4. Setup

4.1. Hose Connection

The pump features quick connectors for easy hose attachment. Select the appropriate adapter for your hose size (13 mm to 32 mm) and securely attach it to the pump's outlet.

4.2. Float Switch Adjustment

The float switch controls the automatic on/off function of the pump. Adjust the cable length of the float switch to set the desired water level for activation and deactivation. A shorter cable length will result in earlier activation and deactivation, while a longer cable allows for a wider range of water levels.

For continuous operation, the float switch can be secured in an upward position, ensuring the pump runs constantly regardless of the water level, until manually switched off or unplugged.

4.3. Placement

Place the pump on a stable, flat surface in the area to be drained. The integrated hose connection design helps maintain the pump's balance during operation.

5. Operating Instructions

Once the pump is set up and the hose is connected, plug the power cable into a suitable electrical outlet. The pump will begin operating according to the float switch setting.

• Automatic Mode: The pump will automatically switch on when the water level rises to activate the float switch and switch off when the water level drops below the set minimum.
• Continuous Operation: To run the pump continuously, secure the float switch in an upright position. The pump will then operate until unplugged or the power supply is cut.
• The pump can achieve flat suction down to 5 mm of residual water, ensuring thorough drainage.
• The maximum immersion depth for safe operation is 7 meters.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your pump.

• Cleaning: Disconnect the pump from the power supply. The quick connectors allow for easy opening of the pump to remove any blockages caused by dirt particles. Rinse the pump thoroughly with clean water after each use, especially if pumping slightly contaminated water.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the power cable, plug, and pump housing for any signs of damage. Do not use the pump if any damage is detected.
• The condenser motor with thermal protection switch is designed to be quiet and maintenance-free, requiring no lubrication.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Gardena pump, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Pump does not start:
  • Check if the pump is properly plugged into a functioning power outlet.
  • Verify the float switch position. In automatic mode, the water level must be high enough to activate the switch.
  • Check for power outages or tripped circuit breakers.
• Pump runs but does not pump water:
  • Ensure the pump is fully submerged in water.
  • Check for blockages in the intake or discharge hose. Disconnect power before inspecting.
  • Verify that the hose is not kinked or obstructed.
• Reduced pumping performance:
  • Clean the pump intake and impeller area for any debris.
  • Ensure the hose diameter is appropriate and not too restrictive.
• Pump stops unexpectedly:
  • The thermal protection switch may have activated due to overheating. Allow the pump to cool down before restarting.
  • In automatic mode, the water level may have dropped below the float switch's deactivation point.

If problems persist, contact Gardena customer support or a qualified service technician.
