INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following:
a)
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
b) DANGER – To avoid possible electric 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 by
yourself; return the appliance to an authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance:
1) If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it from the
power source. (Immersible equipment only)
SAVE THESE
2) Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on
parts not intended to be wet.
3) Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or has
been dropped or damaged in any manner.
4) 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,” shown
in the figure below, should be arranged by the user for each cord connecting an aquarium appliance to a receptacle. The “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 traveling
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.
c) Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
d) To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as heaters, reflectors, lamp bulbs,
and the like.
e) 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.
f) 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.
g) Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures
below freezing.
h) Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before operating it.
i) Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.
j) 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.
k) This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Pump must be used submersed, down to a maximum depth of 24”. When water depth is low, always place the screen side down. The
pump is intended to pump water only. It cannot be used to pump oil, solvents, or gasoline. DO NOT RUN PUMP DRY.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance should be grounded to minimize the possibility of electric shock.
This appliance is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment grounding
conductor and a grounding type plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is installed and grounded in accordance with all appropriate codes and
ordinances. This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a
grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in (A) below. A temporary
adapter which looks like the adapter illustrated in (B) and (C) below may be
used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle as shown in (B) if a grounded
outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored
rigid ear (lug, and the like) extending from the adapter must be fastened to a
permanent ground such as a grounded outlet box.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
The pump cover should occasionally be removed to clean and inspect the foam prefilter and impeller assembly. Rinse or replace foam
prefilter as needed. The impeller is the only serviceable item and can be pulled out of the body . Do not take the impeller apart. If it is worn or
broken the entire impeller assembly should be replaced. This will restore the pump to original capacity. Pumps taken out of service for an
extended period with fluid inside run the risk of forming a crust which may prevent subsequent starting. Saltwater should be flushed out with
fresh water. Magnet impeller assembly must be routinely cleaned to remove accumulations of scale or calcium. This procedure should be
done at least once every three months - or more often if the water conditions
require it. Salt water and hard water environments require more frequent cleaning.
Pondmaster® PUMPGUARDTM WATER PUMP MAINTENANCE SOLUTION (sold separately)
will instantly loosen scale, lime, rust and other detritus from moving parts and impeller
chamber. Most build-up can be removed without disassembling the pump.
Always check cord for sharp bends which can cause premature cracking. Do not
use power cord to lift or move pump. Other than Impeller maintenance, this appliance has no user serviceable parts.
CAUTION: PONDS CAN BE DANGEROUS TO SMALL CHILDREN.
NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN UNSUPERVISED NEAR A POND.
