2. Safety Instructions

Electrical safety:
DANGER ! Electric shock !
The pump must not be operated if there are
people in the swimming pool or garden pond.
➔ Ensure that the electrical plug and socket
connections are fitted in an area which
cannot flood.
➔ Protect power plug from moisture.
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.
According to DIN VDE (German Electrical
Engineers' Association) 0620, mains power cables
must not have a smaller cross-section than the
rubber-sheathed cables of the designation H05
RNF. The cable length must be at least 10 m.
Data indicated on the type plate must match
technical data of the mains supply.
According to DIN VDE 100 / AS/NZS 3000,
pumps may only be operated in swimming pools,
garden ponds and wells via a fault current circuit
breaker with a nominal fault current of
Swimming pools and garden ponds should be
designed according to international and national
design regulations.
For safety reasons we recommend that the pump
is always operated by a residual-current device
(DIN VDE 0100-702 and 0100-738).
➔ If in doubt please consult a qualified electrician.
Protect plug and power cable from heat, oil and
sharp edges.
The connection cable of the pump cannot be
replaced. If the cable is damaged the pump must
be scrapped.
➔ Do not pull out the power cable from the sok-
ket as a method of turning the pump off.
The power cable or the float switch must not be
used for mounting or relocating the pump. For
submerging or lifting/securing the pump, fix a
rope to the pump's carrying handle.
In Austria, according to ÖVE B/EN 60 555
parts 1 to 3, pumps which are used in
swimming 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 mobile appliances which are
used outdoors must be connected via a
residual-current device.
Operating instructions:
➔ Before operating the pump look to see if
there is any damage to the pump (especially
to the power cable and plug).
➔ Clear the outlet line before use. Avoid
running the pump with the outlet side
closed off for more than 10 minutes.
against closed delivery side of the pump.
➔ Observe the minimum water level and the
max. delivery height (see 8. Technical Data).
A damaged pump must not be used.
➔ In case of damage, please have the pump
checked by our GARDENA Service Centre.
Dry-running operation causes increased wear
and is to be avoided. Therefore, in manual
operation the pump must be immediately
unplugged when water fails to flow.
➔ Observe the pump at all times during
manual operation.
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.
Safety instructions:
Thermal motor protector:
The pump is automatically switched off on
overheating by the built-in thermal motor
protector. After having cooled down, the
motor automatically switches on again (see
7. Troubleshooting).
Automatic Air bleed valve:
The automatic air bleed valve eliminates any
air pockets in the pump. During this process, air
escapes through the vent bores
bles appear underwater. This is not a defect of
your pump, but serves to deaerate the pump,
but serves to remove air
from the pump.
It may take several
seconds for the air to
escape when the pump
is immersed for the first
time.
