INSTALLATION AND USE
3. Prepare intake connections
1 . Connect the hosing to one of the two valves:
a. Loosen one of the metal clamps, and slide it onto one
end of the hosing (the rubber part).
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. 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 hosing is too long, the filter will not work efficiently
(the maximum length of the hosing is 6.5 ft / 2m).
a. 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).
b. Stretch out the hosing so it rests over the “output”rim
bracket.
c. 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 “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.
