WARNING:
To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be
observed, including the following:
a.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
.
b
.
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:
1. If the appliance falls into the water, DO NOT reach for it! First, unplug it and then retrieve it.
If the electrical components of the appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately.
(non-immersible equipment only)
2. If the appliance shows any signs of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it from
the power source. (immersible equipment only)
3. Carefully examine the appliance after
installation. It should not be plugged in if
there is water on parts not intended to be
wet.
4. Do not operate any appliance if it has a
damaged cord or plug, or if it is
malfunctioning or if it has been dropped or
damaged in any manner.
5. To avoid the possibility of the appliance 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"
(fig. A1) 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 to
be 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.
c.
Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.
d.
To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts
or hot parts such as heaters, reflectors, lamp
bulbs and the like.
