Installation
1. Decide on which outlet option to use.
2. If the filter is to be used in a shallow aquarium,
the filter can be turned on the side using the
elbow to direct the flow as required.
3. If the venturi is required, push the venturi
outlet directly into pump outlet, hang airline
outside of your aquarium.
4. Mount the filter to the corner of your
aquarium, secure using the suction cups on the
pump body and rear filter cover. Ensure the filter
is at a suitable height, it is recommended that
the water exiting the filter is breaking the water
surface but not splashing.

the power outlet. Switch the power on.
