Intended Use; Installation - Oase PondoVac 3 Gebrauchsanleitung

Intended use

PondoVac 3 , in the following text termed unit, is restricted to draw out pond sludge or as a wet -vacuum cleaner. This
also applies to all other components being part of our scope of delivery. The attendant filter is only suitable for fluids.
Taking in of dust or dirt will lead to its destruction.
The unit is only intended for private domestic use, not for commercial purposes or rental.
Never use the unit to collect flammable or toxic substances
• (e.g. benzene, asbestos, asbestos dust, copier toner),
• volatile substances,
• acids,
• hot or glowing ash,
• dust, sand or similar dirt.

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).
