TO INSTALL FILTER

1. REMOVE MOTOR FROM FILTER CASE
   

   Unsnap all filter case clips along the top rim of the filter case. Hold motor and case firmly and withdraw from case. The media modules and contents will remain in the case.

   Remove the filter modules from case. Disassemble individual modules and cover, hold modules firmly and twist. When the module will turn no further, pull apart. All new media should be rinsed to remove excess dust or debris before use.

   Efficiency is directly affected by the filter materials used. In Fluval units it is crucial that proper procedures be carefully followed. Otherwise, the mechanical or biological filtration of the unit may be impaired. Although numerous types of media are available, the normal procedure for all is similar. To ensure the maximum utility of the filter, the following basic sequence should be followed.

3. REASSEMBLE FILTER MODULES
   
   

   After each module has been loaded, assemble the modules and cover. Place the assembled modules into the filter case.

   • Place motor unit onto filter case.
   • Press down evenly to seat firmly into filter case.
   • Lock with case clips.
   • Ensure the filter seal ring is seated properly.
