ATTENTION
Fig. 1
• Do not lift, lower or handle the pump by pulling on the electrical cord. Make sure the
electrical cable does not become excessively bent or twisted and does not rub against a
structure in a way that might damage it. (Fig. 1)
• Always disconnect the power supply before doing any maintenance or placing your hands
into the water to which this pump is immersed. (Fig. 2)
• The submersible pump should not be used if the electrical supply cable is damaged in
any way. If a cable with damaged insulation is submerged in water, there is danger of
water seeping into the pump motor and causing a short. The electrical cable cannot be
replaced. If the cord is damaged, the pump should be discarded. Altering the electrical
cable in any way will void the warranty. (Fig. 3)
Operation
• Fountain Series pumps are for use in water only. Water temperature should never
exceed 95˚ F (35˚ C).
Make sure the pump works at a proper water level. Do
not operate the pump without water. If so, the pump
should be turned off immediately and check.
