Installation:
1. Get the pump out of its cardboard box and check the pump for any signs of shipping damage.
If damaged, do not operate the pump. Return the pump to the place of purchase.
2. Submerse the magnetic holder and adjust the desired flow direction by pushing the holder pin
near the ball joint. Do not use force at the end of the holder pin and do not try to adjust when
the holder is dry. Both could easily damage the holder pin. Later you may do fine adjustment.
3. Get the pump holder out of the aquarium and plug the holder pin into the hole at the rear side
of the pump.
4. Place the pump in the aquarium using the magnetic holders plates. Use a place where the pump
could not cause damage in case it falls down. To avoid the pump of drawing air it should be
approx. 10 cm under the surface. The pump is for operation under water only. Running dry voids
the guarantee.
5. If necessary you may do some fine adjustment.
6. After the pump has the desired flow direction you should check that your hands and the pumps
power plug are dry. Now connect the pump with the power net. The pumps power cable should
have a “drip loop” to prevent water from running down ruining things below. For your own safety
the outlet should be operated with a ground fault interrupter. Alternatively you may use our power
strip with ground fault interrupter. Have a look at our website www.troptronic.de.

Maintenance and cleaning
To maintain efficient performance of the pump, periodic cleaning is required.
1. Unplug the pump and remove it from the aquarium. Please be careful while disassembling,
cleaning and reassembling the pump.
2. Clean the outside of the pumps motor body and impeller cage with a brush or scouring pad to
remove accumulated algae and debris. The pumps streaming holes should be free. Do the
cleaning under running water.
3. Remove the impeller cage by squeezing tabs on the pump motor body simultaneously. Tilt the
impeller cage down to clear the tabs at the top. (Step 1 - 3).
4. Once clear at the tabs at the top, tilt the impeller cage the opposite direction to free the cage
from the third tab located at the bottom of the pump.
5. Clean the impeller cage by wiping with a soft cloth. Rinse the pump motor body under fresh water.
6. Do not use aggressive cleaners or chemicals !
7. After cleaning reinsert impeller back into the impeller well and reattach cage.
8. Install pump back into the aquarium.
