The GARDENA Garden Pump is designed for domestic use around
Purpose:
the house and garden.
When the pump is used for pressure boosting, the maximum
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 4000/5 = 4.5 bar bar, total pressure = 6.0 bar.
The GARDENA Garden Pump can be used for pumping
Liquids that can be pumped:
ground water and rain water, tap water and swimming pool
water containing chlorine.
Please note: The GARDENA Garden Pump is not suitable for continuous
operation (e.g. industrial applications, continuous circulat-
ing 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. Safety Instructions

DANGER! Electric shock!
Risk of injury due to electric shock.
v Always unplug your Garden Pump before fil-
ling, after operation, when trouble-shooting
and before carrying out any maintenance work.
RISK OF INJURY!
Hot water - risk of scalding!
For pump 4000/5 only: 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.
v The pump should not run against the closed
delivery side for more than 5 minutes.
If the water supply on the intake side of the
pump fails, the water in the pump can heat up
so that if water emerges, injuries could be
caused by the hot water.
v Disconnect the pump from the mains via
the main circuit breaker, let the water cool
and secure the suction-side water supply
before putting into operation again.
Location
Caution: Pursuant to DIN VDE 0100-702 and
0100-738, AS/NZS 3000 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 not be operated when there are
persons in the swimming pool or garden pond.
The pump must be located on solid, even ground,
protected from flooding. Take care that the pump
cannot fall into water. Position the pump at a safe
distance (min. 2 m) from the liquid to be pumped.
As an additional safety device an authorised safety
switch can be used.
v Please ask your electrician for his advice.
When connecting the pump to the water supply
system, the country-specific sanitary regulations
must be observed to prevent water not of drin-
king water quality being drawn back in.
v Please consult a specialist for sanitary
installations.
Extension cables
Date indicated on the type plate must match
technical data of the mains supply.
Only use extension cables authorised in
accordance with HD 516.
v Consult your qualified electrician.
v 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.
v Please ask your electrician.
In Switzerland
In Switzerland mobile appliances which are
used outdoors, must be connected via a residual-
current device.
Visual check
v Before operating the pump, first make a visual
cheek, if there is any damage of the pump
(esp. regarding power cable and plug).
A damaged pump must not be used.
v In case of damage, please have the pump
checked by our GARDENA Service Centre or
by an authorised electrician.
v A damaged connection cable may only
be exchanged by GARDENA Service or an
authorised electrician.
Note
v 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.
v Before each operation, fill the pump to over-
flowing with approx. 2 to 3 l of the liquid to be
pumped!
Sand and other abrasive substances in the liquid
cause in-creased wear and reduce the pump's
output.
Pumping dirty water, e.g. stones, pine needles
etc., can cause damage to the pump.
v Do not pump dirty water.
The minimum flow rate is: 4000/5: 90 l/h
(= 1.5 l/min); 5000/5: 200 l/h (= 3.3 l/min).
Watering accessories with lower rate must not
be operated.
