6. Before connecting the unit to the power receptacle,
check to insure there is no leakage to ground. This can
be done by using an ohm meter and setting the scale to
its highest setting (i.e. Rx100K). Connect one ohmmeter
lead to the unit power cord ground (round prong) and
to one of the flat prongs. It should read infinite or at
least 2 mega ohms. Repeat with the other prong. If
reading is below 2 mega ohms on either prong contact
Customer Service Help Line listed at bottom of page.
7. Do Not Operate System on an Extension Cord. If no
power is accessible at the pond, contract a licensed
electrician to install the proper power supply in
accordance with National Electric Code and all
applicable local codes and ordinances.
8. After installing the unit, checking ground and
connecting power to the unit, the unit can be powered
up. Check operation of the GFI by pushing the “Test”
button, the unit should stop. Pushing the “Reset” button
should restart the unit. If pressing the “test” button
does not stop the unit, immediately shut off power to
unit and contact Customer Service Help Line listed at
bottom of page.
