Atlantic Water Gardens MD250 - Manual (Page 2)

Prior to Operation and Installation
• When the pump is delivered, first perform the following checks:
• Check for any damage to pump and power cable that may have occurred during
the shipment.
• Check the model number to make sure it is the product that was ordered and verify
the voltage and frequency are correct.
Caution
• DO NOT operate this product under any condition other than those for which it is
specified. Failure to observe this precaution can lead to electrical shock, electrical
leakage, fire, water leakage or other problems.
• The pump is a 110/120 volt 60 Hz pump, please only use with a power supply voltage
within 110-120 volt 60 Hz.
• Never place your hand or any object in or near the inlet opening while this equipment is
operating. If pump inlet is clogged, always turn off the power supply and wait until the
motor is completely stopped before attempting to remove any clogged material.
• Please make sure that the power plug and the AC outlet receptacle are protected and away
from water or pump discharge hose to prevent accidental electric shock or short circuit.
• Always operate the pump completely submerged in water.
• Avoid dry operation, which will not only lower performance but can cause the pump to
overheat/malfunction, leading to electrical leakage, shock or premature failure.
• Always turn off power or unplug the pump prior to performing any maintenance or
placing your hands into the water.
