INSTALLATION AND USE

To open the unit, unfasten the 2 buckles that are situated at the
front and back of the filter then lift the 2 levers that are attached to
the left and right sides of the motor head. On doing this the motor
head will lift away from the unit.
Take out the filter media secure plate and pull out the filter media
baskets using the handles provided. Using the baskets, rinse your
filter media under the tap until it runs clear. Once you have done
this you should place the baskets with filter media back inside the
filter with the filter media secure plate at the top. Before replacing
the motor head on the filter, fill your filter / full with water from
your aquarium. Place the motor head back on top of the unit, shut
both of the motor head levers down and fasten the buckles to the
side of the filter.
To attach the provided hoses to the filter, remove the hose adapter
by lifting the hose adapter securing buckle and pulling the adapter
out of the motor head. Install your hoses onto the Inlet and Outlet
connections on the hose adapter and secure them into place
using the plastic screw nuts. Push the hose adapter back into the
motor head and re-fasten it using the securing buckle.
Fit your hose to your aquarium so as the inlet hose is fitted to the
overflow pipe and the outlet hose is fitted to the spray bar as per
the image opposite. Please ensure your aquarium water level is
high enough to cover all inlet and outlet pipework connection
points, as otherwise you can let air into the filter system which will
stop it from priming properly.
Once you have your filter in place and its hoses securely attached
to your aquarium you are ready to prime the filter. Using the palm
of your hand, push the blue button directly on top of the motor
head as far down as it will allow you to and repeat if necessary
until the output hose has filled with water. You are now ready to
plug your external filter in.
