CAUTION:
Always unplug any appliances 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.
5. Re-assemble the unit
1. Stack the baskets, aligning them so all shapes match. Re-insert the T-handles into their vertical slots, and
lower the baskets into the filter canister. Foam in upper basket should be just about even with the top edge of
the canister.
2. Replace filter lid.
A. Inspect the lid gasket for wear and tear.
B. Place filter lid back on canister. There is only one orientation
possible. Gently press the lid down until the output tube, affixed to
the inside of the filter canister, is firmly seated in the output (OUT)
valve lid opening.
IMPORTANT:
If the inlet tube attached to the canister lid has slipped
out of its seat, be sure to fully re-insert it under the IN connection of
the lid.
3. Replace and hand-tighten the eight lid fasteners. The lid is
properly closed when it is in direct contact with the canister. DO
NOT USE ANY TOOLS, AS DOING SO MAY DAMAGE THE UNIT.
4. Place the IN and OUT valves back on the lid connectors and
press firmly until they click into place. Be sure the IN valve is
connected to the hose attached to the intake strainer, and the OUT
valve is connected to the hose attached to the output nozzle.
5. Open the IN valve (turn to vertical position).
6. With the IN valve already open, open the OUT valve. Do not
change this sequence, or the canister will not refill properly. If the
canister is no longer primed, see "Start the Filter".
7. You will be able to hear water filling the canister. Meanwhile,
air will be forced through the output nozzle, causing bubbling and
agitation in the aquarium. Once the bubbling in the aquarium stops,
plug the power cord back in. The pump will resume its normal stop/
start sequence as described in "Start the Filter."
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized
service representative.
