is used by or near children.

in use, before putting on or taking off parts and
before cleaning. NEVER yank a cord to remove the
plug from the receptacle. Grasp the plug and pull
to disconnect.
4. DO NOT use an aquarium air pump for other than

not recommended or sold by Gast Manufacturing
may cause an unsafe condition.
5. DO NOT install or store the air pump where it will be
exposed to the weather or to temperatures below
freezing.

WARNING
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING – Read and follow all safety instructions.
To guard against injury, basic safety precautions
should be observed.
DANGER – To avoid possible electrical shock,
special care should be taken since water is
employed in the use of aquarium equipment. If the
air pump, cord or plug are damaged in any way
whatsoever, DO NOT attempt repairs by yourself,
return the air pump to a Gast Authorized Service
Facility for inspection and repair.
Precautions for aquarium use:
1. If the air pump falls into the water, DO NOT reach
into the water to retrieve it.
2. Carefully examine the appliance after installation.
It should not be plugged into electrical power if there
is water found on any part of the pump.
3. DO NOT operate any air pump if it has a damaged
cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or has been
dropped or damaged in any manner.
4. To avoid the possibility of the air pump 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 above in the AQUARIUM
SETUP DIAGRAM, should be arranged by the user
for each cord connecting an aquarium air pump 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, which prevents water
travelling along the cord from coming into contact
with the receptacle.
5. If the plug or receptacle do get wet, DO NOT grasp
the plug to disconnect the air pump. Instead
disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker supplying
power to the receptacle. Then unplug the air pump
and examine for the presence of water on the plug
or receptacle.
