v Disconnect the product from the mains before you connect,
adjust or transport the product.
To pump water [ Fig. O1 / O2 ]:
CAUTION! Dry-Running of the pump!
v Fill the pump with water up to the overflow (approx. 2 to 5 l)
before each start-up.
1. Unscrew the screw fitting
2. Fill the pump via the filler neck
approx. 2 to 5 l of water.
3. Tighten the screw fitting (6)
(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
during the suction process.
6. Connect the pump to the mains.
7. Lift and hold the delivery hose
press the On / Off switch (8)
v If the pump does not deliver water after approx. 5 minutes,
switch off the pump (press On / Off switch
(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
doing so and during the self-priming, the delivery hose
ficiently high to prevent any water escaping from the pump via the delivery

hose .
Rust formation: The pump Art. 9014 has a cast iron housing. After con-
tact with water, rust will form (this does not damage the pump and is not
covered by the warranty). Therefore rusting water may initially escape after
switching on the pump.
4. MAINTENANCE
DANGER! Risk of injury!
Injury when the product starts accidentally.
v Disconnect the product from the mains before you maintain
the product.
To flush the pump:
After pumping chlorinated water, the pump must be flushed.
1. Pump lukewarm water (max. 35 °C), possibly adding a mild cleaning
agent (e. g. detergent) until the pumped water runs clear.
2. Remove residuals according to the waste disposal laws applicable in
your area.
5. STORAGE
To put into storage [ Fig. S1 ]:
The pump is not frost-proof!
The product must be stored away from children.
1. Disconnect the pump from the mains.
2. If applicable, close all the shut-off devices on the intake side.
3. Open all the tapping points.
The pressure side is depressurized.
4. Open the screw fitting (6)

screw .
The Garden Pump drains.

6. TROUBLESHOOTING
DANGER! Risk of injury!
Injury when the product starts accidentally.
v Disconnect the product from the mains before you trouble-
shoot the product.
To loosen the impeller [ Fig. T1 ]:
An impeller blocked by dirt can be freed again.
v Turn shaft of the impeller (10) with a screwdriver.
This will loosen the stuck impeller.
Problem Possible Cause
Pump is running, but the
Leaky or damaged suction
suction action doesn't take hose.
place
The pump was not filled with
water.
The liquid escapes over the
hose which is connected to
the delivery side during the
suction action.
Absolutely vacuum­resistant connection is achieved by using
GARDENA Suction Hoses (see 8. ACCESSORIES).
Leaky screw fitting at the filler
neck.
Air cannot escape, since
delivery side is closed or
remaining water is in the
pressure hose.
The waiting time wasn't
observed.
Suction filter or backflow
preventer in the suction hose
clogged.
Too high suction height.
In case of any other difficulties concerning the suction action,
use GARDENA Suction Hoses with Backflow Preventer
(see 8. ACCESSORIES) and fill in the liquid to be pumped
over the filler neck before operation.
Pump does not start, Thermal switch has turned
or stops suddenly during the pump off because of over­
operation heating.
No power supply to the pump.
RCD has triggered
(residual current).
Pump is not switched on.
Pump is running but the
Suction hose end is not
delivery drops suddenly
in water.
Suction filter or backflow
preventer clogged.
Leaks at suction side.
Impeller blocked.
Noise development in the In the case of strong flows (e.g. open hose end, without connec­
hydraulic area
ting 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
department. Repairs must only be done by GARDENA service departments
or specialist dealers approved by GARDENA.
Remedy
v Check suction line for
damage and seal so is
airtight.
v Fill the pump
(see 3. OPERATION).
v 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.
v Check seal (replace if neces­
sary) and tighten connection
securely (do not use pliers).
v Open shut­off valves
(e g. nozzle) in the delivery
line, empty the delivery hose
or disconnect it from the
pump during priming.
v Switch on the pump and wait
up to 5 min.
v Clean the filter or the back
flow preventer.
v Reduce suction height.
v Observe the max. media
temperature (35 °C).
v Check fuses and electrical
plug connections.
v Disconnect the pump
and contact the GARDENA
Service.
v Push the On / Off switch
to On.
v Submerge the end of the suc­
tion hose deeper in the water.
v Clean the suction filter or
back­flow preventer.
v Eliminate leak.
v Release impeller.
