Installation
Place the unit at a height meeting the water level at a minimum distance of 6.6 ft. (2 m) from the pond. Ensure that the
unit stands safely. Unlock the container locking system (1), remove motor housing (2). Remove all loose parts from the
collection container (3). Refit and lock motor housing (2). Push the hose end into the opening (4) of the collection
container. Fit the extension tubes. Fit one of the supplied nozzles or set the adjustable bottom nozzle to the situation
your pond presents:
− Nozzle fully open 0.4 in. (10 mm): Pond foil, no gravel on the bottom, thick layer of sludge
− Nozzle closed 0.1 in. (2 mm): Pond film, gravel on the bottom, thick layer of sludge
Push the open end of the drain hose into the rear drain opening (5) of the collection container. If possible, lay the drain
hose on the bottom such to allow gravity draining of the sludge water during automatic emptying.
Use as sludge remover
Attention! Never operate the unit without foam filter!
Connect the unit to the power supply and turn it on with the switch (A6). Lead the bottom nozzle to the pond bottom.
Remove the sludge by moving the nozzle slowly and uniformly. For optimum sludge removal from pond trays and to
remove thin layers of sludge, turn the bottom nozzle through 180°. A float switch (B1) switches off the suction operation
when the container has reached its maximum filling level. The stop valve at the drain opening can now open to drain
the sludge water out of the container. The suction operation restarts automatically after 25 seconds. Switch the unit off
with switch (A6) when no longer in use.
Use as a dry vacuum cleaner
Attention! Only use the unit as a dry vacuum cleaner with the enclosed filter bag!
Ensure that the unit stands safely. Switch the unit off with the switch and pull the power plug. Unlock the container
locking system (A1), remove motor housing (A2). Pull the enclosed filter bag (C1) over the suction socket (C2) inside
the container (A3). Refit and lock motor housing. Connect the unit to the power supply and turn it on with the switch.
Select a suitable nozzle. At end of work, switch the unit off at the switch.

Maintenance and cleaning

Switch the unit off with the switch and pull the power plug. Remove all hoses and the motor housing. Thoroughly rinse
the collection container. Remove the foam filter (D1) and clean it with clear water. Check the foam filter and, if dama-
ged, replace it by an original OASE foam filter. Check sealing rings for damage and completeness. If necessary,
change the rubber seal in the drain valve. Only use original OASE filter bags.
