Magnet upgrade pictorial

[Labman48076]

here we go it's really easy hope this save time.. you will receive a teflon
screw and nut your new magnet & frame cover

remove the cover grasp the magnet and rotate the propeller counter clock wise do not force and if you need to use pliers or wrench but be genital.

discard the unneeded parts 1 be careful with the magnet and keep in mind it can be useful frag rack..

keep all other parts good time for a good cleaning 50/50 white vinegar and water w

orks good I also like a fish bag and old tooth brush for this

ok now we go the other way..

now finger tighten the nut on the screw do not over tighten never force and put your new frame plate on

hey your done your fish and coral will love you more

also here is a link for flashing the gen 2 just to be handy

be smart when you do it remove the driver and make sure the power supply is away from the tank to be safe. I was upgrading my buddy's vortech and endend up with his power supply falling in a ro/di bucket so I gave him mine and now I need to order a new power supply $50 plus ship and no vortech till I get it. going to order it latter today or Monday grrr...

Hate to say it but you installed the bearing and drive shaft components wrong. Also, you have an older style wet side bearing and drive shaft (close to two years old in fact) and may really benefit by switching it out to the new style anyway. You would need parts MP101, MP104, and MP105.

How do you know if you have the old style bearing and drive shaft? Do you have any pics comparing the two?
