Safety Statements
WARNING
To avoid possible electrical shock, special care should be taken since water
is employed in the use of aquarium equipment.
WARNING
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.
A WARNING
DO NOT immerse the driver or power supply in water. If the driver or power
supply falls into the water, DON’T reach for it! First unplug it and then
retrieve it. If electrical components of the appliance get wet, unplug the
appliance immediately. Death or destruction of property may result.
Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is
malfunctioning or if it is
dropped or damaged in any manner.
• Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged
in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet
• Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to
disconnect.
• Do not use appliance for other than intended use. The use of attachments,
power cords, or accessories not sold by the manufacturer may cause an unsafe
condition resulting in property damage, injury, or death..
• Position the 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” should be employed for each cord connecting an aquarium appliance
to a receptacle. A “drip-loop” is the part of the cord below the level of the
receptacle (or the connector if an extension cord), to prevent water from
traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle.
- Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to weather or to temperatures below freezing.
- 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.
- DO NOT attempt repairs yourself; return the appliance to the manufacturer for service or discard.
- ONLY the pump component of the product is waterproof.
- Close supervision is necessary when an appliance is used by or near children. Keep out of reach of young children.
- To avoid injury, do not contact moving or hot parts such as heaters, reflectors, lamp bulbs, and the like.
- Always unplug appliance from outlet before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
- DO NOT stick fingers or anything else into the propeller.
