We recommend installing the GARDENA Central Filter
Art. 1506 / 1510 upstream of the watering system to
protect the components of the watering system from
dirt and contamination. If you are using dirty water, a
filter must be installed upstream of the watering system.
V Grease all O-rings and metal securing clips before
assembly ! Push an O-ring over each end of the
telescopic pipe
1. Install the Valve Box
20 cm x 30 cm x 10 cm (V1) / 30 cm x 35 cm x 10 cm (V3).
This ensures proper drainage of the box.
2. Install the valve box with the top edge of the box at ground
level. This avoids damage when mowing the lawn.
When installing the Valve Box, the lid must be closed. The
adjacent earth may only be carefully compacted to prevent
the walls getting pressed in and the lid from then no longer
closing completely.
If necessary, support walls from inside with spacers when
compacting earth.
