Gardena 5600 Silent Plus Mode D'emploi page 10

v Protect the mains plug and the mains power cable from heat, oil and sharp
edges.
v Do not use the power cable for carrying the pump or for unplugging.
v Place the pump in a flood-proof location.
v Please regularly check the connecting line.
v Before using, always subject the pump (especially the power cables and
the power connections) to a visual inspection.
A pump which is damaged must not be used.
v In the event of damage, have the pump checked by GARDENA Service.
Electrical changes are only conducted by an electrical specialist.
v Before filling, dismantling, maintenance disconnect the mains.
v When using our pumps with a generator, the warnings of the generator
manufacturer must be observed.
1.3.2.1 Cables:
If extension cables are used, these must comply with the minimum cross-sections
in the table below:
Voltage Cable length
230 – 240 V / 50 Hz Up to 20 m
230 – 240 V / 50 Hz 20 – 50 m
1.3.3 Additional personal safety warnings
DANGER!
Risk of suffocation!
Small parts can be easily swallowed. There is also a risk that the polybag
can suffocate toddlers.
v Keep toddlers away when you assemble the product.
DANGER!
Risk of injury from hot water!
Pumped water is under pressure and when it hits the body or eyes
directly can cause injury.
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.
v Let the pump operate for max. 5 minutes against the closed pressure
side or with missing water supply.
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.
v Disconnect the pump from the mains and let the water cool.
v Do not open any caps and screw connections when the water is hot.
v Before restarting, secure the water supply on the suction side and fill
the pump completely with water.
If hoses or pipes are exposed to the sun, they can become very hot.
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 Consult a specialist for sanitary installations.
In order to avoid dry-running of the pump, take care that the end of the suction
hose is always submerged into the liquid.
v Before each operation, fill the pump with water up to the overflow (min. 2 l)!
v When filling the pump with water, make sure that no hoses or consumers are
connected to the pump and that the pump is generally in a horizontal position.
v Make sure that the hoses are laid without kinks.
Sand and other abrasive substances cause increased wear and reduce the
pump's output.
v Use the pump only with the integrated filter installed.
Otherwise the pump could be damaged.
v Use a pump pre-filter for pumping sandy liquids.
Pumping dirty water, e. g. stones, pine needles etc., can cause damage to the
pump.
v Do not pump dirty water.
The minimum flow rate is 90 l/h (1.5 l/min). Connection devices with a lower flow
rate must not be operated.
2. ASSEMBLY
DANGER!
Risk of injury!
Risk of injury due to accidental starting.
v Unplug the plug of the mains cable from the mains socket.
2.1 Installation site:
• When installing below the water level, a shut-off device must be
installed to prevent unwanted water loss.
• The installation site must be horizontal, solid and dry and allow the
pump to stand securely.

• It must be at a distance of at least 2 m from the water.
• The pump must be installed in a flood-proof location.
2.2 To connect the hose to the suction side [ Fig. A6 ]:
The connector on the suction side
external thread.
The connection piece on the suction side may only be tightened
by hand [ Fig. A2 ].
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 has been switched off [ Fig. A3 ].
Sucking in air in the suction system can lead to functional failure and
increased noise generation.
v Connect the suction system carefully.
Cross section v Check the gasket regularly and replace it if necessary.
Don't use any hose quick connection system fittings on the suction
1.5 mm²
side.
2.5 mm²
A vacuum-resistant suction hose must be used on the suction side:
• e. g. the GARDENA Suction Unit Art. 1411 / 1412 / 1418
• or the GARDENA Bore Hole Suction Hose Art. 1729.
• Connect suction hoses
hose connection piece (e. g. Art. 1723 / 1724) to the connection of the
suction side and screw it airtight.
2.2.1 There are 2 types of connection systems:
Intended for flat gasket:
No thread sealing tape is required.
v Make sure that the flat gasket
connection piece and is undamaged.
Intended for thread sealing tape (Teflon):
No flat gasket is required.
An unsuitable sealing system can lead to leaks.
v Use the sealing system intended for this purpose.
1. Make sure that the flat gasket
nection piece.
2. Screw the vacuum-resistant suction hose
on the suction side
on [ Fig. A1 ].
3. Lay the suction hose
4. For suction heights exceeding 3 m: Fix the suction hose
(e.g. by fastening it to a wooden post).
Therefore, the pump is relieved of the weight of the suction hose.
2.3 To connect the hose to the pressure side [ Fig. A7 ]:
To guarantee a good venting, connect the pressure hose only after the
pump has been filled (see 3.1.3 Initial operation of the pump).
The connector on the pressure side
external thread.
The connection pieces on the pressure side may only be tightened
by hand.
Optimised use of the pump capacity is achieved by connecting
19 mm (3/4") hoses with:
• e. g. the GARDENA Pump Connection Set Art. 1752
• or by connecting 25 mm (1") hoses with the GARDENA Quick
Thread Coupling with female thread Art. 7109 / Quick Coupling
Hose Connector Art. 7103.
There are 2 connectors on the pressure side. One horizontal (180° rotat-
able) and one vertical connector. The unused connector must be closed
with the sealing cap
Hold or fix the pressure hose vertically to avoid kinking of the pressure
hose at the vertical pump outlet.
Lay the hose flat on the ground; avoid u-shaped elevations of the hose
and coiling it. In order to allow the air to escape optimally, lay out the pres-
sure hose completely and give it a rising course as seen from the pump.
