Before using, familiarize yourself with the components by assembling and
disassembling the unit as described hereafter. To ensure watertight seals the
parts are connected with o-rings. When assembling for the first time wet the
o-rings with water or use a small amount of lubricant such as cooking oil.

The Pump Cover is connected to the Pump Body with
a bayonet connector, holding the inlet port in position.
To remove the Cover, rotate anticlockwise and pull
the cover away from the Body. The Inlet Port is
positioned by three locators on the Body and sealed
with an o-ring. To remove the Inlet Port simply pull
away from the Body. The Rotor/Impeller assembly

water level is at least 2” (5 cm) above the bottom
of the Extension Pipe With the Prizm in its desired
position, use the Fixing Screw provided in either of
the threaded holes to firmly attach it to the
aquarium or sump wall.
