1. Suitable Uses for Your GARDENA Pressure Tank Unit
Correct use:
GARDENA Pressure Tank Units have been designed for private use
around the house and garden. Pressure Tank Units are predominantly used for operating watering implements and systems in
private gardens.
When using the pump for pressure intensification, the maximum
permissible internal pressure of 6 bar (on the delivery side) must
not be exceeded. The increased delivery pressure and the pump
pressure have to be added together.
• Example: pressure at the tap = 1.5 bar, maximum pressure of
the Pressure Tank Unit 4000/4 LCD = 4.4 bar, total pressure =
5.9 bar.
Liquids that can be pumped: The GARDENA Pressure Tank Unit can be used for pumping rain-
water, tap water and chlorinated swimming pool water.
Please note:
The GARDENA Pressure Tank Unit is not suitable for continuous
operation (e.g. industrial applications, continuous circulating
operation). Corrosive, easily combustible, aggressive or
explosive liquids (such as gasoline, petroleum or nitrothinner),
saltwater and food must not be pumped. The temperature of
the liquid must not exceed 35 °C.
Empty your Pressure Tank Unit before the first frost of the
season (see 6. Putting into Storage).

Warning ! Electric shock!
Risk of injury due to electric shock.
➔ Always unplug your Garden Pump before
filling, after operation, when troubleshooting and before carrying out any
maintenance work.
Location
Caution: Pursuant to DIN VDE 0100-702 and
0100-738 use of the pump near to swimming
pools and garden ponds and other similar places is only permissible if the pump is operated
via a residual-current device (FI switch) with a
residual current rating of 울 30 mA. The pump
must not be operated when there are persons
in the swimming pool or garden pond.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.
➔ Please ask your electrician for advice.
Extension cables
Data indicated on the type plate must match
technical data of the mains supply.
Pursuant to DIN VDE 0620, power cable as
well as extension cables must not have a
smaller diameter than rubber sheathed cables
described with letter symbols H07 RNF.
Protect the power cable from heat, oil and
sharp edges.
➔ Do not use the power cable for carrying the
pump or for unplugging.
For your safety
Pollution of the liquid could occur due to
leakage of lubricants. The appliance is not
intended for use by young children or infirm
persons without supervision. Young children
should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.

2. Safety Instructions
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or its service
agent or a similary qualified person in
order to avoid a hazard.
Visual check
➔ Before operating the pump, first make a
visual check, if there is any damage to the
pump (especially regarding power cable
and plug).
A damaged pump must not be used.
➔ In case of damage, please have the pump
checked by our GARDENA Service Centre
or by an authorised electrician.
Safety in operation
➔ Protect the pump from rain. Do not use the
pump in a wet or moist area.
In order to avoid dry-running of the pump, take
care that the end of the suction hose is always
submerged into the water.
➔ Before each operation, fill the pump to
overflowing with approx. 2 to 3 l of water to
be pumped!
When in manual mode for troubleshooting, the
pump may not be operated for longer than
10 min. with the output side closed (1 cycle).
The pump must not perform more than 4
suction cycles (duration 4 minutes respectively)
one after the other.
➔ Allow pump to cool down after this.
Sand and other abrasive substances in the
water cause increased wear and reduce the
pump’s output.
➔ Use a preliminary filter on the pump if the
water is sandy.
The minimum flow rate is 140 l/h (= 2.3 l/min).
Watering accessories with lower rate must not
be operated.
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.
➔
If necessary, contact your local water authority.
3. Function and Display
The automatic pressure tank unit is electronically controlled. The
electronic control is activated by pulses from the manometric
switch and from the throughput detector of the dry-running preventer.
The manometric switch is set to a switch-on pressure of approx
2.0 bar (= 20 m head) at the factory.

The dry-running preventer protects the pump from damage by
turning the pump off if necessary.

4. Using the Equipment for the First Time
Position of equipment: The point at which the unit is erected must be sound, dry and well
ventilated and must permit the automatic Pressure Tank Unit to be
set up in a stable position.
➔ Locate the pump at safe distance from the water.
Install automatic domestic The mounting plate prevents the pump slipping.
water system permanently:
1. Screw mounting plate on to an appropriate base.
2. Place pump on the base with both feet .
Set up the pump such that a suitably large container can be
positioned below the drain screw for emptying the pump or unit.
If possible, install the pump higher than the surface of the water to
be pumped. If this is not possible, install a vacuum-resistant shutoff device between the pump and the suction hose, for example
for cleaning the integrated filter.
If you install your Pressure Tank Unit permanently indoors to
supply water for domestic use, connect your Pressure Tank Unit
to the pipe network using flexible hoses rather than rigid pipes.
This will help reduce noise and prevent damage to the manometric switch due to vibration.
If the system is being installed permanently, please fit suitable
shut-off devices 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 must
only be tightened by hand.
Connect the hose to the Do not use any water hose snap connection system components
suction side: on the intake side. A vacuum-tight suction hose must be used e.g.
• GARDENA Suction Hose art. G1411
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
• If the suction heights are high, use a suction hose with a small
diameter.
1. Connect vacuum-tight suction hose via a connection piece
to the connection on the intake side
and screw in place so that it is airtight.
2. For suction heights exceeding 4 m also secure the suction
hose (e.g. by fastening it to a wooden post).
This relieves the pump of the weight of the suction hose.
If very fine dirt is present, we recommend the use of a GARDENA
pump preliminary filter art. G1731 in addition to the inte-
grated filter.
