Gardena 6000 SP - Manual (Page 3)

Operating instructions:
➜ Before operating the pump look to see if
there is any damage to the pump (especially
to the power cable and plug).
➜ Clear the outlet line before use. Avoid
running the pump with the outlet side
closed off for more than 10 minutes.
against closed delivery side of the pump.
➜ Observe the minimum water level and the
max. delivery height (see 8. Technical
Data).
A damaged pump must not be used.
➜ In case of damage, please have the pump
checked by our GARDENA Service Centre.
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.
➜ Observe the pump at all times during
manual operation.
Take care that the pump is located where
the inlet openings at the suction base are not
obstructed neither completely nor partly.
Stand the pump on a brick if using in a pond.
Safety instructions:
Thermal motor protector:
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
7. Troubleshooting).
Automatic Air bleed valve:
The automatic air bleed valve eliminates any
air pockets in the pump. During this process,
air escapes through the vent bores and air
bubbles appear underwater. This is not a
defect of your pump, but serves to deaerate
the pump, but serves to remove air from the
pump.
It may take several
seconds for the air to
escape when the pump
is immersed for the first
time.
Electrical safety:
DANGER ! Electric shock !
The pump must not be operated if there are
people in the swimming pool or garden pond.
➜ Ensure that the electrical plug and socket
connections are fitted in an area which
cannot flood.
➜ Protect power plug from moisture.
According to DIN VDE (German Electrical
Engineers’ Association) 0620, mains power
cables must not have a smaller cross-section
than the rubber-sheathed cables of the
designation H05 RNF. The cable length must
be at least 10 m.
Data indicated on the type plate must match
technical data of the mains supply.
According to DIN VDE 0100, pumps may only
be operated in swimming pools, garden ponds
and wells via a fault current circuit breaker with
a nominal fault current of
ͨ 30 mA.
Swimming pools and garden ponds should be
designed according to international and natio-
nal design regulations.
For safety reasons we recommend that the
pump is always operated by a residual
-current device (DIN VDE 0100-702 and
0100-738).
➜ If in doubt please consult a qualified
electrician.
Protect plug and power cable from heat, oil
and sharp edges.
The connection cable of the pump cannot be
replaced. If the cable is damaged the pump
must be scrapped.
➜ Do not pull out the power cable from the
socket as a method of turning the pump off.
The power cable or the float switch must not
be used for mounting or relocating the pump.
For submerging or lifting/securing the pump,
fix a rope to the pump’s carrying handle.
In Austria, according to ÖVE B/EN 60 555
parts 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.
