WARNING -
To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, inclu-
ding the following:
DANGER -
To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken in the use of aqua-
rium equipment. For each of the following situations, do not attempt repairs yourself; re-
turn 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 from
1.
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 if it is dropped or damaged in any manner. Inspect power cord insulation to be sure there
are no cuts or exposed wire. If so, discard and order a new replacement.
D) To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position aqua-
rium 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 right, 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 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 when any appliance is used by or near children.
