Area of application of your GARDENA Garden Pump

Purpose

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 swimming pool water containing chlorine.

Please note

| The GARDENA Garden Pump 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 nitro thinner), saltwater and food must not be pumped. The temperature of the liquid must not exceed 35 °C.

Safety Instructions

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

→ 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.
→ 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.
→ 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 pump must be supplied through a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 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. 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.
→ 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 drinking water quality being drawn back in.
→ 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.
→ Consult your qualified electrician.
→ Don’t use the power cable for carrying the pump or for plugging off.

**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.
→ Consult your qualified electrician.
→ 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.
→ Please ask your electrician.

_ **In Switzerland**_
In Switzerland mobile appliances which are used outdoors, must be connected via a residualcurrent device.

**Visual check**
→ 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.
→ In case of damage, please have the pump checked by our GARDENA Service Centre or by an authorised electrician.
→ A damaged connection cable may only be exchanged by GARDENA Service or an authorised electrician.

Note

→ 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.
→ 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.
→ 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.
Warning! This machine produces an electromagnetical field during operation. This field may under some circumstances interfere with active or passive medical implants. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, we recommend persons with medical implants to consult their physician and the medical implant manufacturer before operating this machine.
Danger! Small parts could be swallowed during assembly and there is a risk of suffocation from the polybag. Keep infants away during assembly.

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.
→ 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

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. no. 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.

Screw a vacuum-resistant suction hose ① airtight onto the connector on the suction side of the pump 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

The pumps have 2 connections ③/ 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/ 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.
→ Connect the pressure hose ⑤ to the connector on the delivery side ③/ .
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 ③/ .

Operation

Filling the pump

| DANGER! Electric shock!
Risk of injury due to electric shock.
→ Disconnect from the mains before filling the Garden Pump.
---|---
| ATTENTION!
→ Before each operation, slowly fill the pump with liquid to be pumped until it overflows (approx. 2 to 3 l).

Open the cap ⑥ on the filler neck ⑦ by hand.
Fill the pump via the filler cap ⑦ to overflowing with approx. 2 to 3 l of the liquid to be pumped.
Tighten the cap ⑥ of the filler cap ⑦ by hand (do not use pliers).
Open any shut-off valves in the delivery line (accessories, water stop, etc.).
Drain remaining water in pressure hose ⑤ so that air can escape during the suction process.
Switching on pump 4000/5: Lift and hold the delivery hose ⑤ at least 1 m vertically above the pump, press the On/Off switch ⑧ (On/Off switch shines) and wait until the pump has primed.
→ If the pump does not deliver after approx. 5 minutes, switch off the pump (press On/Off switch ⑧)
(see 7. Trouble-Shooting).
Switching on pump 5000/5; 6000/6 inox:
Lift and hold the delivery hose ⑤ at least 1 m vertically above the pump, insert the power plug, press the On/Off button (the LED shines green) and wait until the pump has primed.
If the pump does not deliver within approx. 20 seconds, the LED flashes orange.
If the pump does not deliver: 5000/5 within approx. 5 minutes/6000/6 inox within approx. 6 minutes, the LED shines red and the pump switches off automatically (see “7. Trouble-Shooting”).
→ If the pump does not automatically switch off then manually switch the pump off and check the hose for leaks.

The specified maximum self-priming suction height of 8 m is reached only if the pump is filled via the filler neck ⑦ up to the overflow and if, while doing so and during the self-priming, the delivery hose ⑤ is held up sufficiently high to prevent any flow medium escaping from the pump via the delivery hose ⑤.

Special mode

Additional electrical switching devices (e.g. remote control systems, pressure switches) can be used only in the special mode.

Activating the special mode

When switching on, press the On/Off button for 8 seconds.
During the first 5 seconds, the green LED is illuminated; then the LED blinks for 3 seconds.
When the green LED illuminates again after 8 seconds, let go of the On/Off button .

Deactivating the special mode:

Plug the mains plug into an energised mains socket.
The pump starts of its own accord.
Press the On/Off button . The pump switches off.
When switching on, keep the On/Off button depressed for 8 seconds until the green LED no longer flashes.

The safe-pump function uses the LED status display to alert the user that there is no water flow. In addition, it acts as Dry-Running Safety, guarding against pump damage if the delivery side is closed too long (e.g. closed valves) or if the water supply fails (e.g. empty cistern).

LED flashes green:	Normal operation
LED flashes orange:	No water flow for at least 20 seconds
LED shines red:	**No water flow for at least 5 minutes (pump has

switched off automatically)
LED flashes red:| Alarm! Pump was started 3 times within 20 min. without water flow. (Pump can no longer be started for 5 min. to allow cooling, after which the LED shines red)**
