WARNING: To provide continued protection
against risk of electric shock, connect to properly
grounded, ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)

grounded receptacle outlet, acceptable for outdoor
use and protected from snow and rain.
(B) Inspect cord before using.

(D) Any wiring of pumps should be performed by a
qualified electrician to ensure code compliance
and user safety.

and junction connections should be made per local
codes. Requirements may vary depending on usage

avoid punctures, cuts, bruises and abrasions.
(H) Never handle power cords with wet hands.
(I) Do not remove cord and strain relief. Do not connect

INSTALLATION
• Always operate the pump fully submerged; or if using
in-line ensure a constant source of fresh water. Failure to
do so may overheat the pump and cause it to fail, voiding
the warranty.
• Use only in fully assembled state, paying particular attention
to ensure that both the outer and inner filter screens are
attached to the pump. Failure to operate the pump without
the filter screen will allow large debris to enter the pump and
cause the pump to fail, voiding the warranty.
• Do not wear loose clothing that may become entangled
in the impeller or other moving parts.
• Keep clear of suction and discharge openings.
DO NOT insert fingers in pump with power connected.
• Do not pump hazardous materials or liquids other than
water, such as oil or organic solvents.
• Do not block or restrict discharge.
• Products returned must be cleaned, sanitized, or
decontaminated, as necessary, prior to shipment to
ensure that employees will not be exposed to health
hazards in handling said material. All applicable laws
and regulations shall apply.
IMPORTANT: Aquascape, Inc. is not responsible
for losses, injury, or death resulting from a failure
to observe these safety precautions, misuse or
abuse of pumps or equipment.
