2. Safety Instructions

Electrical safety

DANGER! Electric shock!

Risk of injury due to electric shock!

v Always unplug your Pressure Tank Unit

before filling, after operation, when trou­bleshooting and before carrying out any
maintenance work.

Caution: Pursuant to DIN VDE 0100-702, the
use of the pump is only permissible if the
pump is operated via a residual-current device
(FI switch).

The pump must be located on solid, even
ground, protected from flooding. Take care
that the pump cannot fall into water.

As an additional safety device an authorised
safety switch can be used.

v Please ask your electrician for his advice.
Data indicated on the type plate must match

the technical data of the mains supply.
Pursuant to DIN VDE 0620 the power cable

as well as any extension cable must not
have a smaller diameter than rubber sheathed
cables described with letter symbols
H05RN-F.

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

Do not use the power cable for carrying the
pump or for unplugging.

v If the supply cord is damaged, it must be

replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in order
to avoid a hazard.

In Austria

In Austria the electrical connection must
satisfy the ÖVE-EM 42, T2 (2000)/1979 § 22
to § 2022.1. This requires that pumps used
for swimming pools and garden ponds may
only be powered through an isolating trans­former.

v Please ask your electrician for his advice.

In Switzerland

In Switzerland portable devices that are used
outdoors must be connected through an earth
leakage circuit breaker. Mobile appliances that
are used outdoors must be connected via
aresidual-current device.

General Information

Risk of injury due to hot water!

If the pressure switch is defective or if the
water supply on the intake side of the pump
fails, any water remaining in the pump may
heat up, generating a risk of injuries caused
by hot water on leakage.

The pump is equipped with a temperature
fuse, which switches off the pump at high
water temperatures (approx. 65 °C).

v After temperature-related cut-out,

disconnect the pump from the mains
via the main circuit breaker, let the water
cool (approx. 10 – 15 min.) and secure the
water supply on the intake side before
putting into operation again.

v Before operating the pressure tank unit, first

make a visual check to ensure there is no
damage to the pressure tank unit (especially
regarding power cable and plug).

A damaged pressure tank unit must not be
used.

v In case of damage, please have the

pressure tank unit checked by our
GARDENA Service Centre or by an
authorised electrician.

Protect the pump from rain. Do not use
the pressure tank unit in a wet or moist
area.

In order to avoid dry-running of the pressure
tank unit, take care that the end of the suction
hose is always submerged into the liquid.

The pressure tank unit must not be run dry
nor with the stopcock in the suction pipework
closed.

v Before each operation, fill the pressure tank

unit to overflowing with approx. 2 to 3 l of the
liquid to be pumped!

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

When using the pump for domestic water
supply, please adhere to the local water and
sewerage regulations. In addition observe
the regulations of DIN 1988.

v

If necessary contact your local water
authority.

3. Initial Operation

Installing the
Pressure Tank Unit:

The installation position must be firm and dry, and permit a secure
mounting for the pressure tank unit.

v Install the Pressure Tank Unit at a safe distance from the

pumping medium.

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 dirt contamination
(e. g. sand or earth) may be sucked in through the ventilation slots.

Fixed installation of the
Pressure Tank Unit:

v The Pressure Tank Unit can be screwed with all 4 feet 2 onto

asolid surface

1

.

Alternatively, spring mounted feet (Art. 1753-00.901.00) for low
vibration and quiet running are available as accessories via the
GARDENA Service.

Install the pressure tank unit so that there is room to place
a suitably sized drainage tray under the drain screw

3

to allow

the unit or system to be drained.
If possible, install the unit higher than the surface of the water to

be pumped. If this is not possible, install a vacuum-resistant valve
between the unit and the suction hose, for example for cleaning
the integrated filter.

If the pump is permanently installed indoors for domestic water
supply, the Pressure Tank Unit should not be connected to the
domestic water pipework with rigid pipes but with flexible tubing,
to reduce noise and to avoid damage to the pump caused by
pressure blows.

If the system is being installed permanently, please fit suitable
valves on both the intake and delivery sides. This is important
e. g. for maintenance and cleaning work or if the system is being
shut down.

The connection pieces on the intake and delivery sides may
only be tightened by hand.

Warning! This unit makes an electromagnetic
field while it operates. This field may under
some con ditions interfere with active or pas­sive medical implants. To decrease the risk of
conditions that can possibly injure or kill, we
recommend persons with medical implants to
speak with their physician and the medical
implant manufacturer before operating.

Warning! Keep toddlers away when you
assemble the unit. Small parts can be easily
swallowed. There is also a risk that the poly­bag can suffocate toddlers.

6

A vacuum-tight suction hose must be used e. g.:
– GARDENA Suction Unit Art. no. 1411 / 1418 / 1412 or
– GARDENA Bore Hole Suction Hose Art. no. 1729.

Do not use any water hose snap connection system components
on the intake side!

v Connect the suction hose

5

with the intake side

connection 6 of the pump.

Connect the suction hoses

5

without a threaded connector via

a connection piece (e.g. Art. no. 1723/1724) 4 with the intake
side connection and screw in place so that they are airtight.

To reduce the pump repriming time, we recommend using
a suction hose with backflow preventer, which prevents the
suction hose emptying automatically when the Pressure Tank Unit
is switched off.

For suction heights exceeding 4 m also secure the suction hose

5

(e. g. by fastening it to a wooden post) to relieve the pump of the
weight of the suction hose.

If very fine dirt is present in the pumping medium, we
recommend the use of a GARDENA Pump Preliminary Filter
Art. no. 1730 / 1731.

Connect hose to the
output side:

Note:

Use pressure-tight GARDENA hoses, 19 mm (3/4") in diameter,
in connection with the GARDENA Quick-Release Threaded
Connector with 33.3 mm (G1) internal thread, Art. no. 7109,
and the GARDENA Suction and High Pressure Connector,
Art. no. 7120, for 19 mm (3/4") hoses and a GARDENA Hose
Clip, Art. no. 7192.

Under no circumstances use these hoses on the suction
side.

v Connect delivery hose 7 to the delivery side connection 8.
v Tip: If permanent pipes are installed, they must be laid at an

ascending angle in order to allow the water to flow back into
the pump on the pressure side.

The integrated non-return valve will open.

3. Open the air bleed

w

.

4. Open any valves in the delivery line (watering accessories, water
stop, etc.) and drain off any residual water in the delivery hose
so that the air can escape during filling and priming.

5. Slowly pour pumping medium (approx. 2 to 3 l) through the filler
neck

e

until water emerges from the air bleed w.

6. Screw the filter chamber cover

0

closed again, turning by hand

until it stops.

7. Close venting

w

and turn rotary switch q to RUN.

8. Insert the mains plug into a 230 V mains socket.
CAUTION! The pump will start immediately!

Once the maximum pressure is reached the pump will switch
off automatically. When the pressure falls below the minimum
value due to water being drawn off, the pump will switch on again
automatically.

The maximum self-priming head of 8 m is only achieved if the
pump is filled until it overflows from the filler connection

e

and
the delivery hose is held high enough during self-priming so that
no water can escape from the pump via the delivery hose. It is
not necessary to hold up the delivery hose if filled suction hoses
with backflow preventer are used.

ECO switch:

EC

O MAX

r

In order to save energy (up to 15 %), the cut-out pressure on the
pump can, depending on the individual application, be regulated
between ECO and MAX (the pressure difference between ECO
and MAX totals approx. 1 bar).

v Turn the ECO rotary switch

r

to the required position.

Note on the use of sprinklers: Depending on the flow rate of the sprinkler, an uneven watering

pattern may occur through the pump being switched on and off
automatically.
