Regulatory Information
• This product carries an ingress protection rating of IPX0 and must not be immersed in water.
• Danger: To avoid possible electrical shock, special care should be taken since water is employed in the use of
aquarium equipment.
• DO NOT attempt repairs yourself; return the appliance to the manufacturer for service or discard.
• DO NOT immerse in water. If the appliance falls into the water, DON’T reach for it! First unplug it and then retrieve it.
If electrical components of the appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately (non-immersible equipment only).
• Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended
to be wet.
• The pump’s motor housing and Driver are NOT WATERPROOF; water can permanently damage them. This damage IS
NOT covered under warranty. Protect these components from splashes, drips, or other contact with water.
• Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or if it is dropped or damaged
in any manner. The power cord of this appliance cannot be replaced: If the cord is damaged, the appliance should be
discarded. Never cut the cord. DO NOT DROP. The VorTech Pump is fragile, and a fall onto a hard surface can result in
permanent damage. Damage may include cracking of the ceramic axle within the Wet Side or a loud Dry Side. Damage
from dropping IS NOT covered under warranty.
• 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 employed for each cord connecting an aquarium appliance to a receptacle.
A “drip-loop” is the part of the cord below the level of the receptacle (or the connector if an extension cord), to prevent
water from travelling along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle. If the plug or receptacle does get wet,
DON’T unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance, then unplug and
examine for presence of water in the receptacle.
• Close supervision is necessary when an appliance is used by or near children. Keep out of reach of young children.
• To avoid injury, do not contact moving or hot parts such as heaters, reflectors, lamp bulbs, and the like.
• Always unplug appliance from outlet and battery backup 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 appliance for other than intended use. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer
may cause an unsafe condition.
• Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to weather or to temperatures below freezing.
• Make sure appliance is securely installed before operating it. Read and observe all the 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.
• This appliance utilizes extremely powerful magnets that can cause severe personal injury.
• NEVER place either half of this device near magnetically attractive surfaces or sensitive electronics.
• The motor and driver can become HOT. Be cautious around these surfaces.
• DO NOT stick fingers or anything else into the propeller. NEVER connect the two halves of this device without using
the proper spacer.
