats, oils, salt-water
and waste water of toilets and urinals must not be pumped.
The temperature of the liquid handled should not exceed
35 °C.

2. For Your Safety

According to DIN VDE (German Electrical Engineers’ Associa­tion) 0100, submersible pumps may only be used in swimming
pools, garden ponds, and fountains if the pump is operated via a
residual-current device 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.

For safety reasons we recommend that you always operate
the submersible pump via a residual-current device (DIN VDE
0100-702 and 0100-738).

v Please contact your electrician.

In Austria, according to ÖVE B/EN 60 555 part 1 to 3, pumps
which are used in swimming pools and garden ponds, and
equipped with firm power cable should be fed via an ÖVE
approved isolating transformer – rated voltage must not exceed
230 V.

In Switzerland mobile appliances which are used outdoors,
must be connected via a residual-current device.

According to DIN VDE (German Electrical Engineers’ Associa­tion) 0620, mains power cables must not have a smaller cross­section than the rubber-sheathed cables of the designation
H07 RNF. The cable length must be at least 10 m.

Data indicated on the type plate must match technical data of
the mains supply.

v Take care that the electrical connections are made within dry

area, protected from flooding.
Protect plug and power cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.
v Don’t use the power cable for plugging off.
The power cable or the float switch must not be used for mount-

ing or relocating the pump. For submerging or lifting/securing
the pump, fix a rope to the pump’s carrying handle.

Extension cables must meet the requirements of DIN VDE 0620.

v Before operating the pump, first make a visual check, if there

is any damage of the pump (esp. regarding power cable and

plug).
v Observe the minimum water level and the max. delivery

height (see 8. Technical Data).
A damaged pump must not be used.
v In case of damage, please have the pump checked by our

GARDENA Service Centre.

During manual operation, the pump must be switched off as
soon as all the liquid has been pumped away.

v Observe the pump at all times during manual operation.

In as-delivered condition, the rotating feet are set to draining
in the flat position (1 mm).

v Turn the rotating feet by 180° to 5 mm for normal operation.

The pump is raised by 5 mm.

Notes on use

GB

v Clear the outlet line before use.
Dry-running operation causes increased wear and is to be

avoided. Therefore, in manual operation the pump must be
immediately unplugged when water fails to flow.

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.

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 automatic deaerating valve eliminates any air pockets in
the pump. During this process, air escapes through the vent
bores

4

and air bubbles appear underwater. This is not a defect

of your pump, but serves to deaerate the pump.
It may take several seconds for the air to escape when the

pump is immersed for the first time.

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.

The residual water level of approx. 1 mm is only reached during
flat suction in the manual operation mode. If the water level is
lower than 25 mm, you can accelerate flat suction by switching
the pump off and on 2 to 3 times.

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

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