INSTALLATION
A - D
First stick the 4 rubber feet to the bottom of the filter canister. The shut-off taps are then screwed onto
the suction and pressure joints of the filter – which can be rotated in the required direction of the hose –
by means of the threaded sockets ³ and are marked with the stickers IN/OUT (Fig. B).
Then fix the outlet elbow to the aquarium by means of the suction holders. Join the intake pipe with
the intake strainer and attach them to the inside of the tank by means of the suction holders (Fig. C).
Cut the hoses to the required lengths and push them onto the intake pipe and outlet elbow for at
least 1 cm. Make sure the hoses do not sag.
Connect the intake pipe to the suction joint "IN " of the filter, and the outlet elbow to the pressure
joint "OUT " (Fig. D). Secure hoses at both connections by tightening the union nuts in the direction
of the pipe.
Note: All hose connections must be checked at regular intervals for correct fitting.
INITIAL OPERATION E - G
The external filter already contains the necessary standard filter material made of special foam pads,
a carbon filter pad and the fine filter pad. When you have finished installing the hose, the device is
completely ready for operation.
Suction function: Now open both shut-off taps on the hose connections (Fig. E) and slowly move
down the multi-function lever until it is flush with the safety lock (Fig. F), lever position
is hereby sucked out of the aquarium and the overflow is established, so that the filter canister fills
automatically.
As soon as the water begins to flow into the filter canister, slowly move the multi-function lever back
to its vertical operating position until it locks noticeably into place (Fig. G), lever position
system is completely filled, the filter is put into operation via the mains connection. WARNING: If the
system is operated in lever position
OPENING AND CLOSING THE FILTER
Opening:
IMPORTANT. First close the shut-off tap on the suction side "IN " (Fig. H), and afterwards the tap on
the pressure side "OUT " (Fig. I) before disconnecting the mains plug (Fig. J). Loosen both taps by
turning the threaded sockets ³ to separate the hose assembly from the filter. WARNING: If the taps
are not separated from the pump head the filter cannot be opened.
Now slowly move the multi-function lever into its horizontal position
by applying strong pressure (Fig. L) so that the lever can be pushed over until it is touching the filter
canister (Fig. M), lever position
can be taken off.
Closing:
IMPORTANT. Never fill the filter canister completely with water. For fitting the pump head the multi-
function lever must be flush with the filter canister, lever position
pump head can be fitted into the slots of the lever. IMPORTANT. When closing, make sure that the
sealing ring fits into its groove all round the canister.
Then move the function lever slowly over the safety lock back to its vertical operating position, lever
position 1 , whereby the upper part is automatically pulled into its seal.
Make sure of proper handling to avoid jamming your fingers.
