PUMP INSTALLATION: USE AND REGULATION
Proceed as follows to install the pump:
Insert the suction cups in the holes under the pump body (5+1); clean the sump, fountain or aquarium wall, and then press
the pump on the suction cups to affix it. Turn the water flow regulator on the front side of the pump to change the flow (3).
Two threaded adapters are provided (7) which can be attached to either flexible or rigid tubing or pipe suitable to adapt the
pump for a variety of uses. In case of "dry" use (out of water), remove the intake grill (9).
Position the flow regulator according to the graining and detach it (3) pushing it softly out of its place. Screw the 2 adaptors
in the inlet and outlet holes and connect the tubes. Insert the plug in the socket.
