bottom basket for these filtering media. NEVER overfill baskets. Leave at least 0.5" / 1 cm of free
space from the top of the baskets to the media, so the baskets will fit together properly. If the
red tray is present, the media at the bottom of the basket must not exceed the height of the tray
supports in the basket.
5. Make certain that each kind of media is positioned at the same level it was packaged in, unless you
are deliberately choosing a different filtration plan than the recommended setup.
6. Stack the baskets, carefully aligning them, so that all shapes match. Re-insert 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 utility valve is in the vertical (closed) position (FX4 and FX6 only).
9. Pour at least 1.4 US Gal / 5 L for FX2, 1.6 US Gal / 6 L for FX4 and 2 US Gal / 8 L for FX6 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 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.
7. Install the Filter
1. Once the filter unit is in its final position, make sure that the aquarium has the appropriate amount of water.
IMPORTANT:
Before proceeding, check the Installation Requirements at section #3 of "Installation and Use" chapter.
2.
Grasp the intake valve (which is at the end of the hosing attached to the intake tube);
slide it onto the IN connection on the filter lid, and press until it clicks into place.
3.
Grasp the output valve (which is at the end of the hosing attached to the output
nozzle); slide it onto the OUT connection on the filter lid, and press until it clicks
into place.
4.
Be certain both valves are locked in place before proceeding.
8. Install the Utility Valve hosing (FX4 and FX6 only)
The utility valve at the base of the unit and its hosing allow to:
•
Discharge the water inside the filter to make it lighter for moving it.
•
Change aquarium water: empty and refill.
•
Use the FX gravel cleaner kit (sold separately).
To install the utility hosing proceed as follows:
1.
Be certain the utility valve is in the closed (vertical) position; turn the lock nut clockwise
to loosen it, then remove the rubber cap.
2.
Attach one end of the supplied hose to the utility valve. Turn lock nut counterclockwise while
you are pushing the hose in the valve direction.
3.
Attach the other end of the hose to the clips on the lid.
WARNING:
It is important to leave the valve in the OFF position when not in use. An open
valve will result in an immediate water spill.
9. Start the filter
1.
Check your installation.
Before turning the filter on, be sure that:
•
The utility valve is in the closed (vertical) position (only for FX4/FX6).
•
All top lid fasteners are well tightened.
•
The intake strainer is fully submersed in water.
•
There are at least 1.4 US Gal / 5 L for FX2, 1.6 US Gal / 6 L for FX4 and 2 US Gal / 8 L for FX6
of water in the canister.
