Replace the mechanical and chemical cartridges
back into place making sure to align them properly
and then turning the knobs clockwise to "
cartridges into place.
If the cartridge lid doesn't close, the cartridges have
not been installed properly.
STEP 4: INSTALL RIM ATTACHMENTS
A. Placement
Insert two suction cups
on each side of the rim
attachment assemblies
so the suction cups are
facing each other.
G.11
• One rim attachment will hold the intake strainer
and the other the output nozzle or spray bars.
At opposite ends, place
the rim assembly over
aquarium's back rim,
making sure the rim with
the nut is on the outside.
G.12
B. Install Telescopic intake stem
• Push the telescopic intake stem fully into the
cross rim assembly up to the top. The intake
strainer must be placed at least 3 in (7.5cm)
from the bottom of the aquarium gravel.
Important: Position the telescopic intake strainer
as far away as possible from any air source (e.g. air
stones, aeration devices, protein skimmers, the out-
put nozzles or spray bars). Air entering the intake
strainer will reduce fi lter effi ciency.

C. Install Output nozzles
• The "Y" outlet comes with the output nozzles
attached. To use the spray bars, fi rst remove the
output nozzles by twisting them to one side so
they pop off the "Y". You can then attach the
spray bars directly to the "Y" outlet.
STEP 5: CONNECTING HOSES
Important: Hosing should always follow a straight
path from the fi lter to the aquarium rim with some
slack but no loops. The fi lter will not work effi ciently if
G.10
the hose is too long or too short.
A. Install the Aquastop
"
• Lift the silver AQUASTOP valve lever on top of
the fi lter to a full upright position. Next lift the
Aquastop release lever to the left. Important: to
avoid damaging the Aquastop levers, always
follow the recommended sequences/procedures
and never force anything.
Insert the AQUASTOP Valve into the top of the
fi lter, with indicator arrows facing front and close
the AQUASTOP release lever. This engages the
AQUASTOP valve. Then pull the aquastop valve
lever down.
NOTE: Don't force the silver valve lever or release
lever. If it doesn't close easily then you need to
reinstall the Aquastop assembly making sure to align
it properly.
B. Connect the intake hose
The intake hose will connect to left side of the
AQUASTOP valve (down arrow). Push one end of the
hose all the way onto the barbed adaptor, turn the
nut counter-clockwise as tightly as possible without
forcing it.
• Stretch the hose up to
the intake cross rim
assembly . Using
scissors or a utility knife,
cut the hose just above
the lock nut.
G.15
• Take the cross rim assembly off the rim
attachment and push the hose onto the barbed
connector, turn the nut lock clockwise securing
the hose to the rim connector. Place the intake
G.13
assembly back onto the rim attachment, pressing
it into place until you hear it "click."
C. Connect the output hose
• The output hose will connect on the right side of
the Aquastop (up arrow).
Repeat this same
procedure used for the
intake hose to connect
the hose for the output
hose.
G.16
Important: Hosing should always follow a straight
path from the fi lter to the aquarium rim, with some
slack, but no loops. The shorter the hosing, the
better the unit will perform. Do not cut too short.
If necessary, you can always cut it shorter later.
STEP 6. STARTING THE PUMP
After having topped up
the aquarium with water,
quickly and vigorously
push the priming
button all the way down
2-3 times until the water
starts fl owing into the
fi lter.
G.14
G.17
• When the fi lter has completely fi lled with water
and all air bubbles have stopped coming out of
return nozzles connect it to the power supply
outlet.
• The LCD display will switch on and after a short
pause it will show the start up and setup
sequence of the fi lter. Once the start sequence
has ended, the pump will initiate the water fl ow,
provided the fi lter is completely fi lled with water.
The pump will not operate if the fi lter is not
completely full of water.
• Once the water is fl owing properly, check the
aquarium water level again and, if necessary,
restore it to adequate levels.
STEP 7. FILTER SETTINGS
You are now ready to set up your fi lter options using
the menus.
