Electrical Precautions
Always use a properly grounded outlet. Do not immerse plug in water. Do not reach into water to remove plug. Turn off circuit first. A "Drip Loop" should be provided. The "Drip Loop" is a loop in the cord, below the level of the receptacle or plug that prevents water from traveling along the cord. The national Electric Code requires that a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) be installed in the branch circuit supplying fountain or pond equipment. This pump is intended to pump water only. It cannot be used to pump oils, solvents, or gasoline.

Warning: For your protection, always unplug the unit from its power source before installing or servicing. Should the unit appear to be not working, DO NOT reach, remove, or disassemble unit before you disconnect power.

Cleaning the Pump
Unplug the pump from electrical outlet. If pump cage is used, clear debris off pump cage. Look into impeller cover to see if impeller is clogged. Flush with fresh water. Tip: use garden hose nozzle. If still clogged, remove impeller cover, and carefully remove impeller assembly. Flush impeller and impeller cavity with water. Carefully reassemble pump, pump cage and pre-filters (if using).
