WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
Warnings:
•
Please make sure you are using the proper power source as indicated.
•
To reduce risk of electric shock, connect only to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlet.
•
To reduce risk of electric shock, if used outdoors, install only to a covered Class A GFCI protected receptacle that is
weatherproof with the power unit connected to the receptacle. If one is not provided, contact a qualified electrician for
proper installation. Ensure that the power unit and cord do not interfere with completely closing the receptacle cover
.
•
To reduce risk of fire, installation involves special wiring methods to run wiring through a building structure. Consult a
qualified electrician if this transformer is intended to be mounted greater than 0.3m (1 foot) from the ground surface.
•
Do not install the fountain within 10 ft. (3.05m) of a pool or spa. When the pump is connected to a GFCI-protected
circuit, the fountain unit has the option of being installed no less than 5 feet (1.52m) from a pool or spa.
•
The included pump should only be used with portable, self contained fountains no larger than 5 feet (1.52m) in any
direction.
•
Do not exceed the voltage shown on the pump and/or transformer.
•
Inspect all power cords for damage before installation, use or maintenance. Replace entire pump or transformer if
damage is found.
•
For plugs with a 3-prong, grounded type plug, do not remove the grounding pin from the plug on the power cord.
•
Always disconnect the pump and/or transformer from the power source before performing any maintenance on the
pump, lights (if equipped), or fountain.
•
The fountain is not a toy! Always keep the fountain out of reach of children and pets.
Cautions:
•
Keep the power cord away from high temperatures, heat sources and sharp points or edge to avoid damage to cords
which may cause an electrical hazard.
•
Do not lift the pump and/or transformer by its power cord.
•
Do not let the pump run dry. Pump must be completely submerged for proper operation and cooling.
•
Do not pump heated liquids.
•
The pump has been evaluated for use with water only.
•
Operate fountain with fresh water only. Avoid heavily chlorinated water and water with high pH levels.
•
Do not leave the fountain running unsupervised for extended periods of time.
