USER MANUAL 3146 EHEIM

WARNING – To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following. INSTRUCTIONS 1046 / 3146a) READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS b) DANGER – To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is employed in the use of aquarium equipment. For each of the following situations, do not attempt repairs by yourself; return the ap- pliance to an authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance.

1) 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)

2) If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, imme-

diately unplug it from the power source. (Immersible equipment only).

3) Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be

plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.

4) Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it

is malfunctioning or has been dropped or damaged in any manner.

5) To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet,

position aquarium stand and tank to one side of a wall-mounted recep- tacle to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. A ”drip-loop”, shown in the figure, should be arranged by the user for each cord connecting an aquarium appliance 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, to prevent water traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle. If the plug or socket 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. DRIP LOOP

c) Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. d) To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as heaters, reflectors, lamp bulbs, and the like. e) Always unplug an appliance from an outlet 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. f) Do not use an appliance for other than intended use. The use of at- tachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition. g) Do not install or store the appliances where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing. h) Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before operating it.GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This appliance should be grounded to minimize the possibility of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding-type plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all appropriate codes and ordinances. This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 V circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A. A temporary adapter which looks like the adapter illustrated in Sketches B and C, may be used to con- nect this plug to a two pole receptacle as shown in Sketch B if a properly grounded outlet ist not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear (lug, etc.) extending from the adapter must be fastened to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. COVER OF GROUNDED OUTLET BOX GROUNDING PIN

i) Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.

j) 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. k) This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use with an extension cord unless plug can be fully inserted. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. Exception: This instruction may be omitted for an appliance that is not provided with a polarized attachment plug. l) ”SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS”. (B) (D) WARNING! Risk of electric shock. This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attach- ment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle, in a circuit protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter.Safety instructions All electrical equipment in the water must be disconnected from the mains during care and maintenance work. The connecting line of this device can not be replaced. When the line is da- maged, the device must no longer be used. Never carry the pump by the cable; do not bend the cable. The pumps may only be used in garden ponds and their area of protection if installed according to prevailing regulations. As a means of protection against overly high shock hazard voltage, the installation must show a leakage current safety guard with a rated residual current of no more than 30 mA. Please con- sult your electrician. This equipment is not intended for use by persons (including children) with li- mited physical, sensory or mental abilities or for persons with no experience or knowledge unless they are supervised by a person responsible for safety or unless they have received from such a person instructions on how to use the equipment. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the equipment. Notice: These divices produce magnetic fields which might cause electronic and mechanical disturbances or damages. This also re- fers to pacemakers. Please consult the manuals of medical equipment for the required safety margins. Attention: Maintenance work presents the risk of crushing the fingers due to high magnetic forces. Do not dispose of this product as normal household waste. Take it to your local refuse collection site. The product is qualified in accordance with the respective national regulations and guidelines and meets EC standards.

cap. The pump can be used both in and out of the water. It is not self-priming and to operate, must therefore be positioned on the outside of the tank – below the water level. Putting into operation To make it operate, suck briefly at the end of the pressure hose, until water flows to the pump. Do not insert power supply plug until you have done this. A brief noise when the pump starts up is normal. There are several alternatives for using the hobby pump; when used out of theServicing and maintenance D/E Remove power supply plug. Remove suction grille (squeeze sides lightly) and rinse coarse filter under running water. If water is badly contaminated, clean filter more frequently. If pump is badly contaminated on suction or pressure side, this will simply lead to noise – time for a thorough cleaning. Release pump cover (D) and remove pump parts as per drawing (A). Clean pump vigorously with set of EHEIM cleaning brushes (order no. 4009570) as shown in fig. E: Clean pump parts under running water and reassemble in same sequence. Function
