When using the largest hose diameter, the pump has the maximum delivery capacity.

Pump Art. 9034 Art. 9036 Art. 9044
Small hose diameter 25 mm (1″ 32 mm (1 1/4″)
Art. GARDENA Hose Clamp Art. 7193 Art. 7194
Medium hose diameter GARDENA Connection System G 1″ 38 mm (1 1/2″)
Art. GARDENA Hose Clamp 32 mm (1 1/4″)* Art. 7194 Art. 7195
Large hose diameter 38 mm (1 1/2″) 51 mm (2″)
Art. GARDENA Hose Clamp Art. 7195 Art. 7196

When using the 38 mm (1 1/2″) hose, we recommend the GARDENA Flat Hose Set Art. 5005 with 10 m hose and hose clamp.
For Art. 9034 an additional connection nipple ß4a for 1 1/4″ hoses is supplied.

To connect the hose via the connection nipple:

  1.  When using the large diameter hose, cut off the connection nipple (4) at (a).
  2. Only for Art. 9036/9044: When using the medium hose diameter, cut off the connection nipple (4) at (b).
  3. Push the hose onto the connection nipple (4).
  4. Fix the hose to the connection nipple (4) e.g. with a GARDENA Hose Clamp.

Connect hose via the GARDENA Connection System:
With 17000CLEAR/20000DIRT (Art. 9036/˘9044) the hose cannot be connected via the connection nipple (4) with the GARDENA Connection System.

19 mm (3/4″)/15 mm (5/8″) and 13 mm (1/2″) hoses can be connected via the GARDENA Connection System.
We do not recommend hose diameters smaller than 25 mm (1″), otherwise there will be a significant reduction in the output of the delivery rate.

Hose diameter| Pump connection|
---|---|---
13 mm (1/2″)| GARDENA Pump Connection Set| Art. 1750
15 mm (5/8″)| GARDENA Pump Connection Set| Art. 1750
19 mm (3/4″)| GARDENA Pump Connection Set| Art. 1752

  1. Cut off the connection nipple (4) at (b).
  2. Connect the hose to the connection nipple (4) via the appropriate GARDENA Connection System.

To assemble the pump connection [Fig. A5]:

DANGER! Risk of physical injury!
Injured cut by the impeller.
Operate the pump only with the elbow connector.

The hose can be easily connected and disconnected using the locking devices (2) on the elbow connector (1).
With Art. 9034/9036 a non-return valve is supplied which prevents water from flowing back through the hose. The max. delivery rate is only achieved without the non-return valve.
If only a small amount of reflux is expected, e.g. if the hose is laid flat, we recommend dispensing with the valve due to the better delivery and suction performance.

  1. Only for Art. 9034/9036: Insert the non-return valve ßV into the pump. Observe the installation direction.
  2. Screw the elbow connector (1) clockwise into the pump until it stops. (If the hose is to be installed horizontally, the elbow connector (1) can be screwed out again up to half a turn. When using the non-return valve, increased force is required.)
  3. Screw the connection piece (3) into the connection nipple (4).
  4. Push the connection nipple (4) of the hose into the elbow connector (1) until it stops until it engages audibly and visibly.
    The hose is securely connected to the pump.

OPERATION

DANGER! Risk of physical 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 via the handle, the pump must always be immersed via a rope. Attach the rope by pulling it through the eyelets provided and knotting it. 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.
If the suction process is close to the minimum water level at start-up, the suction process may take longer.

  1. Immerse the pump.
  2. Connect the pump to the mains.
    Attention! The pump begins operating immediately. The sensor is initialised and indicated by a running light.

Automatic operation [Fig. O1]:
OPERATION

In automatic operation the pump switches on automatically when the water level reaches the switch-on level and switches off automatically when the water level reaches the switch-off level.

Switch-on/switch-off heights of the sensor fields:

The sensor has nine sensor fields (ßS1 to ßS9 from bottom to top), which are located to the right of the LEDs.
The sensor fields are about 1 cm high (no finger or changed water level is detected between the sensor fields).

Sensor field ßS1 ßS2 ßS3 ßS4 ßS5 ßS6 ßS7 ßS8 ßS9
Art. 9034 / 9036 Switch height [mm] 5 19
34 53 77 105 136 170 207
Art. 9044 Switch height [mm] 42 54 69
88 112 140 171 205 242

Art. 9034 / 9036: When the feet are folded in, the values are 4 mm higher in each case.
After plugging in the pump the 9 LED’s light up one after the other.
The pump starts at the factory in automatic mode with sensor field switch-on height ßS8 and sensor field switch-off height ßS4.

To adjust the switch-on/switch-off heights [Fig. O1]:

The sensor fields can only be adjusted outside the water.
When the pump has been removed from the water, the sensor should be dried for programming.
The upper sensor field is always the switch-on height, the lower sensor field is always the switch-off height.

  1. Operate the sensor field until the input is acknowledged with a short double flash of all LEDs.

  2. Keep the sensor field ßS7 pushed until the double flashing of all LED’s has acknowledged the input.
    The currently set switch-on and switch-off heights are briefly displayed. After that all sensor fields light up.

  3. Push the desired upper sensor field for the switch-on height.
    The LED of the selected sensor field switches off.

  4. Push the desired lower sensor field for the switch-off height.
    The LED of the selected sensor field switches off. After 3 seconds, the set switch-on and switch-off heights are accepted and displayed.

Automatic clear water suction for very low water levels:

Sensor field ßS1 can be selected both as switch-on and switch-off point.
If the sensor field ßS1 still detects water within 10 minutes after starting the pump, the pump switches off to prevent damage due to dry running.
The pump will still start if sensor field ßS2 detects water.
In this case, however, the sensor should be cleaned to ensure exact water level detection.

If the sensor field ßS1 is activated several times within a short time by water flowing back from the hose line, there is a pause of 10 minutes.
If the water level reaches sensor field ßS2 , the pump switches on automatically, even within the pause of 10 minutes.
If this is the case regularly, please select the next sensor field as the switch-on point.

In order to ensure quick suction, the pump switches off briefly for the sensor field ßS1 – sensor field ßS5 to vent. After 20 seconds of operation, the pump switches off once for approx. 2 seconds and then on again.

To display switch-on and switch-off heights:

Keep the sensor field ßS6 pushed until the double flashing of all LED’s has acknowledged the input.
The currently set switch-on and switch-off heights are displayed.

Disable the water level tracking:

In automatic operation, the LEDs follow the water level. This can be deactivated.
Keep the sensor field ßS8 pushed during initialisation until the double flashing of all LED’s has acknowledged the input (see To pump water).
To switch the water level tracking back on, push and hold the sensor field ßS8 again during initialisation until the double flashing of all LED’s has acknowledged the input.

Demo mode:

For presentation purposes, the pump can be put into demo mode. In this mode, the LEDs simulate the pump’s functions via flashing sequences and the sensor fields react to touch.

Keep the sensor fields ßS5 and ßS8 pushed during initialisation when switching on or during the self-test after plugging in until the double flashing of all LED’s has acknowledged the input.

To switch off the demo mode again, push and hold the sensor fields ßS5 and ßS8 during initialisation when switching on or during the self-test after plugging in until the double flashing of all LED’s has acknowledged the input.

Manual operation [Fig. O1]:

OPERATION

In manual mode the pump runs until the pump is disconnected from the mains. This mode is particularly suitable for flat suction.

In manual operation the sensor fields are deactivated. The pump then runs until the pump is disconnected from the mains or another operating mode is selected.

Keep the sensor fields ßS6 and ßS8 pushed until the double flashing of all LED’s has acknowledged the input.
All LEDs will light up and within 5 seconds all the LEDs will switch off one after the other. The pump starts.
During these 5 seconds the pump should be placed in the water. A start will only take place if the pump detects water. If this is not the case, the countdown is repeated up to three times.
If you need more time to put the pump into the water, please disconnect the pump from the power supply. The countdown will continue after the sensor is plugged in again.

The manual operation remains active even after disconnecting the power supply.

To stop manual operation, disconnect the pump from the mains and take it out of the water. Connect the pump to the power supply again and keep sensor field ßS9 pressed until it is acknowledged by double flashing of all LEDs. Now you are again in automatic mode.

Only operate the manual mode under supervision.

Time-limited manual operation:

In time-limited manual operation, the sensor fields are deactivated for 10 minutes. The pump then runs for 10 minutes and then switches off automatically.

Keep the sensor fields ßS7 and ßS8 pushed until the double flashing of all LED’s has acknowledged the input.
All LEDs will light up and within 10 seconds all LEDs will switch off one after the other. The pump starts. After 10 minutes the pump automatically switches back to automatic operation.
After disconnecting the power supply, the pump automatically switches back to automatic operation.
To return to the automatic mode again, push and hold the 2 sensor fields ßS7 and ßS8 simultaneously until the double flashing of all LEDs has acknowledged the input.

**Flat suction/normal operation (only for the clear water submersible pumps) [Fig. O2]:

**

Normal operation:

Recommended operating mode for maximum pumping capacity and grain size up to 5 mm, especially in automatic mode.

Fold the 3 folding feet (F) inwards.

Flat suction:

The residual water height of approx. 1 mm is only achieved with flat suction in manual operation. Please note that in this mode the delivery and suction capacity is reduced.
Fold the 3 folding feet (F) outwards.
