2. Safety Information

Please read and understand all safety warnings and instructions before operating the pump. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

• Always disconnect the pump from the power supply before handling, cleaning, or performing any maintenance.
• Ensure the power supply voltage matches the pump's rated voltage (230 Volts).
• Do not operate the pump if the power cord or plug is damaged.
• Never lift or carry the pump by its power cord.
• Keep children and pets away from the operating pump.
• Do not use the pump for flammable, corrosive, or explosive liquids.
• Ensure the pump is fully submerged during operation to prevent overheating.

3. Setup

Follow these steps for initial setup of your GARDENA submersible pump:

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the pump and all accessories from the packaging. Inspect for any damage.
2. Hose Connection: Attach a suitable discharge hose to the pump's outlet. The pump supports various hose diameters. Ensure a secure, leak-free connection.
3. Positioning: Place the pump on a stable, level surface in the area to be drained. Ensure the pump is fully submerged in water before starting.
4. Float Switch Adjustment: Adjust the float switch cable length to control the pump's automatic on/off levels. A shorter cable means the pump will switch on and off with smaller water level fluctuations.
5. Power Connection: Plug the pump into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is protected by a Residual Current Device (RCD) if operating outdoors or in wet conditions.

4. Operating

The GARDENA 2-in-1 pump can handle both clean and dirty water. Its operation is primarily controlled by the float switch.

• Automatic Operation: Once plugged in and submerged, the pump will automatically start when the water level rises and lifts the float switch. It will stop when the water level drops and the float switch falls.
• Manual Operation: For continuous operation or to drain water to the lowest possible level (1mm for clean water), the float switch can be secured in an upright position. Refer to the specific instructions in your product packaging for securing the float switch.
• Clean Water Mode: For draining clean water, the pump can achieve a very low residual water level of approximately 1 mm. This is ideal for drying out flat surfaces.
• Dirty Water Mode: The pump is capable of handling dirty water containing particles up to 35 mm in diameter. This makes it suitable for flooded areas with debris.

5. Maintenance

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

• Cleaning: After each use, especially with dirty water, rinse the pump thoroughly with clean water. Remove any debris or foreign objects from the pump intake and impeller area.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the power cord, plug, and float switch for any signs of damage or wear.
• Storage: When not in use, store the pump in a dry, frost-free location. Ensure it is clean and free of water to prevent freezing damage.
• Winterization: If storing for extended periods in cold climates, ensure all water is drained from the pump to prevent damage from freezing.
