Connection of a satellite filter or skimmer.

The flow rate at inlet 2 and with it the flow ratio of inlet 1 to inlet 2 is adjustable. To do so, re- lease the locking mechanism and push the connection to one of the following positions: − Position 0: Inlet 2 is closed, water flow only via inlet 1. − Position 1/2/3: Inlet 2 is open by approx. 25/50/75 %; meaning water flow via inlet 1 and 2 ac- cording to set intake ratio.

Position 4: Inlet 1 is closed, water flow only via inlet 2.

Connection of the return line into the pond (e.g. via a water course).

Hose sleeve for outlet (recommendation).

Stepped hose adapter for inlet 2 and outlet (alternative).

Cover cap for closing inlet 2 when it is not in use.

Hose clips for fastening hoses on the hose sleeves.

Rubber feet for pump holder for dry installation.24 Symbols on the unit

The unit is dust -tight and water-tight down to 4 m.

Possible danger for persons with pacemakers.

Protect the unit from direct sunlight.

Do not dispose of the unit with normal household waste.

Read the operating instructions.

• Variant (a): Water flow only via the filter housing (inlet 1). – Set inlet 2 to position "0". – Close inlet 2 using the cover cap.

• Variant (b): Water flow via the filter housing (inlet 1) and additionally via a satellite filter or a skimmer on inlet 2. – Set inlet 2 to position "1", "2" or "3", depending on the desired flow ratio (25/50/75 %).

• Variant (c): Water flow only via a satellite filter or a skimmer on inlet 2. – Set inlet 2 to position "4".

• Variant (d): Dry pump installation. – This variant requires the pump to be installed without a filter housing. – The pump is installed outside of the pond but lower than the water level.EN

With the SFC function activated, the pump automatically optimises and reduces the amount of water and the delivery head by up to 50%. Thanks to the SFC function the pump adapts to the individual pond ecology throughout the year and supports the pond biology through tempera- ture-dependent circulation (winter mode, transition mode and summer mode). The SFC function is switched on and off at the pump. The SFC function reduces the power con- sumption of the pump; without SFC, the pump permanently operates at maximum throughput. The seasonal flow control does not function when the pump is installed on land (dry installation). If a skimmer, satellite filter or Oase InScenio control unit is used, we recommend deactivating the SFC depending on the unit.26 Installation and connection The pump can be installed submerged (in water) or dry (outside the water). The use of the pump is only permitted with observance of the specified water quality. (→ Permissible water quality)

WARNING Severe injuries or death due to operation of this unit in a swimming pond. Defective electrical components will electrify the water with dangerous electrical voltage. Never operate the unit in a swimming pond.

CAUTION Rotating components in the intake and pressure socket area. Risk of injury when reaching into the sockets. In particular, observe the following: A unit that has stopped due to overload can start up unex- pectedly! Do not reach into the opening of the intake socket or pressure socket while the power plug is plugged in. If the sockets are freely accessible during operation, e.g. if no hoses are connected, use a hand guard to secure the sockets. The hand guard is available as an accessory.

NOTE If the pump is used for conveying excessively soiled water, the impeller unit will be subject to in- creased wear and will require earlier replacement. Thoroughly clean the pond or pool before installing the pump. Install the pump at a raised level above the bottom of the pond. This reduces intake of muddy water.

Avoid direct sunlight on unit components that are not submerged, as they may overheat. If necessary, use a protective cover.EN

Submerged installation of the pump Connecting Connect the pump according to the desired installation variant. (→ Installation variants)

Do not plug the power plug into the socket yet! Installation

• Place the pump horizontally on a stable, mud-free surface.

• Ensure secure and stable positioning of the pump.

• Only operate the pump when it is fully submerged. The pull rope allows you to simply pull the pump from the water. − Fasten the pull rope on the bottom filter casing through the round openings and make a knot.28 Install the unit at a dry place Dry installation requires the pump to be installed without a filter housing. Conversion

Do not plug the power plug into the socket yet! Installation

• Place the pump horizontally on a stable, mud-free surface.

• Ensure secure and stable positioning of the pump.30 Commissioning/start-up NOTE Prevent the pump from running dry. Otherwise the pump will be destroyed. Only operate the pump when it is submerged or flooded.

• Switching on: Plug the power plug into the outlet. – The unit switches on immediately.

• Switching off: Pull the power plug from the outlet. Environmental Function Control (EFC) When started up, the pump automatically performs a pre-programmed self-test (Environmental Function Control (EFC)). The pump detects if it is running dry / blocked or submerged. The pump shuts down automatically after 60 to 120 seconds if it runs dry/is blocked. In the event of a mal- function, disconnect the power supply and “flood the pump” or remove the obstacle. Afterwards, the unit can be restarted. Maintenance and cleaning CAUTION Risk of injury due to unexpected start-up. Internal monitoring functions may switch off the unit and automatically reactivate it. Disconnect the power plug before carrying out any work on the unit.

NOTE Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions. These agents can damage the housing, impair the function of the device and harm animals, plants and the environment. If possible, clean the unit with clear water and a soft brush or a sponge; remove stubborn dirt with the aid of the recommended cleaning agents.

Cleaning the device Clean the unit as required but at least twiceper year.

• When cleaning the pump, pay particular attention to the impeller unit and the pump housing.

• Recommended cleaning agent for removing stubborn limescale deposits: – Pump cleaning agent PumpClean from OASE. – Vinegar- and chlorine-free household cleaning agent.

• After cleaning, thoroughly rinse all parts in clean water.EN

Removing/cleaning the pump

• Pull the power plug and remove all connections.

• Dismantle the unit as shown in the figure.

• Reassemble the unit in reverse order.

• During reassembly check that – the clamp fastening the pump in the holder is securely engaged. – the connection cable is guided out through the groove in the housing and that it is not kinked or pinched significantly.

• Dismantle the pump as shown in the figure.

• Use a brush under clear water to clean the components.

• Check all components for damage. Replace damaged or worn components.

• Assemble the pump in reverse order. When the impeller is pulled out, the radial bearing in the motor housing may come loose. During reassembly, check that it is positioned correctly. If necessary, push the radial bearing into the motor housing with the wide grooves first.

Storage/winter protection The unit is frost resistant to minus 20 °C. Should you store the unit outside of the pond, clean it thoroughly with a soft brush and water, check it for damage, then store immersed in water or filled with water. Do not immerse the power plug in water! Malfunction remedy Malfunction Cause Remedy Pump does not start
