WARNING: To avoid possible electrical shock, do not
immerse pump in water. If pump falls into the water, or
otherwise becomes wet, do not reach for it until you have
first unplugged it.
CAUTION: To avoid possible electric shock, pump should
be used with a check-valve or positioned higher than the
water level.
DANGER: For each of the following situations, do not
attempt repairs yourself; return the appliance to JBJ
Aquariums for service or discard the appliance.
1.
If the appliance falls into 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.
2.
Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It
should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not
intended to be wet.
3.

the pump. Leave pump running and prevent back-
siphoning by removing the open end of the tubing from
the pump nozzle and taping it to the top frame of the
aquarium.
5.
To avoid getting the appliance plug or receptacle wet,
position the aquarium to the side of a wall-mounted
outlet. Arrange a “drip loop” for each cord connecting
an aquarium appliance to an outlet. The “drip loop”
is the part of the cord below the level of the outlet
that prevents water from traveling along the cord
and coming in contact with the outlet. (If using an
extension cord, the “drip loop” is located below the
level of the connector.) If the plug or receptacle gets
wet, don’t unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or
circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance.
Then unplug the appliance and examine the outlet for
the presence of water.
