Precautions

Before using this Maxspect™ Gyre™ Pro Gyre Flow Pump please read these operating instructions carefully. Take special care to follow the safety suggestions listed below.
Afterwards keep this manual handy for future reference.

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. 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 to repair by yourself; return the appliance to an authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance.
   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 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 has been 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 a wall-mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. A “drip-loop” shown in the figure, 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 used, to prevent water traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle. If the plug or socket 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.

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, and the like.

4. Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never yank cord to pull plug from 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 appliances 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 amperes or watts than the appliance rating may overheat.

Safety on Power Supply

1. Power Source – DO NOT defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
2. Power Cord Protection – The power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Never take hold of the plug or cord if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug body when connecting or disconnecting it.
3. Installation – Install indoor only, and use the attachments and accessories provided and specified by the manufacturer.

Safety on Magnet Mount (If it is applied)

1. CAUTION – Very strong magnetic mount included in the package.
2. CAUTION – keep the magnet mount out of reach of children, as there is risk of severe personal injury otherwise!
3. Handle the magnet mount with their proper handle, and DO NOT bring the both side together directly. DO NOT put your fingers between the magnet mounts.
4. Magnet mount can attract metal objects, keep clear of metal objects when handling the magnetic mount to avoid injuries.
5. Magnet mount can also damage electronic and magnetic storage devices such as USB storage devices, pacemakers, credit cards, etc. Keep clear of these devices when handling the magnetic mount to avoid damaging them.

Safety on Pulsing Motion generated by the Gyre System

1. Making pulses and waves with the Gyre System can place additional stress on the aquarium glass/acrylic and its joints. Not all aquariums are able or designed to withstand this stress and failure of the glass/acrylic and/or joints could result. Please consult with your aquarium
2. Manufacturer to determine if the aquarium construction is adequate to withstand the additional stress generated by the pulses and waves motion. Please also check to assure that your aquarium stand or furniture is properly leveled, which will help reduce the additional stress resulting from wave generation.
3. Maxspect DISCLAIMS AND WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR, damage to any aquarium or their surroundings, water damage, or any other consequential damages resulting from wave generation. MAKE PULSES AND WAVES AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Operation – Controller Unit

1. Operation – Always follow the operation instructions set forth in this manual when using this controller unit.
2. Heat – The controller unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, and DO NOT expose to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
3. Moisture – To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, DO NOT expose the controller unit to rain, moisture, dripping or splashing.
4. Water Damage – DO NOT immerse in water. If the controller unit falls into the water, DO NOT reaches for it! First unplug it and then retrieve it. If electrical components of the appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately.

Operation – Gyre Pump

1. Placement – The Gyre pump creates high levels of flow within your aquarium. Please place the Gyre in an area where corals are not too close to the output flow of the pump.

2. Stall – In the event of a motor stall, the Gyre pump may have stopped for a few possible reasons.
   You should first check that there is not something blocking the rotors from spinning.

3. Overheating – The Gyre pump is designed to run underwater. DO NOT run the Gyre pump when it is not submerged in water. Doing so will cause the Gyre pump module to overheat and could damage the pump component.

4. Cleaning – Please follow the instruction in this manual to clean the Gyre regularly.

5. Power Outage – During power outage, if a battery backup accessory is added to the Gyre pump, the pump will automatically switch to Battery Backup mode during a power outage. The pumps will run at the minimum speed to maximize their run time during this critical period.

Maintenance

Your Gyre flow Pump is designed to operate optimally with little attention after initial setup.
However, due to the harsh conditions of a saltwater aquarium and resulting buildup of algae and other organic matter, it is advisable to clean the pump to ensure the longevity of appliance.
Maxspect recommends doing a cleaning every 6 months or as necessary. This can be accomplished by opening the impeller housing and gently brushing the impeller and inside of impeller housing with a soft brush under running water. If there is calcium buildup, it may be necessary to soak these parts in a mild acid solution such as vinegar. DO NOT use strong acids, because these may damage the components. After cleaning, reassemble the appliance.

Note: Please note that the impellers and flow cages must be installed to the correct side when reassembling the gyre after cleaning.
