foot/feet so that the cabinet is level in the middle front
to back. You should be able to slightly rock the cabinet
from side to side as the outer 4 feet should not have
weight on them.
Now check the level along the length of the cabinet, you
should be able to tip the cabinet so that it is level. If the
outer feet touch the floor before it reaches the level then
you need to go back a step and extend both centre
feet further.
Adjust the four corner feet so that the cabinet is level
along the length at both the front and the back by
extending the feet down. Check the front to back
level at both ends and the middle then make any fine
adjustments, as necessary. Check the level in both
planes on the base of the cabinet and that the centre
legs are still touching the floor.
Cabinet is lower at one side
Start by ensuring that the feet on the high end are fully
screwed up into the cabinet. Level the cabinet front to
back on the outer feet on the high end then adjust the
two centre feet so that the cabinet is level front to back
and along the length. Finally screw down the feet on the
low end of the cabinet to touch the floor. Check the level
on the base of the cabinet and that the centre legs are
still touching the floor.
Install the Tank and Sump
After installing the tank and sump, but before filling,
check the level again by placing the spirit level along
the edges of the tank and make any fine adjustments, as
necessary. Fill the tank and sump and again check that
the floor has not compressed or settled with the weight
and adjust if necessary. Check again after 2-3 days and
fine adjust if necessary. Ensure that the locking nuts on
the feet are screwed up tight against the cabinet.
STEP 3 INSTALLING THE PIPEWORK, FILTERS
& OVERFLOW
The pipework and weir system has been specially
designed for installation without any further cutting or
specialist tools.
Fitting the Tank Connectors
The tank connectors can be installed with the tank in
position however it is much harder to tighten up the
nuts on the bottom. It is for this reason we recommend
that, with assistance, you slide the tank so that the weir
box hangs over the end of the cabinet, giving you clear
access for installation.
