Original instructions.

This product may be used under
supervision, or if instruction

regarding the safe use of the
product has been provided and the result­ing dangers have been understood, by
children aged 8 and above, as well as by
persons with physical, sensory or mental
disabilities or a lack of experience and
knowledge. Children must not be allowed
to play with the product. Cleaning and
user maintenance must not be performed
by children without supervision. The use
of this product by young people under

the age of 16 is not recommended. Never
operate the product when you are tired,
ill or under the influence of alcohol, drugs
or medicine.

Intended use:

The GARDENA Garden Pump is designed for domestic
use around the house and garden.

When the pump is used for pressure boosting, 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 Garden Pump 4000/5 = 4.5 bar,
total pressure = 6.0 bar.

Liquids that can be pumped:

The GARDENA Garden Pump can be used for pumping
ground water and rain water, tap water and water contain­ing chlorine.

IMPORTANT! The GARDENA Garden Pump is not
suitable for continuous operation (e. g. industrial
applications, continuous circulat ingoperation).
Corrosive, easily combustible, aggressive or explo­sive liquids (such as gasoline, petroleum or nitro
thinner), saltwater and food must not be pumped.
The temperature of the liquid must not exceed 35 °C.

1. SAFETY

IMPORTANT!
Read the operator’s manual carefully before use
and keep for future reference.

Electrical safety

DANGER! Electric shock!
Risk of injury due to electric shock.

v Always unplug your Garden Pump before filling, after

operation, when trouble-shooting and before carrying
out any maintenance work.

RISK OF INJURY!
Hot water – risk of scalding!

For pump 4000/5 only: If the pump is operated for
prolonged periods of time (> 5 min.) with the delivery
side closed, the water in the pump may heat up so
that there is a risk of scalding yourself with hot water.

v The pump should not run against the closed

delivery side for more than 5 minutes.

If the water supply on the intake side of the pump
fails, the water in the pump can heat up so that if

water emerges, injuries could be caused by the hot
water.

v Disconnect the pump from the mains via the main

circuit breaker, let the water cool and secure the
suction-side water supply before putting into
operation again.

Location

The product must be supplied through a residual current
device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current
not exceeding 30 mA. The pump must not be used when
people are in water. The pump must be located on solid,
even ground, protected from flooding. Take care that the
pump cannot fall into water. Position the pump at a safe
distance (min. 2 m) from the liquid to be pumped. As an
additional safety device an authorised safety switch can
be used.

v Please ask your electrician for his advice.
When connecting the pump to the water supply system,

the country-specific sanitary regulations must be
observed to prevent water not of drink ing water quality
being drawn back in.

v Please consult a specialist for sanitary installations.

Extension cables

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

Only use extension cables authorised in accordance with
HD 516.

v Consult your qualified electrician.
v Don’t use the power cable for carrying the pump or for

plugging off.

In Austria

In Austria, the electrical connections must be made
according to ÖVE-EM 42, T2 (2000) / 1979 §22 based
on § 2022. Pursuant to this regulation it’s imperative to
operate pumps for swimming pools and garden ponds
exclusively via an isolating transformer.

v Please ask your electrician.

In Switzerland

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

Visual check

v Before operating the pump, first make a visual cheek,

if there is any damage of the pump (esp. regarding

power cable and plug).
A damaged pump must not be used.
v In case of damage, please have the pump checked

by our GARDENA Service Centre or by an authorised
electrician.

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.

Note

v Protect the pump from rain. Don’t use the pump in 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
liquid.

v Before each operation, fill the pump to overflowing with

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

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

Pumping dirty water, e.g. stones, pine needles etc., can
cause damage to the pump.

v Do not pump dirty water.
The minimum flow rate is:

4000/5: 90 l/h (= 1.5 l/min);
5000/5: 200 l/h (= 3.3 l/min).
Watering accessories with lower rate must not be
operated.

DANGER! This product makes an electromagnetic field
while it operates. This field may under some conditions
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 you operate the product.

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

2. INITIAL OPERATION

Setting up your Garden Pump:

The site must be firm and solid in order to ensure safe and
sturdy operating conditions for the pump.

v Position the pump at a safe distance (min. 2 m) from the

liquid to be pumped.

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 dirtcontamination (e.g. sand or earth)
may be sucked in through theventilation slots.

Connecting hose to suction side [ Fig. I1 ]:

Don’t use any hose connection system fittings on the
suction side! A vacuum-resistant suction hose must be
used, e. g. GARDENA Suction Unit, Art. 1411.

In order to reduce the suction time, it is advisable to use
a suction hose with backflow preventer avoiding automatic
draining of the suction hose when the pump is stopped.

1. Screw a vacuum-resistant suction hose

1

airtight onto

the connector on the suction side of the pump

2

.

2. For suction heights exceeding 4 m also secure the
suction hose

1

(e.g. by fastening it to a wooden post).

This relieves the pump of the weight of the suction
hose.

Connecting hose to delivery side [ Fig. I2 ]:

The pumps have 2 connections

3/ß

3a

on the delivery side.
The pump connection not in use has to be closed by the
cap

4

, which can be unscrewed for connecting 2 hoses.

The pump connections

3/ß

3a

are equipped with a 33.3 mm
(G 1") thread which can be used to connect 13 mm (1/2"),
16 mm (5/8") or 19 mm (3/4") hoses via the GARDENA
hose connection system.

Optimised use of the pump capacity is achieved by con­necting 19mm (3/4") hoses with e.g. GARDENA Pump
Connection Set Art.1752, or by connecting 25 mm (1")
hoses with GARDENA Quick Thread Coupling with

female thread Art. 7109 / Quick Coupling Hose
Connector Art. 7103.

v Connect the pressure hose

5

to the connector on the

delivery side

3/ß

3a

.

If more than 2 hoses / accessories are connected simul­taneously, we recommend using the GARDENA 2-

or 4-Channel Water Distributor Art. 8193 / 8194,
GARDENA Twin-Tap Connector Art. 940 which can

be screwed directly onto the connection on the delivery
side
