Connecting hose to delivery side [ Fig. I2 ]:

The 3500/4 pump has 2 connections

connection not in use has to be closed by the cap

unscrewed for connecting 2 hoses.

The pump connections

are equipped with a 33.3 mm (G 1") thread

which can be used to connect 13 mm (1/2"), 16 mm (5/8") or 19 mm

(3/4") hoses via the GARDENA hose connection system.

Optimised use of the pump capacity is achieved by connecting 19 mm

(3/4") hoses with e.g. GARDENA Pump Connection Set Art. 1752, or by

connecting 25 mm (1") hoses with GARDENA Quick Thread Coupling

with female thread Art. 7109 / Quick Coupling Hose Connector

Art. 7103.

v Connect the pressure hose

side

If more than 2 (3000/4 more than 1) hoses / accessories are connected

simultaneously, we recommend using the GARDENA 2- or 4-Channel

Water Distributor Art. 8193/8194, GARDENA Twin-Tap Connector

Art. 940 which can be screwed directly onto the connection on the

delivery side

3. OPERATION

Filling the pump [ Fig. O1 / O2 ]:

DANGER! Electric shock!

Risk of injury due to electric shock.

v Disconnect from the mains before filling the Garden Pump.

CAUTION! Dry-Running

v Before each operation, fill the pump to overflowing with

approx. 2 to 3 l of the liquid to be pumped!

1. Unscrew the screw fitting

of the filler cap

2. Fill the pump via the filler cap

the liquid to be pumped.

3. Tighten the screw fitting

of the filler cap

pliers).

4. Open any shut-off valves in the delivery line (accessories, water stop, etc.).

5. Drain remaining water

in pressure hose so that air can escape during

the suction process.

6. Insert the power plug.

7. Lift and hold the delivery hose

pump, press the On/Off switch

until the pump has primed.

v If the pump does not deliver after approx. 5 minutes,

switch off the pump (press On/Off switch

(see 6. TROUBLESHOOTING).

The specified maximum self-priming suction height of 7 m is reached only

if the pump is filled via the filler neck

doing so and during the self-priming, the delivery hose

ficiently high to prevent any flow medium escaping from the pump via

the delivery hose

4. STORAGE

To put into storage [ Fig. S1 ]:

Before the start of the frost period the Garden Pump should be stored

protected from frost.

1. Open the water drain screw

The Garden Pump drains.

2. Store your Garden Pump so that it is protected from frost.

Flush through Garden Pump:

The pump must be flushed through after discharging chlorinated

swimming pool water.

1. Pump through lukewarm water (max. 35 °C), possibly adding a mild

cleaning agent (e. g. detergent) until the pumped water runs clear.

2. Remove residuals according to the waste disposal laws applicable in

your area.

6. TROUBLESHOOTING

DANGER! Electric shock!

Risk of injury due to electric shock.

v Disconnect Garden Pump from the mains before

troubleshooting.

Free the impeller [ Fig. T1 ]:

An impeller blocked by dirt can be freed again.

v Turn the impeller bolt

using a screwdriver.

This will free the blocked impeller.

Problem

Possible Cause

Leaky or damaged suction

hose.

The pump was not filled with

the liquid to be pumped.

The liquid escapes over the

hose which is connected to

the delivery side during the

suction action.

Absolutely vacuumresistant connection is achieved by using

GARDENA Suction Hoses (see point 7. ACCESSORIES).

Leaky screw fitting

Air cannot escape, since

delivery side is closed or

remaining water is in the

pressure hose.

Too high suction height.

In case of any other difficulties concerning the suction action,

use GARDENA Suction Hoses with Backflow Preventer (see point

Electric failure.

Noise development in the

In the case of strong flows (e.g. open hose end, without

hydraulic area

connect ing device), noise may result in the hydraulic part of

the pump. This is harmless and does not lead to damage

of the pump. The noise can be removed by lightly changing

the flow (e.g. light opening/closing of a connecting device).

Remedy

v Seal connections on suction

side so are airtight.

v Check suction line for dam

age and seal so is airtight.

v Fill the pump

(see 3. OPERATION).

1. Fill the pump again

(see 3. OPERATION).

2. When starting operation hold

the pressure hose approx. 1 m

vertically above the pump,

until the suction action has

taken place.

at the

v Check seal (replace if neces

sary) and tighten connection

securely (do not use pliers).

v Open shutoff valves

(e. g. nozzle) in the delivery

line, empty the delivery hose

or disconnect it from the

pump during priming.

v Switch on the pump and

wait up to 5 min.

v Clean the filter or the back

flow preventer.

v Reduce suction height.

before operation.

v Reduce flow rate on the deli

very side with a control valve,

e.g. GARDENA art. (2)977.

v Clean filter or backflow

preventer.

v Eliminate leak.

v Release impeller.

v Check fuses and electric

connections.

v Ensure sufficient cooling /

ventilation and clean the

impeller chamber.

v Send the pump to one of our

GARDENA Service Centres.
