WORK AREA
This is the safety alert
symbol. It is used to alert
you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all
safety messages that follow
this symbol to avoid possible
injury or death.
DANGER indicates a
hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will result
in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a
hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION, used with
the safety alert
symbol, indicates a hazardous
situation which, if not avoided,
could result in minor or moderate
injury.
Keep your work area clean and well 1.
lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas
invite accidents.
Do not operate pumps in explosive 2.
atmospheres, such as in the presence
of ammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Do not operate this pump unless it is
submerged in water.
Keep bystanders, children, and 3.
visitors away while operating a pump.
Do not allow anyone to put their hands in
the Barrel if the pump is plugged in.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Grounded pumps must be plugged 1.
into an outlet properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all
codes and ordinances. Never remove
the grounding prong or modify the
plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs. Check with a qualied
electrician if you are in doubt as
to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. If the pumps should

electrically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance path
to carry electricity away from the user.
Avoid body contact with grounded 2.
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
Do not abuse the Power Cord.3.
Never use the Power Cord to carry
the pumps or pull the Plug from an
outlet. Keep the Power Cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving
parts. Replace damaged Power Cords
immediately. Damaged Power Cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a pump outside, use 4.
an outdoor extension cord marked
“W-A” or “W”. These extension cords
are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the
risk of electric shock.
Do not overreach. Keep proper 4.
footing and balance at all times.
Use safety equipment. Always wear 5.
eye protection during set-up.
PRODUCT USE AND CARE
Do not force the product. Use the 1.
correct product for your application.
The correct product will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from 2.
the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing the pump. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the pump accidentally.
Store idle pumps out of reach of 3.
children and other untrained persons.
Pumps are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert. Watch what you are 1.
doing, and use common sense when
operating a power product. Do not
use a pump while tired or under
the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention
while operating pumps may result in
serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose 2.
clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting.3. Be sure the
Pump is fully submerged in water and
nobody has their hands or any body
parts in the barrel before plugging in
the Pump.
Maintain pumps with care. Keep 4.
pumps clean. Do not use a damaged
pump. Tag damaged pumps “Do not
use” until repaired.
Check for misalignment or binding of 5.
moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect
the pump’s operation. If damaged,
have the pump serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained pumps.
Do not modify this product.6. This is a
decorative pump and is not designed for
any other use.
Use only accessories that are 7.
recommended by the manufacturer
for your model. Accessories that may
be suitable for one product may become
hazardous when used on another
product.

SERVICE
Pump service must be performed only 1.
by qualied repair personnel. Service
or maintenance performed by unqualied
personnel could result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a pump, use only 2.
identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the “Inspection,
Maintenance, And Cleaning” section
of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow maintenance
instructions may create a risk of electric
shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Set-up the Fountain Pump on a level 6.
surface away from children and
pets. If necessary create a boundary
to keep children and pets away to avoid
drowning or electrocution. Children and
pets need constant adult supervision
near the Fountain Pump.
Never leave the Fountain Pump 7.
unattended during operation. Do not
run the Pump if unattended. Unplug the
pump when not in use.
WARNING:8. Handling the cord on this
product will expose you to lead, a
chemical known to the State of California
to cause cancer, and birth defects or

Grounded Pumps: Pumps with
Three Prong Plugs
Extension Cords
Grounded1. pumps require a three wire
extension cord. Double Insulated
pumps can use either a two or three wire
extension cord.
As the distance from the supply outlet 2.
increases, you must use a heavier gauge
extension cord. Using extension cords
with inadequately sized wire causes a
serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss
of power and possible pump damage.
(See Table A.)
3-Prong Plug and Outlet
Pumps marked with “Grounding 1.
Required” have a three wire cord
and three prong grounding plug. The
plug must be connected to a properly
grounded outlet. If the pump should
electrically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance path
to carry electricity away from the user,
reducing the risk of electric shock. (See
3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
The grounding prong in the plug is 2.
connected through the green wire inside
the cord to the grounding system in the
pump. The green wire in the cord must
be the only wire connected to the pump’s
grounding system and must never be
attached to an electrically “live” terminal.
(See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
The pump must be plugged into an 3.
appropriate outlet, properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes
and ordinances. The plug and outlet
should look like those in the preceding
illustration. (See 3-Prong Plug and
Outlet.)
The smaller the gauge number of the 3.
wire, the greater the capacity of the cord.
For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry
a higher current than a 16 gauge cord.
(See Table A.)
When using more than one extension 4.
cord to make up the total length, make
sure each cord contains at least the
minimum wire size required. (See Table
A.)
If you are using one extension cord for 5.
more than one pump, add the nameplate
amperes and use the sum to determine
the required minimum cord size. (See
Table A.)
If you are using an extension cord 6.
outdoors, make sure it is marked with the
sufx “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it
is acceptable for outdoor use.
Make sure the extension cord is properly 7.
wired and in good electrical condition.
Always replace a damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a qualied
electrician before using it.
Protect the extension cords from sharp 8.
objects, excessive heat, and damp or
wet areas.
