Solution

Clean seal areas and spray lightly with EHEIM-silicon grease spray
Order No. 4001000.
Insert sealing ring correctly or renew.
Solution
Check the pre-filter flap for pollution and, if required, clean it. The
pre-filter flap must be unobstructed.
Empty prefilter and repeat priming. Priming only works when the
prefilter is empty.
Solution
Check lever setting and adjust.
Remove safety adapter; open shut-off lever and clean openings with
cleaning brush (Order No. 4005570).
Check that there are no kinks or marked narrowing of cross-section.
Clean hose installation at regular intervals by drawing a universal
cleaning brush (Order No. 4005570) through the suction channels
and pressure channel or suction pipes and nozzle tube.
Squeeze the suction pipe that is filled with water
together with your fingers until the other suction pipe
has filled with water.
Remove coarse dirt, clean strainer.
Clean filter media.
Never put long-term filter media in net bags or nylon stockings. This
leads to a drastic reduction in pump performance within a short time.
When cleaning, remove the filter media from the filter media basket
and rinse through with lukewarm water.
Check that filter media have been assembled in the recommended
layers for filtering. Fill bottom filter insert to just under edge with
EHEIM MECH. Fill next two filter inserts with SUBSTRAT, also to just
under edge. Never place white filter pad under the handle.
After inserting the top filter insert, push in the handle and lay the
white filter pad on top.
