INSTALLATION AND USE
3. Push the cut end of this “intake” hosing into the rubber connector on
the intake tube. Push the hosing in by at least 1 in. (2.5cm) without
twisting it.
4. Place the intake strainer in the tank, making sure it is at least 3 in. (7.5
cm) from the bottom. Adjust the intake tube for the best extension for
your aquarium, respecting the 3 in. (7.5 cm) from the bottom rule. Once
the intake strainer is properly positioned, lock it in place by pressing the
suction cups against the glass.
5. Fasten the intake strainer’s hosing onto the rim connector using the
three rim connector clips.
5. Prepare output connections
1. Connect the hosing to the second valve (Just as for the intake hos-
ing):
A. Loosen the second metal clamp, and slide it onto the factory-finished end
of the hosing (not the cut end).
B. Push the end of the hosing onto the valve; push it all the way, as far as
it will go.
C. Position the metal clamp over the rubber connector, and tighten.
2. Measure and cut the hosing. Again, you will need a length of hosing
that reaches comfortably from inside the aquarium to the filter canister.
IMPORTANT: Hosing should follow a straight path from the filter to the
aquarium rim, with no slack and no loops. If the hose is too long, the
filter will not work efficiently.
D. Place the valve end of the hosing at the approximate spot where it will be
positioned on the filter lid (once the filter is installed).
E. Stretch out the hosing so it rests over the “output”rim bracket.
F. At a spot at least 6 in. (15cm) beyond the aquarium rim, use a utility knife
to cut the hosing. Do not cut it too short. Remember, you can always cut
it shorter during final installation, if necessary
3. Push the cut end of this “output” hosing into the rubber connector of
the output nozzle. Push the hosing in by at least 1 in. (2.5cm) without
twisting it.
4. Place the nozzle in the tank about 1 in. (2.5cm) below the water line.
5. Fasten the hosing to the “output” bracket using the three rim connector
clips.
