Article Number: 1442
Welcome to the Garden of GARDENA
Please read these operating instructions carefully and observe the notes given. Use these operating instructions to familiarise yourself with the Garden Pump, its correct use and the notes on safety.
For safety reasons, children under the age of 16 as well as persons not familiar with these operating instructions should not use this Garden Pump.
Please keep these instructions in a safe place.
1. Where to Use Your GARDENA Garden Pump
Intended Use
The GARDENA Garden Pump is designed for domestic use around the house and garden.
When using the pump for pressure intensification, the max. permissible internal pressure of 6 bar (on the delivery side) must not be exceeded. The increased delivery pressure and the pump pressure have to be added together.
Example: Pressure at the tap = 1.5 bar, maximum pressure of the Garden Pump 3000/3 Jet = 3.3 bar, total pressure = 4.8 bar.
Liquids that can be pumped
The GARDENA Garden Pump can be used for pumping rainwater, tap water and chlorinated swimming pool water.
Please note
The GARDENA Garden Pump is not suitable for continuous operation (e.g. industrial applications, continuous circulating operation). Corrosive, easily combustible, aggressive or explosive liquids (such as gasoline, petroleum or nitro thinner), saltwater and food must not be pumped. The temperature of the liquid must not exceed 35 °C.
2. For Your Safety
⚠️ Warning! Electric shock!
Risk of injury due to electric shock.
Always unplug your Garden Pump before filling, after operation, when troubleshooting and before carrying out any maintenance work.
⚠️ Hot water – risk of scalding!
If the pump is operated for prolonged periods of time (> 5 min) with the delivery side closed, the water in the pump may heat up so that there is a risk of scalding yourself with hot water.
The pump should not run against the closed delivery side for more than 5 minutes.
If liquid fails to flow, switch off the pump immediately.
Location
Caution: Pursuant to DIN VDE 0100-702 and 0100-738 use of the pump nearby swimming pools and garden ponds and other similar places is only permissible if the pump is operated via a residual-current device (FI switch) with a residual current rating of ≤ 30 mA. The pump must be located on solid, even ground, protected from flooding. Take care that the pump cannot fall into water. As an additional safety device an authorised safety switch can be used.
Please ask your electrician for his advice.
Extension cables
Date indicated on the type plate must match technical data of the mains supply.
Pursuant to DIN VDE 0620, power cable as well as extension cables must not have a smaller diameter than rubber sheathed cables described with letter symbols H07 RNF.
Don't use the power cable for carrying the pump or for plugging off.
In Austria
In Austria, the electrical connections must be made according to ÖVE-EM 42, T2 (2000)/1979 § 22 based on § 2022. Pursuant to this regulation it's imperative to operate pumps for swimming pools and garden ponds exclusively via an isolating transformer.
Please ask your electrician.
In Switzerland
In Switzerland mobile appliances which are used outdoors, must be connected via a residual-current device.
Visual check
Before operating the pump, first make a visual check, if there is any damage of the pump (esp. regarding power cable and plug).
A damaged pump must not be used.
In case of damage, please have the pump checked by our GARDENA Service Centre or by an authorised electrician.
Note
Protect the pump from rain. Don't use the pump in wet or moist area.
In order to avoid dry-running of the pump, take care that the end of the suction hose is always submerged into the liquid.
Before each operation, fill the pump to overflowing with approx. 2 to 3 l of the liquid to be pumped!
Sand and other abrasive substances in the liquid cause increased wear and reduce the pump's output.
Use a pump preliminary filter for pumping sandy liquids.
The minimum flow rate is 80 l / h (= 1.3 l/min). Watering accessories with lower rate must not be operated.
3. Initial Operation
Setting up your Garden Pump:
The site must be firm and solid in order to ensure safe and sturdy operating conditions for the pump.
Position the pump at a safe distance from the liquid to be pumped.
Connecting hose to suction side:
Don't use any hose connection system fittings on the suction side! A vacuum-resistant suction hose must be used.
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.
- Screw a vacuum-resistant suction hose airtight onto the connector [connector 1] on the suction side of the pump [pump 2].
- For suction heights exceeding 4 m also secure the suction hose [suction hose 1] (e.g. by fastening it to a wooden post). This relieves the pump of the weight of the suction hose.
Connection hose to delivery side:
The pump connection [connector 4] is equipped with a 33.3 mm (G 1") thread suitable for connecting 13 mm (1/2"), 16 mm (5/8") or 19 mm (3/4") hoses using the GARDENA hose connection system.
Best results regarding the delivery capacity of the pump are achieved 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 [pressure hose 3] to the connector [connector 4] on the delivery side [pump 4].
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 [connector 4].
4. Operation
Filling the pump:
⚠️ Warning! Electric shock! Risk of injury due to electric shock. Disconnect from the mains before filling the Garden Pump.
Dry-Running
Before each operation, fill the pump to overflowing with approx. 2 to 3 l of the liquid to be pumped!
- Unscrew the screw fitting [fitting 5] of the filler cap [filler cap 6] by hand.
- Fill the pump via the filler cap [filler cap 6] to overflowing with approx. 2 to 3 l of the liquid to be pumped.
- Tighten the screw fitting [fitting 5] of the filler cap [filler cap 6] by hand (do not use pliers).
- Open all possible shut-off devices in the pressure line (watering accessories, Water Stop, etc.).
- Drain remaining water [water 3] in pressure hose so that air can escape during the suction process.
- Set On/Off switch [switch 7] to position "0" position.
- Plug the pump into a 230 V / 50 Hz alternating current socket.
- Set On/Off switch [switch 7] to position "1" position.
- Hold the pressure hose [pressure hose 3] approx. 1 m vertically above the pump until the pump begins to pump.
If the pump does not deliver liquid after 7 minutes, set the On/Off switch [switch 7] to position "0" (see 6. Trouble-Shooting).
The specified maximum self-priming height of 7 m is only achieved if the pump is filled via the filler neck [filler neck 6] until it overflows and if the suction hose [suction hose 1] is held as high as possible while filling and during the self-priming procedure so that no liquid can escape from the pump via the suction hose [suction hose 1].
5. Maintenance
Cleaning your Garden Pump:
The GARDENA Garden Pump is essentially maintenance-free.
The pump must be cleaned after pumping chlorinated swimming pool water.
- Rinse the Garden Pump with lukewarm water (max. 35 °C). If necessary add some soft cleaning agent (e.g. washing-up liquid).
- Remove residuals according to the waste disposal laws applicable in your area.
6. Trouble Shooting
⚠️ Warning! Electric shock! Risk of injury due to electric shock. Disconnect Garden Pump from the mains before trouble-shooting.
Free the impeller:
An impeller blocked by dirt can be freed again.
Turn the impeller bolt [impeller bolt 8] using a screwdriver. This will free the blocked impeller.
Cleaning the pump thoroughly:
- Unscrew the 6 housing bolts [housing bolts 9].
- Remove the housing cover [cover 10] and clean the impeller chamber.
- Tighten the impeller bolt [impeller bolt 8] using a screwdriver.
- Loosen the impeller [impeller 11] using a ring spanner, remove and clean.
- Install the impeller [impeller 11] in the reverse order.
Troubleshooting Table
