Fluval FX6 User Manual

INSTALLATION AND USE
6. Stack the baskets, carefully aligning them, so that all
shapes match. Reinsert the T-handles into their vertical slots,
and replace the baskets in the filter canister. The foam in the
upper basket should be just about even with the top edge
of the canister (the output tube, which is affixed to the
inside of the canister, will be protruding slightly).
7. Move the filter canister to its final position.
8. Be certain the purge valve is in the vertical (closed)
position.
9. Pour at least 2 gallons (8 liters) of water into the filter canister.
IMPORTANT: Correct water volume is necessary for system priming.
10. Place the filter lid back on the canister. Check to make sure the filter lid seal ring is present and
installed properly on the canister lid. There is only one orientation possible. Gently press the lid down
until the output tube is firmly seated in the OUT connection on the filter lid.
IMPORTANT: If the inlet tube attached to
the canister lid has slipped out of its seat,
be sure to fully re-insert it under the IN
connection of the lid.
11. 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.
