Install Intake Tube; Replace Cover And Set Flow Control; Start Your Emperor; Adjust Bio-Wheel Rotation - Marineland Emperor Owner's Manual

STEP 6: INSTALL INTAKE TUBE
The Tube Guides on either side of
the Intake Tube slide into the Tube
Slots of the Flow Manifold Housing.
This holds the Intake Tube securely in
place (Figure 4). Be sure that Tube fits
securely in Housing Collar. Once in
place, Intake Tube should not wobble.
Note: If Intake Tube is not properly
seated, filter will not operate.
STEP 7: ADD WATER
Pour water into Filter Box until
approximately half full.
IMPORTANT:
NEVER allow the Emperor System to operate without water at any time.
STEP 8: REPLACE COVER AND SET
FLOW CONTROL
Make sure One-Touch Control is in "full
flow" (extreme "up") position. (Figure 5).
IMPORTANT: To prevent wasteful
overloading of Emperor Cartridge with
fish food, reduce water flow by simply
pressing down on the Flow Control.
This will not affect BIO-Wheel rotation
or compromise biological filtration.
After feeding, be sure to return Flow
Control to "up" position.

STEP 9: START YOUR EMPEROR
Creating a Drip Loop (see pg.2-3), plug cord into standard receptacle. Filter will
make a bubbling sound as air is evacuated from Intake Tube. Once the air is gone
(approximately 40 seconds), the filter will fill and water will begin to flow back
into aquarium.Water flow through Spray Bar(s) will initiate rotation of BIO-Wheel(s).
NOTE: Do not force plug into a non-polarized receptacle.Adapters are available
at most hardware stores.

CAUTION: IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE AN OUTLET STRIP...
A
Use only one that is properly approved and equipped with a fuse
U or circuit breaker. Place outlet strip away from aquarium tank and
make sure all receptacles are protected from water splash, spillage
T
or vapor. Frequently check electrical equipment and connections for
I
signs of moisture, greenish corrosion or black sooty residue (arcing).
O
If evident, turn off power IMMEDIATELY and correct the problem.

STEP 10: ADJUST BIO-WHEEL ROTATION
Turn Spray Bar Adjustment Knob(s) up
or down to change angle of water flow.
Do not attempt to force Spray Bar(s) past
the range allowed by bar lock(s).Adjust
Spray Bar(s) to rotate slowly...faster rotation
does not enhance performance.
BIO-Wheel rotation can be easily monitored
via the BIO-Wheel Indicator Window(s)
(Figure 6).
Remember, optimum biological filtration takes time. When creating a
new aquarium environment, patience is the first key to success. Begin your
setup with a few fish, adding more fish gradually over a 4-6 week period.This
allows the BIO-Wheel to establish a beneficial bacteria culture and develop
peak operational efficiency.Also, a cultured BIO-Wheel can be transferred to
other new aquarium environments to speed the break- in process.
