WARNING- To guard against injury, basic safety
precautions should be observed, including the following:
• 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 situ-
ations, do not attempt repairs by yourself; return the
appliance to an authorized service facility for service or
discard the appliance
• Unplug all units in the aquarium and disconnect the
power plugs of all units before reaching into the water
or moving/cleaning the unit.
• CAUTION! Risk of Electric Shock - Don’t use the pump
when there are people in the water.
• CAUTION! This unit has been evaluated for use with
water only.
• DANGER! Never operate the unit if either the electrical
cables or the housing are defective!
• Do not install or store the appliance where it will be
exposed to the weather or to temperatures below
freezing.
• Do not carry or pull the unit by its electrical cable.
• If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper
rating should be used. A cord rated for less amperes
or watts than the appliance rating may overheat. Care
should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not
be tripped over or pulled.
• Don’t attempt to open the pump/motor enclosure.
• 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.
• DANGER! Only carry out work on the unit that is de-
scribed in this manual. If problems cannot be overcome,
please contact an authorized customer service point or,
when in doubt, the manufacturer.
• Only use original spare parts and accessories for the unit.
• DANGER! Never carry out technical modifications to the
unit. Don’t cut the cord or remove the plug from the cord.
• Power connection cables cannot be replaced. If a cable is
damaged, dispose of the respective unit or components.
• 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.
Electrical connection
• Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.
• Ensure that the unit is fused for a rated fault current of
max. 30 mA by means of a fault current protection de-
vice.
• 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.
• Protect the plug connections from moisture.
• Only plug the unit into a correctly fitted socket.
• Do have all electrical outlets installed and serviced by a
licensed electrician.
• DANGER! Do disconnect the pump from the electrical
outlet at the first sign of any problem.
• DANGER! If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DON’T
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.
• DANGER! Don’t pinch, twist or damage the electrical
cord. A minor cut even if only in the outer shell could
allow water to reach the motor enclosure and damage
the pump. If you notice any damage to the cord remove
the pump and store in a dry place. Consult any damage to
the electrical cord will void all warranties and could cause
serious electrical shock hazard.
• To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug getting wet
prevent water from dripping onto plug. A “drip loop,”
shown in the figure 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 traveling along
the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle.
