• Rinse filter and all parts with clean tap water to remove any dirt and residues.
• Cut outlet U-bar (blue) to desired length (A1), be sure to leave space for three O-rings (A2). Install the three O-rings.*
• Install outlet U-bar, choose from two option for the water return; install either the spray bar (B1) or the jet spray (B2).

• Secure the spray bar to your aquarium with the suction cups.
• Connect the (telescopic) inlet tube on to the inlet U-bar (C1). Adjust the Inlet tube to the desired height.
• Connect the hoses; first turn the nut on the connector to open, insert the hose and turn back to lock (D1), be sure to tighten the water hoses securely!
• Surface skimmer; if you do NOT wish to use the optional surface skimmer, plug the supplied cover over the skimmer attachment (E1). For maximum skimmer effect keep aquarium waterline at the same level as the surface skimmer collection cup (E2).*

• To open the filter, lift the handles out and up (F1) over the hinges and let the handles fall to the outward position (F2). Use the carrying handle to lift the filter head up (F3)*. Make sure that all four handles are in the outward position and free from the hinges.
• The X-Pro is supplied with filter media, however you can add or change media as you like. Replacement foam, carbon and other media is available from you Superfish dealer (G1).

• The aquarium water travels through the filter media from the bottom moving to the top. Make sure that the media baskets and the media cover are in the right position with the opening under the water outlet of the pump. Then place the filter cover (H1).
• Close filter, make sure the rubber seal is in the right position, place handles on the hinges, press the bottom of the handles inward towards the body of the filter. Make sure all four handles are secure and locked.
• Install the Shut-Off valve, make sure that the lever is in the up position and that all O-rings are present and installed correctly (I1). Put the valve in place and press down firmly, now press the lever to the down position to secure and open the valve (I2).
• The Shut-off valve is labelled IN (red hose connector) and OUT (blue hose connector) for the corresponding water flow direction. Connect the hoses, first turn the nut on the connector to open, insert the hose and turn back to lock, be sure to tighten the water hoses securely (J1)!

• Now prime the filter. If you have installed the optional skimmer, make sure to lower the skimmer inlet below the water surface, before using the prime pump. This prevents air to come into the system. Make sure the prime button is in the down position. Pull out on the prime button until you reach the top position (K1). Firmly push down on the prime button to the down position (K2). The aquarium water will start to fill the filter. Now insert the plug into the socket so that the filter will work. If the aquarium water does not start flowing into the filter, check all the tube and hose connections to make sure that they are securely fastened.

• Inspect the rotor, turn the rotor cover counter-clockwise to remove it (L1), lift the rotor out of the house for cleaning (L2). If you hear excessive noise, the rotor is wearing and needs replacement. This is normal and is not covered by warranty. Spare rotors are available from your SuperFish dealer.
• When cleaning the filter inspect the rubber seal ring and clean it. Use a silicone based lubricant on rubber seal ring before re-installation. Make sure that the top rim of the canister is clean and free of any debris before re-installing the filter cover.
