Figure 43, Diffuser inside of Bio-Brush Cluster 

 
Insert the free end of the air line through the 5/8-inch [16mm] hole from step 
1.  Pull the air line through the hole until 12-18-inches [0.3–0.5m] of slack 
remain in the tank when the diffuser is resting on the bottom in the vertical 
position.  Apply a bead of silicone caulk around the air line where it exits the 
tank to prevent water from entering the tank. 
 

4.  Installing Compressor Housing  

 

Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions 
are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is 
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided; if it will not fit the outlet, 
have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. 
 
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt AC circuit and has a grounding 
plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 44.  Make sure that the 
product is connected to a GFCI outlet having the same configuration as the 
plug. No adapter should be used with this product. This product has an 
automatically reset thermal limiter, which shuts off the entire product when 
an elevated temperature condition exists.  When the product cools, it will 
automatically restart.
