Safe Operation; Installation - Oase PondoVac 3 Gebrauchsanleitung

− A unit ready to be plugged in may only be connected to a properly installed outlet.
− Extension cables and power distributors (e.g. outlet strips) must be suitable for outdoor use.

Safe operation

− Do not operate or leave the unit in the rain.
− Minimum safety distance between the unit and the water: 2 m.
− Only operate the unit if no persons are in the water!
− 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.

Installation

Preparation (Fig. C, D, E):
− Fit the wheels (11) on the housing.
− Bring the transport brace (12) into the desired position. For this purpose, loosen and retighten the hand screw (13).
− Fit the intake distributor (4) into the inlet (14) by performing a plug-turn movement (bayonet closure).
− Connect the suction hose (2) to the intake distributor (4).
− Fit the extension tube (Fig. A, 6, 7) at the hand-held nozzle of the tube (2). The transparent tube (6) allows a flow
control to be able to detect blockages earlier.
− Slide on the tool (9) appropriate for the task.
Note: The higher the number of tubes used, the higher the tube frictional resistance. This leads to a reduction of the
suction capacity.
Operation as a sludge suction unit (Fig. B, E)
Note: When the unit is used as a sludge suction unit, the waste water is directly drained through the drain
hose (Fig. B, 3). The water is not collected in the container.
How to proceed:
− Place the unit at a minimum distance of 2 m from the water.
− Route the drain hose (3) with a slight gravity: Places the unit slightly higher. Ensure a safe and stable position.
Ensure that the drain opening (15) is above the water level.
− Plug the drain hose (3) into the drain opening (15) of the collection container.
− Ensure that the hose lies straight: Avoid kinks or bends caused by unevenness of the ground. Allow unrestricted
draining of the water, which has to be disposed of in accordance with the local conditions.
Note: When you pull the dirt catcher bag (Fig. A, 8) over the free end of the drain hose (3), you can return the water,
then free from coarse particles, such as dead leaves or algae, into the pond. As an alternative, the removed pond
sludge can be used as plant fertiliser. In this case, lay the drain hose directly on a plant bed. Otherwise dispose of in
accordance with the local conditions.
Use as a wet vacuum cleaner
Note: When using the unit as a wet vacuum cleaner, the waste water is collected in the container. A maximum of 10 l
of fluid can be taken in.
How to proceed:
− Place the unit at a minimum distance of 2 m from the water (Fig. B).
− Seal the drain opening (15) of the collection container by means of the plug (Fig. C, 5).
