Can Filter Installation
Chamber Assembly
Do not plug the machine into the wall outlet until the machine is fully assembled and you have read the instructions.
Ensure that the rocker switches are off. For the veg/flower switch this will be the center position. This will ensure
that the lights are off when the machine is plugged into the wall.
*Disregard the following instructions if you have the LED package.
Remove all accessories and parts from the reservoir inside the unit. It is a lot easier to assemble your MotherShip
with everything outside the unit. Remove the lid on top of the machine, using your drill and a Phillips bit (fig. 1.1).
Install the 400-watt MH bulb from inside the grow chamber. Turn bulb clockwise and do not over-tighten. Try not to
touch the bulb with your fingers since the oils from your fingers can harm the bulb (fig. 1.2).
Clean glass. Now replace the lid of your unit with a drill and phillips bit. (fig 1.3)
MotherShip™ Assembly
Do not plug the machine into the wall outlet until the machine is fully assembled
and you have read the instructions.
These are some things you will need to pick up to have your machine run properly: a surge protector (this will
protect your machine from any power spikes due to storms, power outages, etc.) and pH up and pH down, as we
cannot ship these items via frieght. These items can be purchased at any Walmart style location. Also, if you have
a friend you could call to help assist you in setting this machine up, it would speed up the process and make some
things a little easier.
Electrical Considerations
MS
: 5 amps
Typical Household Circuit Breaker
: 15-20 amps
*Amperage is calculated on using all components of each unit at the same time. It is recommended that no more
than 2 MotherShips go on a single 15 amp breaker.
