Your VorTech MP40w ES
Adjust the Pin Spacer (MP40w ES Only)
The VorTech pump is designed to operate with a constant gap between
both halves of the device. The pin spacer is used to ensure the proper
spacing for various aquarium wall thicknesses.
• Make sure to measure your aquarium’s glass thickness using a ruler
or contact the aquarium manufacturer in order to determine the exact
thickness.
• To adjust for the proper aquarium thickness, pull the rubber pin spacer
from the motor housing. Then align the VorTech’s power cord emerg-
ing from the motor with your aquarium’s wall thickness to achieve the
proper offset from your aquarium.
Note: 3/4” thick aquariums do not use the pin spacer at all.
To remove the nozzle from the wet-frame, remove the entire wet-
half of the pump from the aquarium and place it on a non-metallic
surface. Gently but firmly press down on the nozzle with your palm
and twist counter-clockwise. The nozzle should become free of the
wet-frame. It may then be cleaned of any obstructions.
