• CAUTION:
THIS AIR PUMP IS TO BE USED IN A CIRCUIT PROTECTED BY A GROUND FAULT
CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER.
• WARNING:
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK - THIS PUMP IS SUPPLIED WITH A GROUNDING CONDUCTOR
AND GROUNDING-TYPE ATTACHMENT PLUG. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
BE CERTAIN THAT IT IS CONNECTED ONLY TO A PROPERLY GROUNDED, GROUNDING
TYPE RECEPTACLE.
Electrical Safety
• Electrical wiring should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all
applicable safety regulations. Incorrect wiring can lead to pump malfunction, electrical
shock or fire.
• Air Pumps must be protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
• Air Pumps must be plugged into a standard, properly grounded, three pronged outlet.
Safety Instructions
ATTENTION
Typhoon air pumps are NOT submersible, and must be
placed in a secure area away from the water’s edge.
• If the pump falls into the water, do not reach for it. First unplug the air pump or
disconnect the power supply and then retrieve the pump. Let a qualified
technician inspect the pump if immersion occurs.
• Do not lift, lower or handle the pump by pulling on the electrical cord. Make sure the
electrical cable does not become excessively bent or twisted and does not rub against a
structure in a way that might damage it.
• The submersible pump should not be used if the electrical supply cable is damaged in
any way. If a cable with damaged insulation is submerged in water, there is danger of
water seeping into the pump motor and causing a short. Altering the electrical
cable in any way will void the warranty.
Installation
Pump Placement
The following factors must be considered when choosing a location for the air pump.
• Typhoon Air Pumps feature weather-proof aluminum housings for outdoor use.
However, installation in a dry, well-ventilated area will further prolong the service life of
the air pump.
• Typhoon Air Pumps must be placed on a flat, stable surface above the water level of
the pond.
