STEP 5. MOUNT ON FAN

The bracket can be mounted directly to a 120 or 140mm fan with four included Fan Screws.

Thanks to the 42mm pitch mounting holes you can install the reservoir on many pump brackets such as the “Universal

Pump Bracket” from Phanteks. It is included with many Phanteks cases and available separately.

STEP 6. POWER ON

-Make sure all connectors and ttings are tightened.

-Connect the pump to a power source.

-Fill the reservoir and let the pump run until all air is released.

Let the pump run for multiple hours. Tilting the system can help to release air bubbles.

For optimal performance please check the following:

-Make sure the pump never runs dry.

-Close any unused ports with Stop Fittings.

-Always perform a leak test before turning on the system.
