Correct electrical installation

− Electrical installations must meet the national regulations and may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
− A person is regarded as a qualified electrician, if, due to his/her vocational education, knowledge and experience, he
or she is capable of and authorised to judge and carry out the work commissioned to him/her. Working as a qualified
person also includes the recognition of possible hazards and the adherence to the pertinent regional and national
standards, rules and regulations.
− For your own safety, please consult a qualified electrician.
− The unit may only be connected when the electrical data of the unit and the power supply coincide. The unit data is
to be found on the unit type plate or on the packaging, or in this manual.
− Ensure that the unit is fused for a rated fault current of max. 30 mA by means of a fault current protection device.
− Extension cables and power distributors (e.g. outlet strips) must be suitable for outdoor use.
− Ensure that the power connection cable cross section is not smaller than that of the rubber sheath with the identifi-
cation H05RN-F. Extension cables must meet DIN VDE 0620.
− Protect the plug connections from moisture.
− Only plug the unit into a correctly fitted socket.

Safe operation

− Never operate the unit if either the electrical cables or the housing are defective!
− Do not carry or pull the unit by its electrical cable.
− Route all cables such that damage is excluded and nobody can trip over them.
− Never open the unit housing or its attendant components, unless this is explicitly required in the operating instruc-
tions.
− Only use original spare parts and accessories for the unit.
− Never carry out technical modifications to the unit.
− Only have repairs carried out by customer service points authorised by OASE.
− The power connection cables cannot be replaced. When the cable is damaged, the unit or the component needs to
be disposed of.
− Only operate the unit if no persons are in the water!
− Keep the socket and power plug dry.
Installation
Only use the unit in its horizontal position and ensure stable seating on a firm ground. The unit must be positioned
below the water surface level. The unit can be placed within the pond (submersed) or outside of the pond (dry). Install
the unit so that it is not exposed to direct sun radiation (max. 40 ºC). Please note the installation examples (A and B).
Do not carry or pull the unit using its connection cable. Ensure that the unit will never run without water flowing through!
To fit the suction hose with the unit installed outside of the pond (dry), remove the two strainer cheeks by unscrewing
the screws, then remove the front plate of the strainer. Screw the strainer cheeks back on again after having connected
the suction hose.
For replacement, the support foot (C) can be removed by releasing the locking lever (D) at the underside of the support
foot and pulling it towards the rear. To install the support foot, push the pump body onto the foot until it engages (E).
