IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
A) READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING WARNING -
WARNING -
PUMP INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
DANGER -
To guard against injury, basic safety precautions
should be observed, including the following:
A). FOR INDOOR AND HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
B). TO PREVENT POSSIBLE ELECTRIC SHOCK RESULTING FROM WATER BACK
SIPHONING, PUMP SHOULD BE LOCATED HIGHER THAN WATER LEVEL.
To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is employed in the
use of aquarium and 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.
I. If the appliance falls into the water, DON’T reach for it! First unplug it and then retrieve it. If
electrical components of the appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately.
II. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is
water on parts not intended to be wet.
III. 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.
IV. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or
receptacle getting wet, position the 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 gure 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 from 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
the presence of water in the receptacle.
 Please read this operating instruction manual thoroughly and keep it for reference.
 The pump is not designed to work submerged, so do not place the pump into water.
 Always securely position the pump higher than water level. This will prevent water from
entering the pump housing through the air hose if power is interrupted.
 Avoid sharp turns that can cause kinks in airline tubing as it may cause excessive back
pressure and decrease air flow.
 The AP-4 and AP-8 are supplied with variable output control knob on the top of the
pump. The air output can be regulated by turning the control knob.
