• INSERT THE PLASTIC STAKES THAT ARE PROVIDED INTO THE SOIL OFTHE POTS. IT IS BEST TO PLACE THE STAKES CLOSE TO THE STEMS OFTHE PLANTS. USE ONE OR MORE STAKES PER POT, DEPENDING ONTHE POT SIZE AND INDIVIDUAL PLANTS' WATER REQUIREMENTS.NOTE THAT THERE WILL BEONE DRIPPER FOR EACHSTAKE. OASIS CAN BE USEDWITH UP TO 20 DRIPPERS. N.B.: ONE DRIPPER ISSUFFICIENT FOR SMALL ANDMEDIUM-SIZED POTS; WERECOMMEND TWO DRIPPERSFOR LARGE POTS.
• NOW UNWIND THE WATERDISTRIBUTION HOSE.
• CONNECT ONE END OF THEHOSE TO ONE OF THE TWOCONNECTIONS IN THE BOTTOM OF THE OASIS FRONT PANEL (SEE PHOTO 4). PRESS THEHOSE FIRMLY INTO PLACE TOENSURE IT CANNOT BEACCIDENTALLYDISCONNECTED.
• NOW LAY THE HOSEAROUND THE POTS, FITTING ITINTO THE INDIVIDUAL STAKES.IT IS BEST TO TAKE THESHORTEST WAY BETWEENONE POT AND THE NEXT. (SEE PHOTO 5). PUSH THEHOSE INTO THE STAKE UNTIL ITTAKES ON THE CORRECTSHAPE, TAKING CARE NOT TO CREATE KINKS IN THE HOSE.
• ONCE ALL THE POTS HAVE BEEN CONNECTED, BRING THE HOSEBACK TO THE SECOND CONNECTION IN THE BOTTOM OF OASIS; IFNECESSARY, CUT OFF THE EXCESS HOSE USING SCISSORS.CONNECT THE OTHER END OF THE HOSE TO THIS SECONDCONNECTION (SEE PHOTO 6).

• IT IS NOW TIME TO FIT THEDRIPPERS. CUT THE HOSE CLOSE TO EACHSTAKE - LET'S SAY ABOUT 2 CMAWAY - AND CONNECT ADRIPPER BY PRESSING THE HOSEFIRMLY ONTO EACH END (SEE PHOTO 7). IT IS BEST TO FIT THE DRIPPER SO THAT THE OUTLET NOZZLE IN THECENTRE IS FACING DOWNWARD (SEE PHOTO 8).
• THE DRIPPER IS NOW CLOSETO THE STEM OF THE PLANTAND IS SUPPORTED BY THEHOSE, SUPPORTED IN ITS TURNBY THE STAKE.
• USE THE SAME PROCEDUREFOR ALL THE OTHER STAKES,UNTIL ALL THE DRIPPERSREQUIRED HAVE BEEN FITTED.
YOU HAVE NOW CREATED THE CIRCUIT WHICH WILLDISTRIBUTE THE WATER TO THE POTS, COMPLETE WITHDRIPPERS. IT CAN ALSO BE RE-USED ON LATER OCCASIONSIF THE TANK AND POTS AREARRANGED IN THE SAME WAY.THE DRIPPERS CAN ALSO BECLEANED AND INSPECTED TOALLOW THEM TO BE CLEANEDINSIDE IF NECESSARY: TO DOTHIS, SEPARATE THE TWOPIECES WHICH MAKE UP THEDRIPPER AND RINSE THEMUNDER RUNNING WATER.

LEAVE, TO CHECK THAT IT IS WORKING PROPERLY AND ENSURE THATTHE WATERING TIME SET MEETS YOUR PLANTS' NEEDS.
• ONLY OPERATE OASIS ON 9 V. ALKALINE BATTERIES.• DO NOT ADD LIQUID FERTILISERS TO THE WATER IN THE TANK. IF
NECESSARY, ADD LIQUID OR GRANULAR FERTILISERS DIRECTLY TO THESOIL IN THE POTS.

• AFTER USE, BEFORE PUTTING OASIS AWAY TAKE CARE TO DRAIN THEDISTRIBUTION CIRCUIT (HOSE AND DRIPPERS) COMPLETELY ANDREMOVE THE BATTERY. THIS WILL ENSURE THE DEVICE WILL BE EASILYPUT BACK INTO OPERATION NEXT TIME IT IS REQUIRED.
• DO NOT DISCONNECT THE DRIPPERS FROM THE HOSE: YOU WILLAVOID THE RISK OF LOSING PIECES, AND THE DISTRIBUTION CIRCUITWILL BE READY-MADE AND READY FOR USE NEXT TIME. FORCONVENIENT STORAGE, THE CIRCUIT CAN BE PLACED INSIDE THEEMPTY TANK.
• IF THE NUMBER OF PLANTS INCREASES, MORE LENGTHS OF HOSEAND DRIPPERS CAN BE ADDED TO THE CIRCUIT, UP TO A MAXIMUMOF 20 DRIPPERS.
• THE FILTER SHOULD BE CLEANED REGULARLY, AFTER EACH SEASONOF USE, TO REMOVE ANY DIRT FROM THE WATER TRAPPED IN THEFILTER MESH.
• AFTER USE WE ADVISE YOU TO: DRAIN OUT THE REMAINING WATER,CLEAN THE INSIDE OF THE TANK WITH AN ABSORBENT CLOTH, LEAVETO DRY AND PUT OASIS AWAY WITH THE LID ON.
WHAT TO DO IF:THE LED DOES NOT COME ON WHEN YOU FIT THE BATTERY:
• THE BATTERY IS FLAT.• CHECK THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AND THAT THEY HAVE BEEN
CONNECTED CORRECTLY
NO WATER COMES OUT OF THE DRIPPERS:
• DISCONNECT THEM AND CHECK THEY ARE NOT CLOGGED WITH DIRTFROM THE WATER. REPLACE THE DRIPPERS, TAKING CARE THAT THEYARE FIRMLY CONNECTED.
• CHECK THAT THERE ARE NO KINKS OR RESTRICTIONS IN THEDISTRIBUTION HOSE.
• CHECK THAT OASIS IS 70/80 CM ABOVE THE GROUND AND AT LEAST50 CM ABOVE THE RIM OF THE TALLEST POT.
• CHECK THAT THERE ARE NO AIR BUBBLES IN THE DISTRIBUTION HOSE.IF THERE ARE ANY, DISCONNECT BOTH ENDS OF THE HOSE FROMTHEIR CONNECTIONS, BLOW INTO THE HOSE TO DRIVE ALL THEWATER OUT, AND RECONNECT THE DISTRIBUTION HOSE TO OASIS ASDESCRIBED IN THE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE.

• C NOW PUT A FINGER OVER THE END OF THE HOSE FROM WHICH WATERIS FLOWING, AND AT THE SAME TIME REMOVE YOUR FINGER FROM THEOTHER END OF THE LOOP, SO THAT WATER FLOWS FROM THERE THIS TIME.
• D YOU CAN NOW RECONNECT THE HOSETO THE DRIPPER, RESTORING THE LOOPCIRCUIT. YOUR OASIS IS NOW READY TOGIVE YOU TROUBLEFREE SERVICE.
