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).
For any other malfunctions please contact the GARDENA service department.
Repairs must only be carried out by GARDENA service departments or specialist
dealers authorised by GARDENA.
