Setup Instructions
13. Place the filter in the desired location and feed the hoses
to the top of the aquarium.
14. Assemble the inlet as shown in the overview.
15. Choose which outlet option you want to use. The elbow has
2 outlets which can be connected to 2 spray bars, 2 duckbill
outlets, one of each or one of the outlets can be covered with
Fig. 6
a cap (Fig. 6) to give a single outlet option. The spray bar can
be extended using the connector supplied. To provide sufficient
pressure for the extended spray bar it is highly recommended
that the second outlet be capped.
NOTE: If you are unsure about which outlet option is best
for your application, seek advice from your local aquarium
retailer.

16. Place the inlet and outlet at opposite ends of the aquarium,
this will ensure there is water movement through the full
length of the aquarium. Suctions cups should be used to hold
the intake and outlet pipes in place.
17. Connect each hose to the hosetail on one of the u-pipes.
The inlet u-pipe has 2 o-rings on the tank side (1200/1500 only)
whereas the outlet has none. The tap is marked "IN" and "OUT"
to indicate the inlet and outlet hose. The hose should be cut
to length ensuring there is sufficient slack on the hoses so that
they can be moved and the u-pipes can easily be removed from
the aquarium without having to disconnect the hose.
18. Ensure all connections are firmly in place and the taps are
open, the locking lever should be pressed down.
19. Ensure the power cable and plug are dry and connect to
the power outlet. Switch the outlet on.
20. The priming pump will run for approximately 40 seconds.
During this time, water should begin to flow through the filter
and you will see water flow from the outlet. If the filter is not
fully primed when the priming pump switches off it can be run
for another 40 seconds by pressing the "prime" button on the
top of the filter head. Fig. 7
NOTE: The aquarium must be filled with water for the filter
to prime.
