Additional safety warnings
Electrical safety

DANGER! Cardiac arrest!
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.

Cables
If extension cables are used, these must comply with the minimum cross- sections in the table below:

Voltage	Cable length	Cross section
230 – 240 V / 50 Hz	Up to 20 m	1.5 mm2
230 – 240 V / 50 Hz	20 – 50 m	2.5 mm2

DANGER! Electric shock!
With a cut off mains plug, moisture can get into electrical parts via the mains cable and cause a short circuit.

Never cut the mains plug off (e. g. to feed through wall).
Don’t use the power cable for plugging off.
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.
Mains plug and extension connections must be protected from water splashes.
Ensure that the electrical connections for plugs and sockets are made in areas safe from flooding.
Protect the mains plug and the mains power cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.
Observe the mains voltage. The information on the nameplate must be in agreement with the data for the mains power grid.
The pump’s mains plug must be disconnected before anybody enters the swimming pool or touches the surface of the water.
The mains power cable must not be used for fastening or transporting the pump.
For submerging or lifting / securing the pump, please use a fastening rope.
Please regularly check the connecting line.
Before using, always subject the pump (especially the power cables and the power connections) to a visual inspection.
A pump which is damaged should not be used. In the event of damage, have the pump checked by GARDENA Service.
Assembly instructions: Retighten all screws by hand.
Before use after maintenance, make sure that all parts are screwed together.
When using our pumps with a generator, the warnings of the generator manufacturer must be observed.

Personal safety

DANGER! Risk of suffocation!
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.
Observe the minimum water level in accordance with the characteristics given for the pump.
Allow the pump to run no longer than 10 minutes against a closed pressure side.
Sand and other abrasive substances cause increased wear and reduce the pump’s output.
The float switch may only be operated outside the water.
The hose must not be disconnected during operation.
Allow the pump to cool down before troubleshooting.
The pump must not be operated without the mounted contra-angle handpiece.

ASSEMBLY

DANGER! Risk of injury!
Injury when the product starts accidentally.

Disconnect the product from the mains before you assemble the product.

To screw the elbow connector into the pump [ Fig. A1 ]:
DANGER! Risk of injury!
Cut Injury by the impeller.

Operate the pump only with the elbow connector.
Screw the elbow connector (1) clockwise into the pump.
The hose can be connected via the pump connection (1) and the connection nipple (2) [25 mm (1″) and 38 mm (1 1/2″)] or via the GARDENA Connection System [13 mm (1/2″) / 16 mm (5/8″) / 19 mm (3/4″)]. When using a 38 mm (1 1/2″) hose, the pump has the maximum delivery capacity.

Connect hose via connection nipple [ Fig. A2 / A3 / A4 ]:
25 mm (1″)- and 38 mm (1 1/2″)-hoses can be connected via the connection nipple (2).

Screw the elbow connector into the pump.
Screw connection nipple (2) onto the pump connection (1). (For 38 mm (1 1/2″) hoses, first detach the connection nipple (2) in the groove at (b)).
Push the hose onto the connection nipple (2) and fix e. g. with a GARDENA Hose Clamp Art. 7193 / 7195.

Connect hose via the GARDENA Connection System [ Fig. A5 ]:
We do not recommend to use hoses with a diameter smaller than 19 mm (3/4″), as otherwise the flow rate will be reduced.

OPERATION

DANGER! Risk of injury!
Injury when the product starts accidentally.

Disconnect the product from the mains before you connect, adjust or transport the product.
To pump water:
If the pump cannot be immersed into the water reservoir via the handle, the pump must always be immersed into the well or water reservoir via a rope. Minimum immersion depth during initial operation see 7. TECHNICAL DATA.
Take care that the pump is located where the inlet openings at the suction base are not obstructed neither completely nor partly.

Stand the pump on a brick if using in a pond.

Submerge the pump in water reservoir.
Connect the pump to the mains.
Attention! The pump begins operating immediately. Automatic mode with float switch [ Fig. O1 ]: So that the pump automatically switches off when there is no liquid to pump, the Float Switch (3) must be able to freely move on the surface of the water. To adjust the Cut-in and Cut-out Height [ Fig. O1 ]: The maximum cut-in height and minimum cut-out height (see 7. TECHNICAL DATA) can be adjusted by pushing the float switch wire into the float switch lock.
- The shorter the length of cable between the float switch (3) and the float switch lock (A), the lower the cut- in height and the higher the cut-out height. v Push the cable of the float switch (3) into the opening in the float switch lock (A).
  CAUTION!
  In order to ensure that the float switch is able to switch on and off, the cable length between the float switch and the float switch lock must be at least 10 cm.

Manual operation [ Fig. O2 ]:
The pump remains permanently in operation because the float switch is bypassed.

Slide the float switch (3) with the cable downwards onto the float switch locking device (A).
Stand the pump on a firm surface.
Connect the pump to the mains.
Attention! The pump begins operating immediately.
The minimum residual water depth (see 7. TECHNICAL DATA) is only achieved in manual mode because the float switch already switches off the pump before this when in automatic mode.

MAINTENANCE

DANGER! Risk of injury!
Injury when the product starts accidentally.

Disconnect the product from the mains before you maintain the product.

To flush the pump:
After pumping chlorinated water, the pump must be flushed.

Pump lukewarm water (max. 35 °C), possibly adding a mild cleaning agent (e. g. detergent) until the pumped water runs clear.
Remove residuals according to the waste disposal laws applicable in your area.

STORAGE

To put into storage:
The pump is not frost-proof! The product must be stored away from children.
