Installation
C
Fit the lid of the filter media container, close it by turning clockwise and
place into the filter canister. Put on the pump head and examine the o-
ring for correct fitting. Close the clips.
D
Place filter underneath aquarium – it must be below water level.
E / F Fit outlet pipe as per drawing A or B.
G
Assemble suction pipe and strainer and attach to side of aquarium with
2 suction cups and fit hose connections to filter: suction side on bot-
tom intake nozzle, pressure side on pump head. Fasten hoses with
clamping nut (drawing K).
Putting into operation
There are 3 ways to prime the filter. 1) With the starter bulb (order no.
4003540), 2) with the Universal Installation Kit 1 (see G
4004300) or 3) by sucking the hose on the pressure side. Connect the
pressure side hose to the spray bar while the filter fills with water. The
pump can be switched on when water has filled the filter, and for a
short time while trapped air is exhausted from the filter media a slight
noise from the pump will be heard (this is normal). Fit the plug into the
end of the spray bar after all the air bubbles have disappeared.
Important: When the filter media need cleaning or changing and the fil-
ter is taken away from the aquarium, please note the following points
1)
The filter must have no water in it when reconnecting to the aquarium.
2)
The pressure hose to the spray bar must be drained of water and the
tap (if fitted) left open.
3)
After connections are made the tap on the suction side can be opened
(it holds the syphon). Water will flow into the filter expelling all air out
of the spray bar, eliminating air locks and ensuring a perfect prime.
Servicing and maintenance
H / I Pull out mains plug. Release locking piece on pump head and remove
pump parts as per drawing. Lift out cooling channel insert (I) with
screwdriver. Clean all parts and then reassemble in the reverse order.
Note: All hose connections must be checked at regular intervals for
correct fitting.
Attention: The impeller blades must rotate free on the impeller, and the
impeller must spin freely on the ceramic shaft, so that the pump starts
without trouble.
