Check to ensure that the sealing gasket on the pump head
of the filter is not soiled and that it is properly placed into
its groove.
Place the pump head onto the filter canister so that the in-
put connector of the pump head is lined up with the input
guide of the media containers. Close all four EZ clips.
ATTENTION:
Before the integrated dou-
ble tap connector is inser-
ted into the pump head of
the filter, examine all three
o-rings for damage and cor-
rect fitting. Lightly grease
the o-rings with Vaseline to
help installation.
Insert the integrated double tap connector with the locking
clamp in an upright position into the opening on the pump
head. To fasten the locking clamp into its sealed position
push the handle downwards.
Tubing installation
Shut off the integrated double tap connector by shifting the
two levers to the O
onto the intake and output openings of the integrated dou-
ble tap connector as far as they will go. Since this can be a
relatively difficult task, soak the hoses in warm water befo-
rehand to make them softer.
It is very important to use original EHEIM hoses only.
Place the two-part hose clamp around the installed hoses,
hang into the proper position and clip into place.
Place the now ready-to-use filter into the lower cabinet of your
aquarium stand and observe the prescribed installation
height: between water surface and base of filter there should
be max. 180 cm (5'11'') in order to attain optimum functioning.
