WARNING: To guard against injury, basic safety precautions
should be observed, including the following.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER - To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be
taken in the use of aquarium equipment. For each of the following
situations, do not attempt repairs yourself. Return the appliance to
an authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance.
1. A. If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water
leakage, immediately unplug it from the power source.
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.
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. A "drip loop,"
shown in the figure at right, 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 from traveling along the cord
and coming in contact with the recep-
tacle. 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.
2.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is
used by or near children.
3.
To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts
such as heaters, reflectors, lamp bulbs, etc.
4.
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.
5.
Do not use an appliance for other than intended use.
