IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
- To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
Always disconnect the pump when not in use, before adding
or removing parts and before cleaning.
- Do not allow the filter to run dry. UV-C CLARIFIER can be installed both
immersed in water and out of water.
- This appliance is to be used in a circuit protected by a ground fault circuit
interrupter.
WARNING:
- To reduce the risk of electric shock, install only on a circuit
protected by a Ground - Fault Circuit - Interrupter (GFCI).
- This appliance has not been investigated for use in swimming pool or
marine areas.
- To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since
water is employed in the use of pond 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) Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it
doesn't work properly or has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
2) To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet,
position the filter to one side of a wall-mounted receptacle to prevent water
from dripping onto the receptacle or plug.
A "drip-loop" (Fig. A) should be arranged by the user for each cord
connecting a pond filter appliance to a receptacle. The "drip-loop" is the part
of the cord below the level of the receptacle or the connector if an extension
cord is used, which prevents water travelling along the cord and coming in
contact with the receptacle.
If the plug or socket does get wet, DON'T unplug the cord. Disconnect the
fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to appliance. Then unplug and
examine for presence of water in the receptacle.
3) Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by near
children.
4) To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as heaters,
reflectors, lamp bulbs and similar.
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
manufacturer of the appliance, may cause an unsafe condition.
7) Do not install or store the appliances where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing.
8) Make sure an appliance used in a pond is securely installed before operating it.
9) Read and observe all the important notices of 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.
11) This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than 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
Fig. A - DRIP LOOP
electrician. Never use with an extension cord unless plug can be fully inserted. Do no attempt to defeat this safety
feature.
SUBMERGED USE
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
gounding 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 (II). A temporary adapter which
looks like the adapter illustrated in (III) and (IV) below may be used to
connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle as shown in (III) if a grounded
outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until 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.
