3. Initial Operation
Setting up your Garden Pump: The site must be firm and solid in order to ensure safe and sturdy
operating 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 sufficient ventilation in the area of the ventilation slots.
It must be at a distance 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:

1
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. no. 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
1
airtight 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.

on the delivery side.
The pump connection not in use has to be closed by the cap

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
19mm (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.

If more than 2 hoses / accessories are connected simultaneously,
we recommend using the GARDENA 2- or 4-Channel Water

DANGER! Electric shock!
Risk of injury due to electric shock.
v Disconnect from the mains before filling the
Garden Pump.
ATTENTION!
v Before each operation, slowly fill the pump with liquid
to be pumped until it overflows (approx. 2 to 3 l).
1. Open the cap
6
on the filler neck
7
by hand.
2. Fill the pump via the filler cap
7
to overflowing with
approx. 2 to 3 l of the liquid to be pumped.
3. Tighten the cap
6
of the filler cap
7
by hand (do not use pliers).
4. Open any shut-off valves in the delivery line (accessories,
water stop, etc.).
5. Drain remaining water in pressure hose
5
so that air can
escape during the suction process.
6. Switching on pump 4000/5: Lift and hold the delivery hose
5
at least 1 m vertically above the pump, press the On/Off
switch
8
(On/Off switch shines) and wait until the pump has
primed.
v If the pump does not deliver after approx. 5 minutes,
switch off the pump (press On/Off switch
8
)
(see 7. Trouble-Shooting).
6. Switching on pump 5000/5; 6000/6 inox:
Lift and hold the delivery hose

at least
1 m vertically above the pump, insert the
power plug, press the On/Off button

(the LED shines green) and wait until the
pump has primed.
LED
If the pump does not deliver within
approx. 20 seconds, the LED flashes
orange.
If the pump does not deliver: 5000/5
within approx. 5 minutes / 6000/6 inox
within approx. 6 minutes, the LED
shines red and the pump switches off
automatically (see “7. Trouble-
Shooting”).
v If the pump does not automatically
switch off then manually switch
the pump off and check the hose
for leaks.
The specified maximum self-priming suction height of 8 m is
reached only if the pump is filled via the filler neck
7
up to the
overflow and if, while doing so and during the self-priming, the
delivery hose
5
is held up sufficiently high to prevent any flow
medium escaping from the pump via the delivery hose
