Before you fit the pump head, biologically activate the filter material with JBL FilterStart
cleansing bacteria (available at your specialist retailer), as follows: Empty the complete con-
tents of the required number of bottles of JBL FilterStart over both of the pre-filter materials
in the combi-filter basket.
Number of bottles of JBL FilterStart:
Put the pump head back on the filter container and close the fastening clips.
Note: The filter baskets are interchangeable, however the combi-filter basket can only be
fitted last. The pump head can be turned by 180° in any direction.
Tip: Always open and close clips positioned opposite each other to prevent unnecessary
wear on the canister seal and to ensure a good fit when closing the filter canister.

Attaching the hose connection block and hoses
Turn the two small stopcock levers on the pump head to the position opposite the "OPEN"
mark (●), so that the groove in the base of the lever points vertically upwards.
Place the hose connection block with the middle lever pointing upwards into the pump
head and press it down firmly.
To fasten, press the middle lever down and turn the two small stopcock levers into the
"OPEN" position. Now the ball valves integrated in the hose connection block are open and
the hose connection block cannot be removed even if the middle lever is raised (safety
lock).
Push each hose onto a hose connection and turn the nut anti-clockwise until the hose fits
firmly.

Positioning the filter
The filter can now be positioned in the intended place for use e.g. in the aquarium cabinet
or similar. Attention must be paid to the following: if the filter is to be housed in the cabinet,
the distance in height between the surface of the water and the bottom of the filter must
not exceed 180 cm max. If the filter is located next to the aquarium, the distance between
the surface of the water and the top of the filter must be at least 20 cm.
CAUTION: the filter should always be operated in an upright position!

Attaching pipes and hoses
Place the intake strainer on the end of the suction pipe and attach it to the inside of the
aquarium using the suction cups and hose clips. Use short or long clips depending on the
design of the aquarium edge. Pull out the telescopic pipe so that the intake strainer is about
5 cm above the base of the aquarium.
Connect the water outlet pipe, angle piece and spray bar together, as required, and attach
