Introduction
Thank you for selecting Atlantic's Typhoon TA400/TA800 Air Pump. Before using this air pump
please take a moment to review this manual.
This pump is designed to pump air. The oil-free, double damping air pump system produces
a large volume of air at low watts and noise. The weather-proof gasketed outer housing cover
shields the compressor from the elements in an outdoor application. Atlantic's Typhoon Air
Pump may be used in a variety of water related applications including oxygenation of ponds
and aquariums and de-icing of outdoor ponds. To avoid an accident, do not use the pump in
any way other than as described in this manual. Please note the manufacturer cannot be
responsible for accidents arising because the product was not used as prescribed. After
reading this manual keep it as a reference in case questions arise during use.
