Product Specifications

Instructions

1. Figure 1: Shows the air pump connected to an air stone via an air tube.
2. Figure 2: Illustrates the connection of the air pump, air tube, and connector.
3. Figure 3: Depicts the air pump, air tube, connector, check valve, and bubble stone. The check valve should be installed with the arrow pointing towards the bubble stone.
4. Place the air pump at a height of 25cm (9.8 inches) above the water surface to prevent water splashing onto the pump. A check valve is not required in this configuration.
5. If the air pump is placed below the water level, a check valve must be installed to prevent water from flowing back into the pump and causing damage.

Attentions

• Please read and follow this user manual carefully and strictly.
• Install the air pump with check valves or position it at least 25cm (9.8 inches) higher than the water surface to prevent water backflow and potential damage.
• Place the air pump on a flat surface and use a towel underneath to further reduce sound.
• Keep the air pump away from water as it is not waterproof.
• Keep the air pump away from flammable items to avoid accidents.
• Unplug the power and contact the seller if the air pump makes abnormal sounds, overheats, or has no air output.
• OPENING WILL VOID WARRANTY
• Soak air stones for 1-2 hours before first use for optimal bubble production.
• Airflow loss is often caused by clogged air stones due to algae, debris, or mineral deposits. Try blowing through the air stone; if difficult, replace it.
• Unplug the power before performing any maintenance.
• The operating temperature range for the air pump is between 33.8°F~95°F (1℃~35℃).
• The maximum water depth for the attached air stone is 5.9ft (1.8m).

WARNING

To avoid electric shock, do not immerse the pump in water. If the pump falls into water or gets wet, do not touch it until unplugged. Basic safety precautions include:

Caution: To prevent possible electrical shock from water back-siphoning, use the pump with a check valve or position it higher than the tank's water level.

• Read and follow this user manual strictly.
• DANGER: To avoid electric shock, exercise special care as water is used with aquarium equipment. Do not attempt to repair yourself in case of the following situations; instead, return the pump to an authorized service facility for maintenance or discard it.
• A. If the pump falls into water, do not touch it. First unplug it, then retrieve it. If electrical components get wet, unplug the pump immediately.
• B. Carefully examine the pump after installation. Do not plug it in if water is present on parts not intended to be wet.
• C. Do not operate the pump if it has a damaged cord or plug, is malfunctioning, dropped, or damaged. The power cord cannot be replaced; if damaged, the pump should be discarded.
• D. To prevent the pump plug from getting wet, position the aquarium and its stand to the side of a wall-mounted outlet to avoid water dripping onto the outlet or plug. Arrange a "drip loop" for each cord connecting the pump to the outlet. If an extension cord is used, the "drip loop" is the part of the cord below the outlet or connector level that prevents water from traveling along the cord to the outlet. If the plug or outlet gets wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse to the circuit breaker supplying power to the pump. Then, unplug and examine the outlet for water. If unsure, consult a certified electrician.

POWER CORD

• Close supervision is necessary when the pump is used near children.
• To avoid injury, do not contact moving or hot parts.
• Always unplug the pump from the outlet when not in use, before attaching/removing parts, during maintenance, or when placing hands in the water. Never yank the cord to pull the plug; grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
• Do not use the pump for purposes other than intended. Using attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause unsafe conditions and void the warranty.
• Do not install or store the pump in extreme weather or temperatures below freezing. The pump is suitable for water temperatures between 40~95°F.
• Ensure the pump is securely installed before operating.
• Read and observe all important notices on the pump.
• If an extension cord is necessary, use one with a proper rating (e.g., amperes or watts). A cord rated lower than the pump may overheat. Arrange the cord to prevent tripping or pulling.
• The pump is intended FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
• SAVE THIS USER MANUAL.
