Exo Terra Repti Flo 200 - Manual (Page 5)

Installation:
Attach the output hose
The pump accepts a hose on the output only.
Important:
Avoid prickly bends in the hose, gentle curves present less
resistance and water flow loss
Location:
The pump should be placed on a flat level surface in clear, clean
water. Sand or silt entering the intake will wear out the impeller
prematurely or stop the pump from functioning. Ensure that the
water does not contain particulate matter that may enter the pump
and damage the impeller or block its shaft.
Install pump in desired location. Press down firmly on the pump to
ensure the suction cups on the bottom of the pump are holding it
securely in place. Connect the power cord to the electrical outlet.
In order to start, the pump must be submersed in clean water. If
the unit does not start immediately, verify that the water level is
sufficient to immerse pump during operation. If problem persists,
see the “Trouble-shooting” and “Maintenance” sections of this
manual for further information.
Important:
Caution:
• Disconnect the plug of this and any other submersed appliance
before placing hands in the water.
• The pump must not be allowed to run dry. Check the water level
periodically to ensure water level is sufficient to immerse pump
during operation. Refill water level as necessary.
Flow Control:
Note: water flow can be increased or decreased by adjusting the
flow control tab located on the impeller cover. To access the impeller
cover: remove the intake screen from the pump; move the flow con-
trol tab on the impeller cover either up (decrease) or down (increase)
to adjust the water flow; replace the intake screen on the pump. If
you have trouble moving the flow control tab: simply remove the
impeller cover totally; turn the impeller cover so that the flow control
tab is in the desired position; replace the impeller cover with the tab
in the desired position; replace the intake screen.
Maintenance:
To avoid injury, always unplug all appliances from the outlet when
not in use; before putting on or taking off parts; and before cleaning.
The pump’s motor is hermetically sealed, thereby requiring no
lubrication or maintenance.
The impeller cavity, although it is self cleaning, requires regular
maintenance to remove dirt, slime and debris build-up to ensure
smooth running and to extend the life of the pump.
To clean the pump:
1. Unplug pump and remove it from the installation.
2. Disassemble the complete impeller cavity by first removing the
