Fastening lugs for the rope

Connection, pressure side G1

Power connection cable

Screen, suction side

• OASE ProMax Garden Automatic Switch (44538) controls the pump dur- ing water withdrawal. The pump is swit- ched on and off automatically.

• OASE ProMax Floating Intake (57772) changes the position of the pump in- take. This prevents sand or dirt particles from being drawn into the pump. Intended use ProMax Pressure Cistern 6000/6, referred to as "unit", may only be used as specified in the following:

• For pumping clear water or rain water.

• For irrigating and watering.

• For pumping the water out of water butts/rain barrels or cisterns.

• Operate in accordance with instruc- tions. (→ Technical data) Possible incorrect use The following restrictions apply to the unit:

• Not suitable for salt water.

• Not suitable for drinking water.

• Do not use for long-term operation (e.g. continuous recirculation of the water in a pond).

• Do not use for commercial or industrial purposes.

• Do not use in conjunction with chemi- cals, foodstuff, easily flammable or ex- plosive substances.

• Do not connect to the drinking water supply.

The pump is only suitable for vertical in- stallation. The float switch will not be able to switch unimpaired if the pump is in- stalled horizontally. Connecting the pressure hose An optimum flow rate is achieved with a hose inside diameter of 25 mm (1"). How to proceed:

2. Connect the pressure hose and adapter

to the connection on the pressure side. – Recommendation: Use a quick-re- lease coupling. Installing the pump in a bored well or shaft

• Attach the fixing rope with a double knot to the lugs and lower the pump into the bored well or shaft.

• Use the fixing rope to fix the pump at a height of at least 1.5 m above the bot- tom of the well or shaft. – This prevents it from drawing in dirt particles.

• Ensure that the screen on the suction side is at least 150 mm below the sur- face of the water.

• Do not carry the pump by its power con- nection cable.

• From a well or shaft depth of 5 m, fix the power connection cable to the fixing rope at a distance of 5 m from the pump (strain relief).DE

Vertical installation of the pump with the stand The pump can be vertically installed with the stand in a tank or well.

• Ensure that the screen on the suction side is at least 150 mm below the sur- face of the water.

• If the water contains sand and/or is soiled, install the pump in a raised posi- tion or use ProMax Floating Intake (57772). How to proceed:

1. Push the mounting feet onto the stand.

2. Undo the Allen screws until the opening

of the stand is wide enough to fit onto the pump.

3. Push the pump into the stand.

4. Tighten the Allen screws until the pump

is fixed in the stand. OPERATION When the water level rises, it lifts the float switch until the switch-on point is reached and the pump switches on. When the water level drops, the float switch lowers until the switch-off point is reached and the pump switches off.

• The integrated non-return valve pre- vents water from flowing back into the pump from the pressure hose when it is switched off. The non-return valve also prevents damage to the pump resulting from water hammer.

Automatic mode The use of OASE ProMax Garden Auto- matic Switch allows automatic operation. When the connected appliance (water withdrawal) is opened, the pump switches on; when it is closed, the pump is switched off.

• The float switch of the pump serves as dry run protection. If there is not suffi- cient water, the float switch automati- cally switches off the pump. Starting up the pump WARNING Dangerous electrical voltage! Death or severe injury from electrocu- tion.

• Only connect the pump to the power supply when there are no persons in or reaching into the water.

• Before stepping into or reaching into the water, switch off all units located in the water.

• Insert the power plug into the socket. – The pump is ready for operation. – The pump will start up as soon as the level of the water reaches the switch- on height. NOTE If the water contains a large quantity of suspended sand (e.g. in the case of a new well), allow the pump to run at full flow rate for approx. 1 hour without inter- ruption in order to pump out the water containing the sand. Otherwise the non- return valve could become blocked by sand being deposited in the pressure line. Taking the pump out of operation

WARNING Dangerous electrical voltage! Death or severe injury from electrocution. Prior to starting work:

• Switch off the unit, disconnect the power plug and secure the unit from being switched on again.

• Before stepping into or reaching into the water, switch off all units located in the water. On completion of the work:

Malfunction Cause Remedy Pump does not start. Power supply interrupted Check the fuse and electri- cal plug connections. Pump switches off after a short running period. Overload protection has switched the pump off due to overheating.

• Allow the pump to cool down. The well has run dry. Wait until there is sufficient water in the well. The pump is running but is not delivering, or the deliv- ered quantity is insufficient Pressure hose blocked

• Route the pressure hose without kinks.

• Check the outlet and clean if necessary Intake blocked

• Clean the intake Air in the pressure hose

• Expel the air from the pressure hose. If applicable: Non- return valve incorrectly fitted in the pressure hose or clogged

• Correctly fit the non-re- turn valve.

• Clean the non-return valve. The non-return valve is blocked with sand.

• Clean the non-return valve. (→ Cleaning the non-return valve)

• If the pump still does not start up, contact OASE. Impeller defective or worn Contact OASE.

• The impeller may only be replaced by the OASE Service. The impeller is clogged with sand.

• Clean the non-return valve. (→ Cleaning the non-return valve)

• Flush the pump with sand-free water until allDE

Malfunction Cause Remedy the sand has been com- pletely flushed out. If the pump still does not start up, contact OASE. − The impeller may only be replaced by the OASE Service.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

WARNING Dangerous electrical voltage! Death or severe injury from electrocu- tion.

• Before reaching into the water, switch off the mains voltage of all units in the water.

• Isolate the unit (disconnect from the power supply) before carrying out any work on it. NOTE Recommendation on regular cleaning:

• Clean the unit as required but at least twice per year.

• Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions as they could at- tack the housing or impair the function of the unit.

• Recommended cleaning agent for re- moving 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. Cleaning the non-return valve Sand can block the non-return valve of the pump so that it cannot close properly. The non-return valve has to be cleaned. Prerequisite:

• The pressure hose and adapter have been dismantled. How to proceed:

1. Carefully pull out the non-return valve

2. Thoroughly clean the non-return valve

3. Reassemble in the reverse order.

4. Prior to installing, allow the pump to

convey clear water for a few minutes (e.g. in a basin) to completely remove any sand residue. (→ Installation and connection) WEAR PARTS The following components are wear parts and may only be replaced by the OASE Service.

If the unit is not installed in a frost-protected place, it must be re- moved and stored if minus temperatures are expected. How to correctly store the unit:

• Drain the unit as far as possible, clean thoroughly and check for damage.

• Empty all hoses, pipes and connections as far as possible.

• Thoroughly clean the unit, check it for damage and replace any damaged parts.

• Store the unit in a dry and frost-free place.
