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
repairs by yourself; return the
appliance to an authorized
service
facility
for
service or discard
the appliance:
1
•
This appliance is
designed
for
indoor use
only.
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
•
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.
4
•
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 at the bottom
of
the page, 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 on extension
cord
is
used,
to prevent water traveling
along the cord
and
coming in contact with
the
receptacle. 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.

Close
supervision
is necessary

an
appliance
from an outlet
when

parts,
and
before cleaning.

J
•
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.
L
•
Maintenance:
Disconnect
the
power
supply to
all equipment
in
the
aquarium before putting your
hands
in the water
•
The rotor
is lubricated by water, it is therefore
essential never
to operate
with
a dry filter, this would
cause
the rotor to wear rapidly.
M.

of
the
filter
housing
(see picture
