IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING – To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed including the following:

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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, return the appliance to an authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance.

1. A. If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it from the power source.
   B. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on the parts not intended to be wet.
   C. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or if it is dropped or damaged in any manner.
   D. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position aquarium stand and tank to one side of the wall mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. As shown in the figure below, a “drip loop” should be arranged by the user for each cord connecting an aquarium appliance to the receptacle. The “drip loop” is the part of the cord below the level of the receptacle, or the connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent water travel along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle. If the plug or the receptacles do get wet, DON’T unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse to the circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance. Then unplug and examine for the presence of water in the receptacle.

2. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

3. To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as heaters, reflectors, lamp bulbs, etc.

4. Always unplug an appliance from the outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never yank the cord to pull plug from the outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.

5. Do not use an appliance for other than intended use. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.

6. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing.

7. Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before operating it.

8. Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.

9. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used. A cord rated for less amperesor 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.

10. The appliance is intended for household use.

11. If the appliance 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. (Non-immersible equipment only)

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Grounding

Grounding Setup

This appliance should be grounded to minimize the possibility of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with an electric cord with an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding-type plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriately grounded outlet.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. (fig. B3)

A temporary adaptor may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle if a grounded outlet is not available (fig. B1)

The temporary adaptor should be used only until a grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.

Grounding Installation

The green-colored rigid ear (screw and the like) extending from the adaptor must be fastened to a permanent ground, such as a ground outlet box. (fig. B2)

1. Plug temporary adaptor into two-pole outlet. (fig. B3)
2. Insert screw through rigid ear on temporary adaptor and into grounded outlet box.

Power Strip Setup

1. If using a power strip, the ground connector must be plugged into a receptacle controlled by a GFI (ground fault interupter) circuit breaker.
2. Make sure to place the power strip in a dry and safe area away from the aquarium in order to avoid moisture.
3. Place power strip in a secure and stable area so that it cannot fall into the aquarium or sump.
4. Make sure all receptacles are protected from water: splash, spilling and evaporation.

Attachments

Adjustable 4-Outlet Metal Valve
(Figure C1)

1. Connect Adjustable 4-Outlet Metal Valve by turning clockwise into pump end. DO NOT overtighten.
2. Adjust the airflow to each individual outlet by turning adjustment valve. The closer the valve is to being parallel with the outlet, the less the airflow is restricted. As you turn the valve away from being parallel with the outlet, the airflow becomes more restricted.
3. Attach airline tubing (not included) to outlets, position and plug in.

6-Outlet Plastic Valve
(Figure C2)

1. Connect metal outlet adapter by turning clockwise into pump end. DO NOT overtighten.
2. Securely attach one end of included tubing to metal outlet adapter.
3. Securely attach 6-Outlet Plastic Valve to opposite end of tubing.
4. Attach airline tubing (not included) to outlets, position and plug in.

NOTE: Pump is for external use only and should not come in contact with water.

Maintenance

Clean the Air Filter Every 3 Months
(Figure D1 and D2)

1. Unplug pump and disconnect any airline tubing from valves. Allow pump to completely cool down.
