2. For Your Safety
The pump should be operated via a residual current device
with a residual current rating of ≤ 30 mA (DIN VDE 0100-702
and 0100-738). The pump must be placed on solid, even ground.
Please ask your electrician for his advice.
Mains power cables should not have a smaller cross-section
than a rubber sheathed cable of the designation H05 RNF.
Extension cables must meet the requirements of DIN VDE 0620.
In Austria power cables should correspond to ÖVE-EM 42,
T2 (2000)/1979 § 22 according to § 2022.1. According to this
standard pumps used in swimming pools and ponds should only
be operated via an isolating transformer. Please contact your
electrician.
In Switzerland mobile appliances which are used outdoors,
must be connected via a residual-current device.
Before operating the pump, look to see 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 autho-
rised electrician.
Check line voltage. Data indicated on the type plate must match
technical data of the mains supply.
The pump must not be operated when there are people in the
water.
Swimming pools and garden ponds should be designed accord-
ing to international and national design regulations. Please
consult a professional electrician.
Do not use the power cable to carry the pump or to pull the plug
out of the socket. Protect the power cable from heat, oil and
sharp edges.
Please unplug the pump after operation and before carrying out
any maintenance works.
The temperature of the liquid used must not be below 4°C or
above 35°C.
Sand and other abrasive substances in the liquid cause in-
creased wear and reduce the output of the pump.
Please observe the local noise prevention regulations.
