Visual check
vBefore 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.
vIn case of damage, please have the pump checked by our GARDENA Service
Centre or by an authorised electrician.
vIf the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer,
its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Note
vProtect 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.
vBefore 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 in-creased wear and
reduce the pump’s output.
vUse a pump preliminary filter for pumping sandy liquids.
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 90 l/h (= 1.5 l/min.). Watering accessories with lower
rate must not be operated.
DANGER! This product makes an electromagnetic field while it operates. This
field may under some conditions interfere with active or passive medical implants.
To decrease the risk of conditions that can possibly injure or kill, we recommend
persons with medical implants to speak with their physician and the medical
implant manufacturer before you operate the product.
DANGER! Small parts can be easily swallowed. There is also a risk that the poly-
bag can suffocate toddlers. Keep toddlers away when you assemble the product.
IMPORTANT!
Read the operator’s manual carefully before use and keep for future
reference.
DANGER! Electric shock!
Risk of injury due to electric shock.
vAlways unplug your Garden Pump before filling, after operation, when trouble-
shooting and before carrying out any maintenance work.
RISK OF INJURY!
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.
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.
vDisconnect 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
DANGER!
Risk of injury due to electric shock.
The product must be supplied through a residual current device (RCD) having
a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA.
The pump must not be used when people are in water. 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.
vPlease 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 drinking water
quality being drawn back in.
vPlease consult a specialist for sanitary installations.
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 sym-
bols H07RN-F.
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 iso-
lating transformer.
vPlease ask your electrician.
1. SAFETY
2. INITIAL OPERATION
Setting up your Garden Pump:
The site must be firm and solid in order to ensure safe and sturdy operat-
ing conditions for the pump.
v Position the pump at a safe distance (min. 2 m) from the liquid to be
pumped.
The pump must be installed in a location with low air humidity and suf-
ficient ventilation in the area of the ventilation slots. It must be at a dis-
tance of at least 5 cm from the walls. No dirtcontamination (e.g. sand or
earth) may be sucked in through theventilation slots.
Connecting hose to suction side [
Fig. I1 ]:
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. 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.
1. Screw a vacuum-resistant suction hose 1airtight onto the connector
on the suction side of the pump 2.
2. For suction heights exceeding 4 m also secure the suction hose 1
(e.g. by fastening it to a wooden post).
This relieves the pump of the weight of the suction hose.
Connecting hose to delivery side [Fig. I2]:
The 3500/4 pump has 2 connections 3/ß
3a
on the delivery side. The pump
connection not in use has to be closed by the cap 4, which can be
unscrewed for connecting 2 hoses.
The pump connections 3/ß
3a
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 5to the connector on the delivery
side 3/ß
3a
.
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
16 is not recommended. Never operate the prod-
uct when you are tired, ill or under the influence of
alcohol, drugs or medicine.
Intended use:
The GARDENA Garden Pump is designed for domestic use around the
house and garden.
When the pump is used for pressure boosting, the maximum permis-
sible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 = 2.4 bar,
maximum pressure of the Garden Pump 3000/4 = 3.6 bar,
total pressure = 6.0 bar.
Liquids that can be pumped:
The GARDENA Garden Pump can be used for pumping ground water and
rain water, tap water and water containing chlorine.
CAUTION! The GARDENA Garden Pump is not suitable for con-
tinuous operation (e.g. industrial applications, continuous circu-
lating 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.

DANGER! Electric shock!
Risk of injury due to electric shock.
v Disconnect from the mains before filling the Garden Pump.
CAUTION! Dry-Running
vBefore each operation, fill the pump to overflowing with
approx. 2 to 3 l of the liquid to be pumped!
1. Unscrew the screw fitting 6of the filler cap 7by hand.
2. Fill the pump via the filler cap 7to overflowing with approx. 2 to 3 l of
the liquid to be pumped.
3. Tighten the screw fitting 6of the filler cap 7by hand (do not use
pliers).
4. Open any shut-off valves in the delivery line (accessories, water stop, etc.).
5. Drain remaining water 5in pressure hose so that air can escape during
the suction process.
6. Insert the power plug.
7. Lift and hold the delivery hose 5at least 1 m vertically above the
pump, press the On/Off switch 8(On/Off switch shines) and wait
until the pump has primed.
vIf the pump does not deliver after approx. 5 minutes,
switch off the pump (press On/Off switch 8)
(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 7up to the overflow and if, while
doing so and during the self-priming, the delivery hose 5is held up suf-
ficiently high to prevent any flow medium escaping from the pump via
the delivery hose 5.
4. STORAGE

An impeller blocked by dirt can be freed again.
v Turn the impeller bolt 0using a screwdriver.
This will free the blocked impeller.
Problem Possible Cause Remedy
Pump runs, but the suction
action doesn’t take place Pump sucks in air at a joint. vSeal connections on suction
side so are airtight.
Leaky or damaged suction
hose.
vCheck suction line for dam-
age and seal so is airtight.
The pump was not filled with
the liquid to be pumped.
vFill the pump
(see 3. OPERATION).
The liquid escapes over the
hose which is connected to
the delivery side during the
suction action.
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.
Absolutely vacuum-resistant connection is achieved by using
GARDENA Suction Hoses (see point 7. ACCESSORIES).
Leaky screw fitting 6at the
filler cap 7.
vCheck seal (replace if neces-
sary) and tighten connection
securely (do not use pliers).
Air cannot escape, since
delivery side is closed or
remaining water is in the
pressure hose.
vOpen shut-off valves
(e. g. nozzle) in the delivery
line, empty the delivery hose
or disconnect it from the
pump during priming.
The waiting time wasn’t
observed.
vSwitch on the pump and
wait up to 5 min.
Suction filter or backflow
preventer in the suction hose
clogged.
vClean the filter or the back
flow preventer.
Too high suction height. vReduce suction height.
In case of any other difficulties concerning the suction action,
use GARDENA Suction Hoses with Backflow Preventer (see point
7. ACCESSORIES) and fill in the liquid to be pumped over the
filler cap 7before operation.
Pump motor runs,
but delivery capacity
or pressure suddenly
decreases
Suction filter at the suction
hose is sucked free.
vReduce flow rate on the deli-
very side with a control valve,
e.g. GARDENA art. (2)977.
Suction filter or backflow
preventer clogged.
vClean filter or back-flow
preventer.
Leaks at suction side. vEliminate leak.
Impeller blocked. v
Release impeller.
Pump motor doesn’t start
or suddenly stops No power. vCheck fuses and electric connections.
Circuit breaker has switched
off the motor due to over-
heating/ overload.
vEnsure sufficient cooling/
ventilation and clean the
impeller chamber.
Electric failure. v Send the pump to one of our
GARDENA Service Centres.
Noise development in the
hydraulic area In the case of strong flows (e.g. open hose end, without 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).
NOTE: For any other malfunctions please contact the GARDENA service depart-
ment. Repairs must only be done by GARDENA service departments or specialist
dealers approved by GARDENA.
