Introduction

Welcome to the Garden of GARDENA...
Please read these operating instructions carefully and observe the notes given. Use the instructions to familiarise yourself with the equipment, the operating controls, their correct use, and the notes on safety.
Keep these operating instructions in a safe place.

For safety reasons, children under 16 as well as persons not familiar with these operating instructions should not use this Fountain Pump Set.

Where to use Your GARDENA Fountain Pump Set

Intended Use
GARDENA Fountain Pumps have been designed for private use.
They are not designed for operating watering tools and systems.
The pumps may be used indoors as well as outdoors.

GARDENA Fountain Pumps have not been designed for constant use in the industrial sector. Corrosive, easily combustible, aggressive or explosive substances (e.g. petrol, petroleum, nitro thinner) as well as salt-water or food / drinking water must not be pumped.

For Your Safety

Electrical Safety
The pump should be operated via a residual current device with a residual current rating of ≤ 30 mA (DIN VDE 0100 -702 and 0100 -738).
The pump must be placed on solid, even ground.

• Please ask your electrician for his advice.

Always disconnect the pump from the mains before undertaking any work on it.

Mains power cables should not have a smaller cross-section than a rubber sheathed cable of the designation H05 RN-F3G0,75 (FP 4000 E, FP 5000 E, FP 7500 E: H05 RN-F3G1,0). Extension cables must meet the requirements of DIN VDE 0620.
Check line voltage. Data indicated on the type plate must match technical data of the mains supply.
The pump must not be operated when there are people in the water. Swimming pools and garden ponds should be designed according to international and national design regulations.

• Please consult a professional electrician.
  For Austria:
  Pumps for use on swimming pools and on ponds may only be operated via an isolating transformer.
• Please consult a professional electrician.
  For Switzerland:
  In Switzerland mobile appliances which are used outdoors, must be connected via a residual-current device.

Note : Do not allow the pump to run without water because dry-running leads to an undesirable build up of heat.

Before operating the pump, look to see if there is any damage of the pump (esp. regarding power cable and plug). The connection cable of the pump cannot be replaced. If the cable is damaged the pump must be scrapped.

Do not use the power cable to carry the pump or to pull the plug out of the socket. Protect the power cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.

The temperature of the liquid used must not be below 4°C or above 35°C.

Sand and other abrasive substances in the liquid cause increased wear and reduce the output of the pump.

Please observe the local noise prevention regulations.
