INSTALLATION ADVICE
5
First your Aquascaper cabinet must be positioned.
PLEASE NOTE:
Your finished aquarium should be away from doors and radiators, out of
direct sunlight and near to, but not directly over, power sockets.
POSITIONING THE CABINET
One litre of water weighs one kilogram (1kg) so your furnished aquarium with sump
will weigh at least as much in kilograms as its total volume in litres.
THE CABINET MUST BE PLACED ON A STRONG, LEVEL CONCRETE FLOOR,
AND MUST BE PERFECTLY LEVEL AND POSITIONED BEFORE BEING FILLED
WITH WATER. AN UNEVEN FLOOR WILL CAUSE STRESS TO THE CABINET
AND AQUARIUM.
INSTALLING THE TANK
Using a minimum of two people for the Aquascaper 300, 600 and 900 and four
people for the 1200, 1500, 1800 place the aquarium slowly onto the cabinet top,
ensuring that the protective base mat is sandwiched between cabinet top and tank
base. (On the 300 aquarium the user will need to fit the base mat supplied). The rear
corners of the aquarium should exactly line up with the rear corners of the cabinet.
The sides should also exactly line up, producing a smooth line. The aquarium should
protrude over the front of the cabinet top, but align with the cabinet perimeter when
the cabinet doors are closed.
ADJUSTING THE CABINET DOORS
NOTE: ONLY ADJUST DOORS AT THE END OF THE INSTALLATION AND WHEN THE TANK IS
FILLED WITH WATER.
The soft-close hinges have two points of adjustment. If necessary, adjust them until
the door(s) are level, with an even gap, and close without any obstruction.
The push-openers can also be adjusted by twisting them in or out, by hand.
