Important Reminders - Fluval 405 Gebrauchsanleitung

4. Rinse both sides of the foam screen frame under tap water before initial use to remove any
possible contaminants, and slide it back into position in the canister, flat end down. If the
screen does not seem to fit properly, be sure it is not upside down.
5. Complete canister cover assembly:
a. Lay the canister cover on a flat surface with its topside
down. Remove the lubricated rubber gasket from its
plastic bag. To seal the cover opening properly, the
gasket must be moist but it need not be wet. Carefully fit
the gasket into the channel around the base of the cover.
b. Position the impeller cover over the impeller. Align the
shaft so it is seated in the ring on the cover; push down
around the entire circumference of the edge until the
tabs "click" into locked position.
6. Place the cover on the canister. Be sure to position it
properly. There is only one orientation possible. Make
certain that the MSF logo on the cover and canister is
aligned and that the power cord fits into the notch on the
rim of the canister.
7. Lock the cover in place: push the double tabs of the lift-lock
clamps under the rim; then press the upper tabs firmly
against the cover.
DO NOT FILL CANISTER WITH WATER
8. Place the unit in its final position.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

• This is a gravity-fed system. For it to work properly, the filter must be positioned below
the aquarium.
• The distance between the bottom of the canister and the maximum water level must not
exceed 4.5 ft. (1.4m).
• Hosing must follow a straight path from the filter to the aquarium rim, with some slack,
but no loops.
• If hosing is too long, filter will not work properly.
• The water level should never be more than 7 in. (17.5cm) below your aquarium rim.
• NEVER install the filter above the water level.
