before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never

pull to disconnect.
5. Do not use an appliance for other than its intended use (i.e. do
not use in swimming pools, garden ponds, bathrooms or any
situations where people are immersed). The use of attachments
not recommended or sold by the manufacturer of the appliance
may cause an unsafe condition.

9. WARNING – For North American market only. This appliance has
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety
feature, this plug will fit in a polarized socket only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully in the socket, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use with an
extension cord unless plug can be fully inserted. Do not attempt
to defeat this safety feature.
10. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with 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 or pulled.

Only the faithful observation of these installation, electrical and
maintenance guidelines will ensure the safe and efficient use of
this appliance.
The Exo Terra Repti Flo 250 and 350 Circulation Pump is for
indoor, household use only. The pump is hermetically sealed to
ensure safety and a long lasting life, with all live electrical parts
immersed in a protective casing to prevent total insulation against
water damage and electrical shock. This pump is not recommended
or designed to transport corrosive or flammable compounds or
liquids with different properties than water.
Installation Instructions:
The pump should be placed on a flat level surface in clear, clean
water. Sand or silt entering the intake will wear out the impeller
prematurely or stop the pump from functioning. Ensure that the
water does not contain particulate matter that may enter the pump
and damage the impeller or block its shaft.
Install pump in desired location. Press down firmly on the pump to
ensure the suction cups on the bottom of the pump are holding it
securely in place. Connect the power cord to the electrical socket.
In order to start, the pump must be submersed in clean water. If
the unit does not start immediately, verify that the water level is
sufficient to immerse pump during operation. If problem persists,
see the "Trouble-shooting" and "Maintenance" sections of this
manual for further information.
