Oase AquaMax Eco Gravity Serie Instrucciones De Uso página 9

Intended use
Only use the product described in this manual as follows:
• As a downstream gravitation filter pump to be used in gravity operated filter systems.
• For pumping normal pond water for filter systems, waterfall systems and water course systems.
• While adhering to the technical specifications.
• Adherence to the permissible water quality.
The following restrictions apply to the unit:
• Do not use in swimming ponds.
• Never use the unit with fluids other than water.
• Never run the unit without water.
• Do not use in conjunction with chemicals, foodstuff, easily flammable or explosive substances.
• Do not connect to the domestic water supply.
Assembly
Only use the unit in its horizontal position and ensure stable seating on a firm ground downstream of the filter unit,
seen in flow direction. Fastening of the unit to the ground can be facilitated by removing the unit foot towards the rear
by unlocking the engagement lever on the underside of the unit foot (C). For installation, slide the unit body on the unit
foot until it engages.
The unit can be installed submersed (A = filter module) or dry (B = pump chamber). Always position the unit below the
water line to prevent dry running and the intake of air when switching on and operating the unit. Never connect the unit
to a water line. Use the enclosed adapter set to ease tube (6) or hose (7) installation. When fitting the tube, ensure
that the unit is installed without any tension.
Submerged installation (A)
At the pressure socket (2), connect the line returning the water into the pond. When submerged, insert the unit into the
filter module. Ensure that the unit never runs without water flowing through! Maximum installation depth: 4 metres.
Dry installation (B)
Disconnect the power supply first, then secure the unit to prevent unintentional switching on. Remove the contact pro-
tection (3) by turning it counter-clockwise. Do not reach into the pump opening (1). If necessary, fasten the suction
hose using the adapter set provided for tube (6) or hose (7) installation. Connect the suction hose to the suction socket
(1).
Install the unit so that it is not exposed to direct sun radiation (max. 40 ºC).
