5. Complete the canister cover assembly:
a. Lay the canister cover on a flat surface with its top
side down. Remove the lubricated rubber gasket from
its plastic bag. To seal the cover opening properly, the
gasket must be moist but it need not be wet. Carefully
fit the gasket into the channel around the base of the
cover.
b. Position the impeller cover over the impeller. Align the
shaft so it is seated in the ring on the cover; push down around the
entire circumference of the edge until the tabs "click" into the locked
position.
6. Place the cover on the canister. Be sure to position it properly. There is
only one orientation possible. Make certain that the MSF logo on the cover
and canister is aligned and that the power cord fits into the notch on the rim
of the canister.
7. Lock the cover in place. Push the double tabs of the lift-lock clamps
under the rim; then press the upper tabs firmly against the cover.
DO NOT FILL THE CANISTER WITH WATER
8. Place the unit in its final position inside the cabinet.
9. Insert the Aquastop valve into the intake and output
connectors on the cover and push down on the silver lever
to lock it in place.
10. Keep the Aquastop valves closed with the black lever
all the way up.
11. DO NOT PLUG THE FILTER IN NOW. The Filter is
ready for start-up, but it can be started only after all
aquarium accessories have been installed and the
aquarium is filled with water. For the filter start-up,
Please refer to instruction manual included within the
filter box for more information.
SECTION #3
INSTALLING THE AQUARIUM HEATER
HEATER INSTALLATION
Positioning the heater
The Aquarium heater must be positioned to allow free circulation of water
around the glass heater tube. Generally, the heater should be placed at
the rear of the aquarium, preferably near a source of water movement to
ensure even and thorough distribution of warmed water. Be sure there are
no rocks, decorations or gravel obstructing or touching the heater, as they
will cause uneven heating in the glass tube and weaken it.
CAUTION - Water level must be maintained to the level indication on the
glass heater tube. Always maintain the water level in the aquarium to compensate for water loss due to evaporation.
Heater preparation
1. Set the heater to the appropriate temperature using the Numbered Temperature Dial.
2. Position the heater in the aquarium with the heater mounting bracket attached. Press suction cups firmly against
glass to adhere to the aquarium wall.
3. DO NOT PLUG IN NOW. The Heater is now ready for the start-up, but it can be started only after the
installation of all aquarium accessories has been completed and the tank is full of water. For Heater start-up
please refer to instruction manual included on the heater card.
