General information

Dear Customer,

Please read and comply with these instructions prior to the initial operation of your appliance. Retain these operating instructions for future reference or for subsequent possessors.

Proper use

This appliance has been designed for use in private households and is not intended for commercial use.

The manufacturer is not responsible for any damages that may occur on account of improper use or wrong operations.

The appliance is mainly intended for the use within the house and garden.

The house & garden pumps switch on and off automatically in case of water demand. Thus, they are suitable for both the use in the garden and applications inside the house. They can be perfectly used to supply washing machines or toilet flushing mechanisms inside the house with water, e.g. in combination with a cistern. Moreover, the constant operating pressure of the pumps also ensures reliable garden irrigation.

Caution

When using the pump for pressure amplification, the maximum admissible internal pressure of 6 bar (on the delivery side) must not be exceeded. The inlet pressure to be increased and the pump pressure add up.

Example:

Pressure at the tap = 1 bar and the max pressure of the BP 3 Home & Garden = 4.0 bar amount to a total pressure of 5.0 bar.

Approved fluids that can be drained:

Used water
Well water
Water source
Rain water
Water from swimming pool (provided the dosing of additives is proper)

Warning

Caustic, slightly inflammable and other explosive substances such as petrol, petroleum, diluted nitrogen, greases, oils, salt water and waste water from toilets as well as sludgy water that has a slower flow capacity than water, should not be transported using the pump. The temperature of the delivered liquid must not exceed 35^ .

The appliance is not suitable for a continuous pump operation (e.g. lifting device, fountain pump).

Prerequisites for the appliance's stability

Caution

Create stability for the appliance prior to any work on or with the appliance to prevent accidents or damage.

The stability of the appliance is warranted when it is placed onto an even surface.

Operation

Settings

With the ON/OFF switch the following three operating conditions can be switched:

ON	Switch position I/On Continuous operation
OFF	Switch position 0/Off Off
AUTO	Switch position Auto Automatic mode

System operation

In the automatic mode the house & garden pumps automatically maintain the pressure in the system. If the pressure falls below approx. 0.13 MPa (1.3 bar), the pump is started. The pump is running as long as the flow rate

is approx. 60l / h . If the withdrawal of water is completed, the pump goes into the stand-by mode after a short stopping time. The system is now under pressure. In case of water withdrawal and the resulting loss of pressure the pump starts again.

The ec!logic models do not consume energy in the stand-by mode (input power = 0W

Preparing the Appliance

Illustration A

Screw the connection adapter in the suction connection of the pump (inlet). Tighten manually.
Connect the vacuum-proof suction hose.

Note

In order to reduce the time required for suction to start again, use a suction hose that is equipped with a backflow stop. This prevents the emptying of the suction hose after use (see accessories).

If sandy water is to be delivered, we strongly recommend the use of an additional prefilter (see optional accessories). Please install this filter on the suction side of the pump, between the suction hose and the pump.

Please use original Karcher suction pipes, filter components and hose connections. When using components of other manufacturers, malfunctions during drawing in the delivery fluid may arise, especially when using bayonet connection systems. Illustration

Screw the connection adapter in the delivery connection of the pump (outlet). Tighten manually.

Connect delivery line.

A garden hose with a minimum length of 5m at a diameter of 3 / 4'' or 15m at a diameter of 1 / 2'' is recommended.

Illustration C

The 2-way adapter allows the simultaneous operation of two appliances (e.g. washing machine or sprinkler). It can be mounted in a way that either both outlets are used at the side or one outlet at the side and one outlet at the top. If only one outlet is used, the outlet that is not required can be closed by means of the accompanying closing cap.

Illustration D

Unscrew the lid of the filler neck and fill in water up to the brim.
→ Manually screw the lid all the way to the stop on the filler neck.
Open existing shutoff valves in the pressure pipe.

Permanent installation

With a permanent installation the pump can be screwed onto a suitable surface.

Illustration E

Pull out and turn the rubber feet on both sides of the casing.
Reinsert the rubber feed into the casing.
Use suitable screws to screw it onto a level surface.

In case of a permanent installation the installation of a flexible component such as a flexible pressure compensating hose (see optional accessories) on the pressure side is recommended. This has the following benefits:

More flexibility during set-up and installation.
- Noise reduction, since no vibrations are transferred to pipes.
In case of small leaks, the pump does not switch as often.

Note

To facilitate subsequent emptying and pressure release of the system, we recommend the installation of a stop-cock between pump and pressure line.

(not included in delivery)

By closing the shut-off valve when emptying the pump you can prevent water from escaping from the pressure line.

Operation

Insert the mains plug into the socket.
Switch on the appliance using the ON/OFF switch.
Optimum convenience with operation in the automatic mode.

Illustration F

In order to reduce the suction time, lift the delivery hose approx. 1m.
Wait till the pump sucks in and transports water uniformly

Note

The ON/OFF switch can also be conveniently operated with your foot.

Caution

Dry running damages the pump.
Do not leave the pump unattended during operation.

Note

In the automatic mode the pump switches off at a flow rate of < 60~l/h .

Caution

Lacking water supply is recognised by the appliance. If no water is drawn and delivered within 4 minutes during start-up in the manual mode or within 1 minute in the automatic mode, the pump shuts off. The LED "Error on the suction side" is illuminated on the display.

Finish operation

Switch off the appliance using the On/Off switch.
Disconnect the main plug from the socket.

Maintenance and Care

Danger

Turn off the appliance and remove the mains plug prior to any care and maintenance works.

Care

Open the connected shutoff valves to relief pressure and reclose them. The system is free of pressure.

Rinse the pump after every use if you use to transport water with additives.

Check pre-filter regularly for dirt. If it is visibly dirty, proceed as follows:

Illustration 6

Unscrew the lid of the filling nozzle.
Remove the pre-filter and the built in backflow valve and clean them under flowing water.

Illustration H

When inserting the pre-filter (with check valve) in the filler neck, mind the correct installation position (notch).

Maintenance

The appliance is maintenance free.

Transport

Caution

In order to prevent accidents or injuries, mind the weight of the appliance during transport (see technical data).
