you can see the impeller. Make certain that the 
power cord is not wet and plug it into the

working. If the impeller does not turn see 
Cleaning Your Filter for instructions on how to 
assess the impeller. Remove the Black sealing 
O-ring from the feeder pipe. Fig 7 and place it on 
the filter inlet pipe on the top filter basket. Fig 6

10. Line the filter inlet pipe up with the feeder 
pipe on the base of the head unit. 

11. Press down gently, the bottom of the head 
unit should be flush with the canister body. Be 
careful not to jam the power cord in-between the 

canister and the head unit. Do not force it 
together! If it feels tight do not apply any 
pressure to close it simply, remove the head unit 
and filter baskets and try again. Fig 8
