2. Safety instructions
The Water Distributor automatic may be
positioned at a maximum of 1.5 m lower than
the highest connected accessory.
The minimum water pressure for secure switch-
ing operation during irrigation is 1 bar.
If too many devices are connected to one line,
the pressure may fall below 1 bar and will be
insufficient for proper operation. To increase
water pressure, we recommend the GARDENA
Tap Connector Art. 2801 / 2817 with ³⁄₄
"
hoses
on the inlet side.
Due to the switch mechanism of the Water
Distributor, there may be drop formation during
further switching at the outlets.
Please note: on completed irrigation, the
higher-lying connecting device empties over
the lowest-placed device.
For water containing sand, a pre-filter must be
used.
The Water Distributor should not be connected
to Pressure Tank Units as these present too
large pressure fluctuations.
Functioning is only guaranteed with Original
GARDENA accessories.
The individual outlets can only be operated
one after the other.
For secure switching function of the Water
Distributor, the minimum water discharge
quantity is 20 l/h. E.g. for control of the
Micro-Drip System, a minimum of 10 two-
litre Drip Heads is required.
The Micro-Drip Master Unit may not be installed
on the inlet side of the Water Distributor.
Danger!
Small parts could be swallowed during
assembly and there is a risk of suffocation
from the polybag. Keep infants away during
assembly.
