To take the filter into operation, set it up in the cabinet of Formosa 50 and connect it according to
Fig. 2. It is important to pay attention to the correct position of all hoses and sealings since otherwise
the aquarium drains dry.
When the filter is connected to the aquarium, the tube sealings of the valves must be tightened. The
pot filter and all tube connections have to be checked for leaking and proper fit before the valves are
opened. The pot filter automatically runs full of water. Afterwards, the pump can be started, it must
not run dry for a longer time.
The filter may only be operated in an upright position. To clean the filter, the pump has to be
unplugged. Then, both valves (Fig. 2, No. 6) have to be closed. The filter has to be put into a suitable
bucket, the tube sealings of both valves have to be released by turning them and then the tubes can
be pulled of the connecting piece. Keep the tubes as straight as possible over the bucket to avoid
water damage to the cabinet. Water splashes should be removed with a cloth immediately.
If the valves aren't closed at the aquarium, there is a risk that the aquarium will be completely
emptied into the cabinet. Therefore, it is also essential to ensure that the lid's sealing (Fig. 5, No.
10) is inserted correctly and the lid closes tightly when operating the pot filter. The retaining brackets
of the clamps (Fig. 5, No. 16) have to be put over the grooves of the lid (Fig. 5, No. 9) and the spring
locks have to be pressed firmly to the filter housing.
