2. Safety Instructions
Please read and understand all safety instructions before operating this device. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
- Ensure the power supply voltage matches the pump's requirements (indicated on the product label).
- Do not immerse the pump in water. This product is not submersible.
- Always place the pump above the aquarium water level to prevent water backflow into the pump. If the pump must be placed below the water level, install a check valve (water stop valve) on the air tubing to prevent water from siphoning back.
- Unplug the pump from the power outlet before performing any maintenance, cleaning, or when handling aquarium water.
- Keep the power cord away from sharp objects, hot surfaces, and moving parts.
- Do not operate the pump if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

4. Setup Instructions
- Position the Pump: Place the ZY-997 oxygen pump on a stable, flat surface. Ensure it is positioned above the water level of your aquarium. If this is not possible, proceed to step 3.
- Connect Air Tubing: Attach one end of the air tubing to the air outlets on the pump. If using multiple air stones, use the provided air connections to split the air flow.
- Install Check Valve (if necessary): If the pump is placed below the aquarium water level, cut a section of the air tubing and insert a water stop valve (check valve) into the line. Ensure the check valve is oriented correctly to allow air flow towards the aquarium and prevent water backflow towards the pump.
- Attach Air Stones/Discs: Connect the other end of the air tubing to your air stones or air discs. Place the air stones/discs at the desired location within the aquarium.
- Secure Connections: Verify that all tubing connections are secure and free from kinks or leaks.
- Power Connection: Plug the pump's power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your oxygen pump.
- Cleaning Air Stones/Discs: Periodically remove and clean your air stones or air discs. Clogged diffusers can reduce air flow and put strain on the pump. Use a brush to remove algae or mineral buildup.
- Check Air Tubing: Inspect the air tubing regularly for kinks, cracks, or blockages. Replace any damaged tubing.
- Pump Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the pump with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure no water enters the pump's vents.
