CONGRATULATIONS
On your purchase of an ELITE air pump. So that you may
enjoy your new air pump to the fullest, please take a few
moments to read this instruction booklet to become familiar
with the installation and operation procedures. Be certain to
read the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before using your air pump.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To guard against injury, basic safety precautions
should be observed, including the following.
1. For the complete enjoyment, use and understanding of this product
READ AND FOLLOW ALL
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
and all important notices on the appliance before using.
Failure to do so may result in damage to the unit.
2. Danger – To avoid possible electrical shock, special care
should be taken since water is employed in the use of
aquarium equipment. For each of the following situations,
do not attempt repairs yourself; return the appliance to the
manufacturer for service or discard the appliance.
A. DO NOT immerse in water. If the appliance falls into the
water, DON’T reach for it! First unplug it and then retrieve it.
If electrical components of the appliance get wet, unplug the
appliance immediately. (Non-immersible equipment only)
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. The power cord of this appliance cannot be replaced:
if the cord is damaged, the appliance should be discarded.
Never cut the cord.
D. 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. The “drip-loop” (see illustration)
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.
3. Close supervision is necessary when an appliance is used by
or near children.
4. To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts
such as heaters, reflectors, lamp bulbs, and the like.
5. Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use,
before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and
pull to disconnect.
6. Do not use an appliance for other than intended use. The
use of attachments not recommended or sold by the
appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
7. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be
exposed to weather or to temperatures below freezing.
8. Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely
installed before operating it.
9. Read and observe all the important notices on the
appliance.
10. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a 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
over or pulled.

INSTALLATION:
The air pump should be installed by following either of the two
recommended methods:
1. Place the air pump on a surface lower than the water level
of the aquarium. To avoid damage from accidentally spilled
water, do not place the air pump directly below the aquarium.
Important: It is recommended to
always use a Check Valve (sold
separately) in the air line between
the air pump and the aquarium.
The Check Valve will help prevent
water from siphoning out of the
aquarium through the air hose and
into the pump in the event of a
power failure, or when removing
filters and other air-driven
accessories from the aquarium.
2. Place the air pump on a surface higher than the water level,
such as a shelf. The surface should
be at least 12 inches (30 cm) higher
than the water level of the
aquarium, but not be positioned
directly above the aquarium. The
surface should have a raised edge to
prevent the air pump from sliding
off. Use a Check Valve (sold
separately) in the air line between
the air pump and the aquarium to
prevent back-siphoning.
Once the air pump has been installed, do the following:
1. Attach one end of the air line tubing (sold separately) to the air
outlet(s) on air pump.
2. Attach the other end of the air line tubing to filter(s), airstone(s),
ornament(s) or any other air-driven aquarium accessory.
Ensure that the airline tubing has no restrictions or kinks.
3. Plug air pump into outlet. Be sure to allow for a “drip loop”
(see illustration).
