2. Important Safety Instructions

To reduce the risk of injury, observe the following safety precautions:

• Read all instructions carefully before using the appliance.
• DANGER – To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is used in the use of this 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.
• If the appliance falls into water, DO NOT reach for it. First, unplug it and then retrieve it. If electrical components get wet, unplug the appliance immediately.
• If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it from the power source.
• Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
• 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.
• 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" should be arranged by the user for each cord connecting an aquarium appliance to a receptacle. The "drip loop" is the 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 into contact with the receptacle. If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DO NOT 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.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as heaters, reflector, lamp bulbs, and the like.
• 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.
• Do not use an appliance for other than intended use. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
• Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing.
• Ensure the appliance is securely installed before operating it.
• Read and observe all important notices on the appliance.
• If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used. A cord rated for less amperes or watts than the appliance rating may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.

4. Setup Instructions

4.1 Attaching Nozzles and Hoses

The pump comes with four nozzles of varying diameters (0.7", 0.87", 0.98", 0.98") to accommodate different hose sizes. Choose the appropriate nozzle for your application.

1. Select the desired nozzle.
2. Take out the rubber ring from the connector.
3. Clamp the rubber ring into the interface gap of the connector.
4. Tighten the connector onto the pump's outlet.
5. Ensure tightness both inside and outside.
6. Connect your hose to the nozzle.
7. Loosen the outer protective shell to secure the tube if necessary.

4.2 Pump Placement and Mode Selection

The pump can be placed vertically or horizontally using its four strong suction cups. It offers two primary modes: side suction and bottom suction.

• Side Suction Mode: For general water circulation and filtration. Attach the side suction inlet.
• Bottom Suction Mode: For fast water changes or cleaning bottom debris. Attach the low-level intake. This mode can drain water down to 0.4 inches (1 cm).

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Powering On and Flow Adjustment

Once the pump is correctly installed and submerged, plug it into a suitable power outlet. The pump will begin operating.

To adjust the water flow rate, pressure, and lift, rotate the built-in knob on the side suction inlet. This allows for fine-tuning the pump's performance to suit your specific needs.

5.2 Using Low Suction Mode for Water Changes and Cleaning

For efficient water changes or thorough cleaning of bottom debris, utilize the low suction mode. This mode allows the pump to draw water down to a minimum level of 0.4 inches (1 cm), effectively removing fish waste, impurities, and silt from the tank bottom.
