1. Applications Range of Your GARDENA Pump
GARDENA Pumps have been designed for private use around
your house and garden. They are predominantly destinated for
drainage after flooding, transfer of liquids, draining containers, tak-
ing water from wells and shafts, draining boats and yachts as well
as for water aeration and circulation for a limited period of time.
Liquids which can be handled by the GARDENA Pump are the fol-
lowing: clean and contaminated water (max. particle size 10000 SL
Inox = 5 mm / 18000 SP Inox = 38 mm), swimming pool water
(prerequisite is the recommended dosage of additives) and soapy
water.
The pumps are fully submersible (waterproof sealed) and can be
immersed in the liquid down to a depth of 9 m.
The GARDENA Pumps are not designed for continuous
operation (e.g. continuous circulating operation) in a pond.
Your pump’s life will be shortened correspondingly by such
operation.
Corrosive, easily combustible or explosive substances
(e.g. gasoline, petroleum, nitro thinner), fats, oils, salt-water
and waste water of toilets and urinals must not be pumped.
The temperature of the liquid handled should not exceed
35 °C.

2. For Your Safety
According to DIN VDE (German Electrical Engineers’ Associa-
tion) 0100, submersible pumps and dirty water pumps may only
be used in swimming pools, garden ponds, and fountains if the
pump is operated via a residual-current device 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.
For safety reasons we recommend that you always operate
the pump via a residual-current device (DIN VDE 0100-702
and 0100-738).
vPlease contact your electrician.
In Austria, according to ÖVE B/EN 60 555 part 1 to 3, pumps
which are used in swimming pools and garden ponds, and
equipped with firm power cable should be fed via an ÖVE
approved isolating transformer – rated voltage must not exceed
230 V.
In Switzerland mobile appliances which are used outdoors,
must be connected via a residual-current device.
According to DIN VDE (German Electrical Engineers’ Associa-
tion) 0620, mains power cables must not have a smaller cross-
section than the rubber-sheathed cables of the designation
H05 RNF (model 10000 SL Inox) or H07 RNF (model 18000 SP
Inox). The cable length must be at least 10 m.
Data indicated on the type plate must match technical data of
the mains supply.
vTake care that the electrical connections are made within
dry area, protected from flooding.
Protect plug and power cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.
vDon’t use the power cable for plugging off.
The power cable or the float switch must not be used for mount-
ing or relocating the pump. For submerging or lifting/securing
the pump, fix a rope to the pump’s carrying handle.
Extension cables must meet the requirements of DIN VDE 0620.
vBefore operating the pump, first make a visual check, if there
is any damage of the pump (esp. regarding power cable and
plug).
vObserve the minimum water level and the max. delivery
height (see 8. Technical Data).
A damaged pump must not be used.
vIn case of damage, please have the pump checked by our
GARDENA Service Centre.
During manual operation, the pump must be switched off as
soon as all the liquid has been pumped away.
vObserve the pump at all times during manual operation.
Dry-running operation causes increased wear and is to be
avoided. Therefore, in manual operation the pump must be
immediately unplugged when water fails to flow.
Avoid running of the pump for more than 10 min. against closed
delivery side of the pump.

Notes on use

GB
Sand and other abrasive substances cause increased wear and
reduce the pump’s output.
Take care that the pump is located where the inlet openings at
the suction base are obstructed neither completely nor partly.
Stand the pump on a brick if using in a pond.
When you purchase your pump the swivel feet are set to the
flat suction position (1 mm).
vFor normal operation, turn the feet 180° to 5 mm.
The pump is lifted 5 mm.
vClear the outlet line before use.
The pump is automatically switched off on overheating by
the built-in thermal motor protector. After having cooled down,
the motor automatically switches on again (see 6. Trouble
Shooting).
The automatic deaerating valve eliminates any air pockets in
the pump. Air escapes by the vent bores 4and air bubbles
form under water. This is not a defect of your pump, but serves
to deaerate the pump.
It may take several seconds for the air to escape when the
pump is immersed for the first time.

Best results in delivery capacity are achieved when using 38 mm
(1 1/2”) hoses.
Best results in delivery capacity are achieved when using 50 mm
(2”) hoses.
The universal fitting 7allows you to connect all the hoses listed
in the previous table.
1. Cut off nipples of the universal fitting 7, which are not needed,
to match the hose connection.
2. Screw the universal fitting 7onto the pump.
3. Connect the hose to the universal fitting 7.
We recommend that you secure 50 mm (2”) and 38 mm (1 1/2”)
hoses additionally with a GARDENA Hose Clip Art. No. 7195
(for 50 mm) and Art. No. 7194 (for 38 mm).
Only for 10000 SL Inox:
For flat suction we recommend using a 13 mm (1/2”) or 15 mm
(5/8”) hose.
Only for 13 mm (1/2”) hose:
The universal fitting 7can also be equipped with a GARDENA
Regulator Valve Art. No. 977 so that the contents of the out-
let line do not flow back through the pump after pumping. The
Regulator Valve can be ordered from your GARDENA dealer.
4. Operation
The float switch 5turns the pump on automatically when the
water level exceeds the cut-in height and the water is pumped out.
The float switch 5turns the pump off again as soon as the water
level falls below the cut-out height.
1. Stand the pump on a firm surface
– or –
use a rope attached through the bore hole in the carrying
handle 2to immerse the pump in a well or shaft.
During automatic operation, ensure that the float switch

can move freely.

Adjusting the Cut-in and Cut-out Height:
The maximum cut-in height and minimum cut-out height (see
8. Technical Data) can be adjusted.
vPress the cable of the float switch 5into an opening in the float
switch lock 3.
Do not select a cable length that is too long or short to ensure
that the float switch can turn on and off properly.
•The higher the opening of the float switch lock 3, the higher
the cut-in and cut-out height.
•The shorter the length of cable between the float switch 5
and the float switch lock 3, the lower the cut-in height and the
higher the cut-out height.
The cable length between the float switch 5and the float switch
lock 3must always be at least 10 cm.
The pump remains in constant operation because the float switch
is bypassed.
1. Push the float switch 5onto the float switch lock 3with the
cable downward.
2. Stand the pump on a firm surface
– or –
use a rope attached through the bore hole in the carrying
handle 2to immerse the pump in a well or shaft.
3. Plug the power cable 1into a mains socket.
The residual water height (approx. 1 mm for 10000 SL Inox /
40 mm for 18000 SP Inox) is only reached during manual opera-
tion since the float switch turns off the pump during automatic
operation before this water level is reached.
VIf the water height is lower than 3.5 cm, fill the pump
