seal of the pump adapter on
the delivery side is tight.
.The pump fitting is equipped
with a 33.3 mm (G1) thread
which allows hose connection
of 13 mm (1/2”), 19 mm (3/4”)
and 16 mm (5/8”) hoses by
means of the GARDENA hose
connection system fittings.
.For optimum output of the
pump, connect 19 mm (3/4”)
hoses with GARDENA Profi
System fittings (e.g. Art. No.
1752) or 25 mm (1”) hoses
with GARDENA brass connec-
tion fittings (e.g. Art. No. 7142).
4.3 Engine
.Check the fuel level. The
engine is designed to burn
lead-free (premium) petrol
(oil-mix).The mixing ratio for
lead-free petrol is 33:1
(33 parts petrol, 1 part oil).
The petrol tank holds 0.7 l.
.Always use a fresh petrol-oil
mix.
.Check the air filter insert.
Loosen the clamp
I
to remove
the air filter lid

ature is too high move the
choke lever to position A.
3. Push the throttle lever
D
down a little.
4. Pull the starter handle

lightly until you feel resistance.
Then pull the starter handle
swiftly as far as the red mark-
ing on the wire. Avoid snap-
ping back of the starter grip
by guiding it slowly back with
your hand.Thus, the starter
will not be damaged.
5.2 Operation

5.4 Running-in Period
During the first 20 operating hours
the engine should be operated at
max. 2/3 of the full speed. During
this running-in period full speed
operation is only permissible for
a short time (max.10 min).
5. Putting into Operation
A
.Keep combustible sub-
stances and other objects
(e.g. petrol) away from the
pump.
.Refuel in a well ventilated
area.Take care that the
pump is stopped. Remember
that petrol is flammable and,
under certain conditions,
explosive.
.Don’t overfill the tank. Make
sure that the fuel filler cap
0
is closed securely. If petrol
has spilt, wipe it away thor-
oughly before starting the
engine.
.Neither smoke nor allow
flames or sparks when re-
fuelling or where gasoline
is stored.
.Exhaust gas contain poiso-
nous carbon monoxide.
Avoid inhalation of exhaust
gas.
Never operate the pump in
closed rooms.
.Operate the pump on even
floor. If the engine tips,
petrol may drain off.
.Do not place any objects on
the engine. It could cause
fire hazards.
.Children under the age of 16
are not allowed to operate
the pump. Keep them away
from the connected unit.
6. Safety Hints on Operation
A
.Dry-running operation
causes increased wear
and is to be avoided.There-
fore, the pump must be
stopped immediately when
water fails to flow.
.Avoid running the pump
for more than max. 5 min
against closed delivery
side
2
.
.Sand and other abrasive
material in the liquid cause
increased wear and reduce
the pump’s output.
.The pump is not designed
for continuous operation
(e.g. industrial application,
continuous circulating oper-
ation).
.The min. flow rate is 80 l/h
(= 1.3 l/min). Accessories
with lower rate must not
be operated.
