SAFETY INFORMATION

Duty of supervision

This unit can be used by children aged 8 and above and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they are supervised or have been instructed on how to use the unit in a safe way and they understand the hazards involved.

Do not allow children to play with the unit.

Only allow children to carry out cleaning and user maintenance under supervision.

Electrical connection

Ensure that the unit is fused for a rated fault current of max.

30 mA by means of a fault current protection device.

• Only connect the unit if the electrical data of the unit and the power supply coincide. The unit data is to be found on the unit type plate, on the packaging or in this manual.
• Extension cables and power distributors (e.g. outlet strips) must be suitable for outdoor use (splash-proof).
• Protect the plug connections from moisture.
• Only plug the unit into a correctly fitted socket.

Safe operation

If a power connection cable is damaged, have it immediately replaced by OASE, an authorised customer service or a qualified electrician to prevent electric shock.

• Minimum safety distance between the unit and the water: 2 m.
• Do not expose the pump to rain or use it in a wet or damp environment.
• 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 cables/hoses such that they are protected from damage and do not present a tripping hazard.

• Only open the unit housing or its attendant components, when this is explicitly required in the operating instructions.
• Only carry out work on the unit that is described in this manual. If problems cannot be overcome, please contact an authorised customer service point or, when in doubt, the manufacturer.
• Only use original spare parts and accessories for the unit.
• Never carry out technical modifications to the unit.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

NOTE

For permanent installation of the pump, use flexible compression-proof hoses to connect it to the pipe network to reduce the noise of the pump.

NOTE

If the pump is used as a booster pump, ensure that the max. internal pressure of 6 bar on the pressure side is not exceeded.

• The pump pressure is added to the pre-pressure.
• Example: Pre-pressure = 1 bar, max. pressure of the pump = 4.5 bar, total pressure = 5.5 bar.

- Install the pump in a horizontal and stable position in a dry place.

- For permanent installation of the pump, ensure that a sufficiently large collecting basin can be positioned underneath the discharge screw for emptying the pump.

- If possible, install the pump in a higher position than the container/reservoir from which the water is to be pumped. If this is not possible, a pressure-proof

valve must be fitted between the pump and the suction hose.

- Only use vacuum-proof pressure hoses on the pressure and suction side.

NOTE

OASE recommends: Additionally fasten the suction hose (e.g. by tying it to a wooden stake) to relieve the weight of the hose on the pump.

□ B

- Screw a suction and pressure hose with 25.0 mm internal diameter (1") onto the connections.

OPERATION

WARNING

Risk of injury due to hot water!

Burns to parts of the body.

• Water remaining in the pump may be heated to a high temperature in the event of defective electronics or lack of water supply on the suction side.
• Isolate the unit (disconnect from the power supply) before carrying out any work on it.
• Disconnect the pump from the mains at the main circuit breaker or pull the power plug, and allow the water to cool down.

Start-up of the device

It is necessary to fill the pump and expel the air from the suction line before using it for the first time. It can take several minutes to expel air from the suction line.

How to proceed:

□ C

1. Unscrew the filter cover. A screwdriver can be inserted from the side into the recesses of the cover to aid unscrewing.

2. Open the shut-off device in the pressure line.

3. Pour water into the infill opening of the pre-filter until it overflows. At the same time, keep the non-return valve opener open until the water has expelled any remaining air from the filter.

4. Screw the filter cover back on.
5. Insert the power plug into the socket.

1. Switch on the pump. (→ Operation )

- The pump starts pumping immediately. The emerging water still contains some air.

ProMax Garden 6000/5

- The pump restores the last operating mode and indicates it with the LEDs in the ON/OFF button. If the pump was switched off, it is necessary to switch it on now.

NOTE

If no water is taken in after 5 minutes, the dry run protection switches off the pump.

(→ Operation)

ProMax Garden 3500 / 5000 / 6000/5

1. Close the shut-off device of the pressure line as soon as there is no more air in the emerging water. Air has now been expelled from the suction line.

Shutting down the pump

NOTE

Rinse out the pump with clean water after use.

How to proceed:

1. Switch off the pump
2. Disconnect the power plug.
3. Depressurise the pressure line by opening the water withdrawal points.
4. Also open any non-return valves fitted in the suction line.

- When the pump is switched off, residual water in the hose may flow back and out of the pump intake.

If the pump is to be completely removed:

□D

1. Remove the connected hoses on the pressure and suction side.
2. Undo the water drain screw and tip the pump to allow the residual water to drain out.
3. Screw in the water drain screw again.

OPERATION

- Press the rocker switch to switch the pump on and off.
