Safety Instructions - Gardena 5500/3 Mode D'emploi

2. Safety instructions

Electrical Safety:
DANGER! Electric shock!
With a cut off mains plug, moisture can get
into electrical parts via the mains cable and
cause a short circuit.
v Never cut the mains plug off (e. g. to feed
through wall).
v Don't use the power cable for plugging
off.
DANGER ! Electric shock!
A damaged pump must not be used.
v In case of damage, please have the pump
checked by our GARDENA Service Centre.
v Before operating the pump, first make
a visual check, if there is any damage of
the pump (esp. regarding power cable
and plug).
According to DIN VDE (German Electrical
Engineers' Association) 0100, submersible
pressure pumps may only be used in swim-
ming pools, garden ponds, and fountains
if the pump is operated via a residualcurrent
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 pressure
pump via a residual-current device
(DIN VDE 0100-702 and 0100-738).
v Please contact your electrician.
The cable length must be at least 10m.
The power cable of the Submersible Pressure
Pump must be connected to a socket which
is positioned at a height of max. 1.10m
(measured from ground). Take care that the
power cable leads downwards.
Data 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 Take care that the electrical connections
are made within dry area, protected from
flooding.
v Keep mains plug dry.
Protect plug and power cable from heat, oil
and sharp edges.
The power cable must not be used for mount-
ing or relocating the pump. For submerging or
lifting / securing the pump, please use the
fastening rope.
In Austria:
In Austria, according to ÖVE B/ EN 60 555
part 1 to 3, pumps which are used in swim-
ming 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:
In Switzerland mobile appliances which
are used outdoors, must be connected via
a residual-current device.
Notes on use:
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.
v If necessary, contact your sanitary expert.
Sand and other abrasive substances cause
increased wear and reduce the pump's output.
During operation, the pump must always
be submersed in the water up to the minimum
submersion depth (see 8. Technical
specifications).
Do not allow the pump to run for more than
10 minutes against the closed pressure side
(e.g. closed valve, closed dispenser etc.).
