INSTALLATION & USE
Please read the below instructions carefully before beginning to set up your
filter.
DO
NOT CONNECT THE UNIT TO THE MAINS UNTIL SET UP IS COMPLETE AND
UNIT IS FILLED WITH WATER.
Important installation information:
The base of the unit must
NOT
be more than 1.4m (4.5 ft) below the tank water
level.
The water level must
NOT
be more than 17cm (7 inches) below the tank rim.
It is essential to position your external
filter
BELOW
your aquarium.
The green hose must be kept taut with no loops and follow a
STRAIGHT LINE
from
the
filter to the rim of the aquarium. If the hosing is too long the filter WILL NOT
WORK CORRECTLY.
The inlet pipe should
NOT
be positioned too close to an air stone, aeration device or
the output valve to avoid reducing the
effectiveness of the filter.
This unit comes complete with a generous supply of 3 core cable, however should any
additional cable be required, the use of an approved waterproof cable connector with a
proper rating is essential. A cord rated for less amperes or watts than the appliance
rating may overheat.
Please Ensure:
The power supply must be earthed and fused at 3amps. Regularly
inspect the cable for damage and deterioration. Consult a qualified electrician if in
doubt about any aspects of wiring.
