D. WARNING: To prevent possible electric shock resulting from water back-siphoning, pump should be
located higher than water level. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet,
position aquarium stand and tank to one side of a wall mounted receptacle to
prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. A "drip loop" (ill. A) should
be arranged by the user for each cord connecting an aquarium appliance to a
receptacle. A "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 travelling 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.
