DANGER
– To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is
employed in the use of aquarium equipment. For each of the following situations, do not
attempt repairs by yourself; return the appliance to an authorized service facility for service
or discard the appliance.
a. If the appliance shows any signs of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it from
the power source.
b. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there
is water on parts not intended to be wet.
c. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning
or has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
d. To avoid the possibility of the pump plug or receptacle getting wet, position aquarium stand
and tank to one side of a wall mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto the
receptacle or plug. A “drip loop” shown in the fi gure below, should be arranged by the user
for each cord connecting an aquarium appliance to a receptacle. The “drip loop” is that part
of the cord below the level of the receptacle, or the connector if an extension cord is used,
to prevent water from traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle.
If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or
circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance. Then, unplug and examine for presence
of water in the receptacle.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.
4. To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or
hot parts such as heaters, refl ectors, lamp bulbs,
and the like.
5. Always unplug an appliance from an outlet
when not in use, before putting on or taking off
parts, and before cleaning. Never yank cord to
pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to
disconnect.
6. Do not use an appliance for other than intended
use. The use of attachments not recommended
or sold by the appliance manufacturer may
cause an unsafe condition.
7. Do not install or store the appliance where it will
be exposed to the weather or to temperatures
below freezing.
8. Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is
securely installed before operating it.
