4.2 Mounting with Magnet Holder

1. Ensure the aquarium glass is clean and free of algae or debris where the pump will be mounted.
2. Place the pump unit with its internal magnet on the inside of the aquarium glass.
3. Align the external magnet holder on the outside of the aquarium glass, directly opposite the pump unit. The strong magnets will secure the pump in place.
4. Adjust the pump's angle and direction as desired. The Silence Clamp helps reduce vibrations.

The magnet holder is suitable for glass thicknesses up to 15mm (1/2").
