Notes on use
According to DIN VDE (German Electrical Engineers' Associa-
tion) 0100, submersible pumps and dirty water pumps may only
be used in swimming pools, garden ponds, and fountains if the
pump is operated via a residual-current 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 pump via a residual-current device (DIN VDE 0100-702
and 0100-738).
v Please contact your electrician.
In Austria, according to ÖVE B / EN 60 555 part 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.
According to DIN VDE (German Electrical Engineers' Associa-
tion) 0620, mains power cables must not have a smaller cross-
section than the rubber-sheathed cables of the designation
H05 RNF (model 10000 SL Inox) or H07 RNF (model 18000 SP
Inox). The cable length must be at least 10 m.
Data indicated on the type plate must match technical data of
the mains supply.
v Take care that the electrical connections are made within
dry area, protected from flooding.
Protect plug and power cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.
v Don't use the power cable for plugging off.
The power cable or the float switch must not be used for mount-
ing or relocating the pump. For submerging or lifting / securing
the pump, fix a rope to the pump's carrying handle.
Extension cables must meet the requirements of DIN VDE 0620.
v Before operating the pump, first make a visual check, if there
is any damage of the pump (esp. regarding power cable and
plug).
v Observe the minimum water level and the max. delivery
height (see 8. Technical Data).
A damaged pump must not be used.
v In case of damage, please have the pump checked by our
GARDENA Service Centre.
During manual operation, the pump must be switched off as
soon as all the liquid has been pumped away.
v Observe the pump at all times during manual operation.
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.
Avoid running of the pump for more than 10 min. against closed
delivery side of the pump.
