2. Replace Filter Lid.
a. Inspect the Lid Gasket for wear and tear.
b. Place filter lid back on canister.
There is only one orientation possible. Gently press the lid
down until the output tube, affixed to the inside of the filter canister, is firmly seated in the
output (OUT) valve lid opening.
Important:
If the inlet tube attached to the canister lid has slipped our of its seat, be sure to
fully re-insert it under the IN connection of the lid.
3. Replace and hand-tighten the eight lid fasteners.
The lid is properly closed when it is in direct
contact with the canister.
DO NOT USE ANY TOOLS, AS DOING SO MAY DAMAGE THE UNIT.
4. Place the IN and OUT valves back on the lid connectors and press firmly until they click into
place.
Be sure the IN valve is connected to the hose attached to the intake strainer, and the
OUT valve is connected to the hose attached to the output nozzle.
5. First, open the IN valve (turn to vertical position).
6. With the IN valve already open, open the OUT valve.
Do
not change this sequence, or the canister will not refill
properly. If the canister is no longer primed, you will need
to remove the lid, pour about 8 liters (2 gallons) of water
into the canister, and replace the lid. (See “Prepare the
Filter” Step #7)
7. You will be able to hear water filling the canister.
Meanwhile, air will be forced through the output nozzle,
causing bubbling and agitation in the aquarium. Once the
bubbling in the aquarium stops, plug the power cord back
in. The pump will resume its normal stop/start sequence as
described in “Start the Filter.”
Purge Valve
Larger, heavier particles of aquarium debris will collect in the bottom of the canister, outside the
bottom media basket. The Purge Valve at the base of the unit allows for partial discharge of this
heavy debris. There is no need to open the filter lid or disconnect the hosing.
1. Unplug the pump from the electrical power supply.
2. Turn the IN and OUT valves to the closed (horizontal) position.
