operating conditions for the pump.
Position the pump at a safe distance from the liquid to be
pumped.
Don't use any hose connection system fittings on the suction side!
A vacuum-resistant suction hose must be used
The connection pieces on the intake and output sides must
only be tightened by hand !
• e.g. GARDENA Suction Unit, art. no. 1411.
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 is stopped.
1. Screw a vacuum-resistant suction hose airtight onto the con-
nector on the suction side of the pump
2. For suction heights exceeding 4 m also secure the suction
hose (e.g. by fastening it to a wooden post).
This relieves the pump of the weight of the suction hose.
Both pump connectors k
thread to which 13 mm (1/2"), 19 mm (3/4") and 16 mm (5/8")
hoses can be connected by using GARDENA hose connection
system fittings. The back pump connector is closed with an end
cap. Unscrew the end cap for connecting two hoses.
Best results regarding the delivery capacity of the pump are achie-
ved when connecting 19 mm (3/4") hoses in conjunction with e.g.
• GARDENA Pump Connection Set, art. no. 1752,
or when using 25 mm (1") hoses with fittings available from your
sanitary dealer.
Connect the pressure hose to the connector k
side .
When connecting simultaneously more than 2 hoses/accessories
we recommend application of the
• GARDENA Twin-Tap Connector or Four Channel Water
Distributor art. no. 1210 / 1194,
which can be screwed directly onto the delivery side connection
