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
H05 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.

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.

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 Submersible
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.

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. If the water level drops below the vent valve, some
water flows penetrates outside through the vent valve

.
This is not a defect of your pump, but serves to deaerate the
pump.

in the previous table.

1. Cut off nipples of the universal fitting 7, which are not needed,
to match the hose connection.

2. Screw the universal fitting

onto the pump.

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.

Only for 13 mm (1/2 ” ) hose :
The universal fitting 7can also be equipped with a GARDENA
Regulator Valve Art. No. 977 so that the contents of the out-

let line do not flow back through the pump after pumping.
The Regulator Valve can be ordered from GARDENA Service.

4. Operation

To ensure that the pump draws the water out, the water to be
drained must be at least 45 mm deep.

The float switch 5turns the pump on automatically when the
water level exceeds the cut-in height and the water is pumped out.

The float switch 5turns the pump off again as soon as the water
level falls below the cut-out height.

1. Stand the pump on a firm surface – or –
use a rope attached to the carrying handle

2

to immerse the

pump in a well or shaft.

During automatic operation, ensure that the float switch

5

can move freely.

2. Plug the power cable 1into a mains socket.

Adjusting the Cut-in and Cut-out Height:

The maximum cut-in height and minimum cut-out height (see

8. Technical Data) can be adjusted.

v Push the cable of the float switch 5into the float switch lock 3.

Do not select a cable length that is too long or short to ensure
that the float switch can turn on and off properly.

• The shorter the length of cable between the float switch

5

and the float switch lock 3, the lower the cut-in height and the
higher the cut-out height.

The pump remains in constant operation because the float switch
is bypassed.

1. Stand the pump on a firm surface – or –
use a rope attached to the carrying handle

2

to immerse the

pump in a well or shaft.

2. Plug the power cable 1into a mains socket.

3. Fix float switch 5vertically above the pump (with the cable
at the bottom).

As long as the float switch is positioned vertically above the
pump, the pump will operate regardless of the water level.

The residual water height of approx. 5 mm is only reached
during manual operation since the float switch turns off the
pump during automatic operation before this water level is
reached.
