IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To avoid possible electrical shock, do not immerse pump in water. If pump falls into the water,
or otherwise becomes wet, do not reach for it until you have first unplugged it.
CAUTION
To prevent possible electrical shock resulting from water back-siphoning, pump should be used
with a check-valve or positioned higher than the water level.
DANGER
To avoid possible electrical shock resulting from contact with water, special care should be taken.
For each of the following situations, do not attempt repairs yourself; return the appliance to Tetra®
for service or discard the appliance.
1. If appliance falls into the water, do not reach for it. First unplug it, then retrieve it. If electrical
components of the appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately.
2. Carefully examine appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water
on parts not intended to get wet.
3. Do not operate appliance if it has a damaged cord or
plug, or if it is malfunctioning, or if it is dropped or
damaged in any manner.
4. When removing filters, airstones or air-operated ornaments
from aquarium, do not let water run into the pump.
Leave pump running and prevent back-siphoning by
removing the open end of the tubing from the pump
nozzle and taping it to the top frame of the aquarium.
5. To avoid getting the appliance plug or receptacle wet,
position the aquarium to the side of a wall-mounted outlet.
Arrange a "drip loop" for each cord connecting an aquarium
appliance to an outlet. (See Illustration A.) The "drip loop"
is the part of the cord below the level of the outlet that
prevents water from traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the outlet. (If using an
extension cord, the "drip loop" is located below the level of the connector.) If the plug or
receptacle gets wet, don' t unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies
power to the appliance. Then unplug the appliance and examine the outlet for the presence
of water.
IMPORTANT
1. Close supervision is necessary when using any appliance near children.
2. Always unplug appliance from an outlet when not in use. Never yank cord to remove plug from
outlet. Grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
3. Do not use appliance for other than its intended use. The use of attachments not recommended
or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
4. Do not install appliance where it will be exposed to weather, or to temperatures below freezing.
5. Read and observe all important notices on the appliance and in the product literature.
6. If an extension cord is required, a cord with a proper rating should be used. A cord rated for
fewer amperes or watts than the total of the various appliance ratings may overheat. Care
should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.
7. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature,
the plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use with an extension
cord unless the plug can be fully inserted. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
