WARNING

• The National Electric Code requires that a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) be used in the branch circuit supplying fountain pumps and other pond equipment. See your electrical supplies dealer for this device.
• Do not remove the grounding pin from the plug.
• Do not connect to any voltage other than shown on the pump.
• Do not pump flammable liquids.
• Do not use with water above 86º Fahrenheit (30ºC).
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only on portable self-contained fountains no larger than 5 feet in any dimension.
• Risk of electrical shock. This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and ground attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle.
• Ensure that the electrical cord loops below the electrical outlet to form a “Drip Loop”.
  This will prevent water from running down the cord into the electrical outlet.

CAUTION

• Always disconnect from electrical outlet before handling the pump.
• Do not let the pump run dry.
• Do not lift the pump by the power cord.
• Do not pump heated liquids.
• Operate in freshwater only.
• Operate pump completely submerged for proper cooling.

ATTENTION
order to get best results, operate pump completely submerged. Keep the water level above the top of the pump at ALL TIMES.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE – PUMP

A clogged or dirty intake screen will greatly reduce performance.
If the pump is used on a dirty surface, raise it slightly to reduce the amount of debris contacting the intake.
If less flow is desired, adjust it with the flow control. Never restrict the pump’s intake.
To clean the pump, remove the front plate and the impeller. Use a small brush or stream of water to remove any debris.
CAUTION: The pump shaft cannot be removed.

IF THE PUMP FAILS TO OPERATE, CHECK THE FOLLOWING:

• Check the circuit breaker and try another outlet to ensure the pump is getting electrical power.
  NOTE: always disconnect from electrical outlet before handling the pump.

• Check the pump discharge and tubing for kinks and obstructions. Algae build up can be flushed out with a garden hose.

• Check the intake screen to ensure it is not clogged with debris.

• Remove the pump inlet to access the impeller area. Turn the impeller to ensure it is not broken or jammed.

• If the impeller area is encrusted with minerals or corrosion, gently scrape the area clean.

• If your pump has been idle for an extended period, it may be necessary to apply a drop of light oil to the shaft and spin the impeller by hand until it turns freely.

• Monthly maintenance will add to your pump’s life.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE – LIGHT

• Monthly maintenance will add to your pump’s life.
• Periodically, your light may require cleaning for optimal performance.
• Cleaning should only be done with warm soapy water. Be sure to use biodegradable soap.
• The frequency of cleaning depends upon the conditions of the environment where the light is used.
