ActiveAqua AAPW40 Manual De Instrucciones página 4

Active Aqua Pumps from Hydrofarm are carefully inspected and tested to ensure
both safety and operating performance . However, failure to follow the instructions
and warnings in this manual may result in pump damage and/or serious injury . Be
sure to read and save this manual for future reference .
WARNING
• This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and a grounding type
attachment plug . To reduce risk of electric shock, connect only to a properly
grounded outlet .
• Do not remove the grounding pin from the plug .
• Do not connect to any voltage other than that shown on the pump .
• Do not pump flammable liquids .
• The national electric code requires that a grounded fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) be used in the branch circuit supplying fountain pumps and other pond
equipment . See your electrical supplies dealer for this device .
• Do not use with water above 86°F (30°C) .
• Do not allow the pump to freeze in winter, remove pump from fountains and
ponds and store in a frost-free area .
:
CAUTION
Always disconnect from electrical outlet before handling the pump.
• Do not let the pump run dry .
• Do not lift the pump by the power cord .
• Do not pump heated liquids .
• Do not operate in salt water .
PERFORMANCE
• A clogged or dirty intake screen will greatly reduce performance . If the pump
is used on a dirty surface, raise it slightly to reduce the amount of debris
contacting the intake . If less flow is desired, adjust the flow control knob on the
front of the pump or restrict the discharge flow .
• Active Aqua submersible pumps can be used submersed or in-line (except for
models AAPW40 and AAPW160, which are for submersed use only) . Note that
when used in-line it should be placed below the water level since it is not self
priming . Never run this pump dry . If initially the pump does not work, it may be
"air locked" . To clear the air lock, unplug the pump and tilt 90° degrees under
water, repeat if necessary .
The included gray fitting should be attached to the inlet side of the pump only when
operated in-line . The barbed gray and black fittings use a different sized thread and
rubber o-rings . The gray in-line fitting attaches to the front of the pump and uses
the larger sized o-ring . The black fittings attach to the top of the pump and use the
smaller sized o-ring . Please use only as intended (see chart for reference) .
