Reassemble Unit
1. Stack the baskets, aligning them so all shapes match. Reinsert the
T-handles into their vertical slots, and replace the baskets in the filter
canister. Foam in upper basket should be just about even with the top
edge of the canister.
2. Replace filter lid.
a. Inspect the lid gasket for wear and tear.
b. Place filter lid back on canister. There is only one orientation
possible. Gently press the lid down until the output tube, affixed to the
inside of the filter canister, is firmly seated in the output (OUT) valve lid
opening.
Important:
If the inlet tube attached to the canister lid has slipped out of
its seat, be sure to fully re-insert it under the IN connection of the lid.
3. Replace and hand-tighten the eight lid fasteners. The lid is properly closed when it is in direct
contact with the canister. DO NOT USE ANY TOOLS, AS DOING SO MAY DAMAGE THE UNIT.
4. Place the IN and OUT valves back on the lid connectors and press firmly until they click
into place. Be sure the IN valve is connected to the hose
attached to the intake strainer, and the OUT valve is
connected to the hose attached to the output nozzle.
5. Open the IN valve (turn to vertical position).
6. With the IN valve already open, open the OUT valve.
Do not change this sequence, or the canister will not refill
properly. If the canister is no longer primed, you will need
to remove the lid, pour about 8 liters (2 gallons) of water
into the canister, and replace the lid. (See "Start the Filter"
Step #7)
7. You will be able to hear water filling the canister.
Meanwhile, air will be forced through the output nozzle,
causing bubbling and agitation in the aquarium. Once the
bubbling in the aquarium stops, plug the power cord back
in. The pump will resume its normal stop/start sequence as
described in "Start the Filter."
8. Remember the date of your last filter maintenance/water
change by simply rotating the Monthly Indicator Dials
(located on the filter cover) to line up with the current
month.
