Installation and Start-up Guide for OASE Waterfall Pumps
Installation
⚠️ WARNING
Risk of electric shock – This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle.
Important:
- Always place the unit below water level.
- It is recommended to place the unit horizontally on the ground ensuring its stable position.
- Do not lift the pump by its power cord. Use the handle to lift and maneuver the pump.
For maximum water flow, it is recommended that the largest tubing size for your pump is used.
If needed, cut the adapter as shown using a hacksaw; consult packaging for tubing size.

Attach the adapter to the pump first, then connect tubing to the adapter.
NOTE: Tubing is NOT INCLUDED.
