5. GENERAL MAINTENANCE

WARNING: To prevent damage to the pump, and for
A
proper operation of the system, clean pump strainer and
skimmer baskets regularly.
The only routine maintenance needed is inspection and
cleaning of the trap basket (pre-filter basket). Debris or
trash that collects in the basket will reduce or prevent
water flow through the pump. Follow the instructions below
to clean the trap.

1. Stop the pump, close the suction and discharge gate
valves, and release all pressure from the system
before proceeding.
2. Unscrew the trap lid (pre-filter lid) by turning
counterclockwise.
3. Remove the strainer basket and remove debris. Be
sure all holes in the basket are clear of obstructions,
flush the basket with water and put the trap (pre-
filter) back on with the large opening facing the pipe
connection port. If the basket is replaced backwards,
the cover will not fit on the trap body.
4. Clean and inspect the lid.
5. Clean the O-ring and its groove on trap body (pre-
filter) and replace the lid. To help keep the lid from
sticking, tighten by hand only.

Winterizing

A
CAUTION: The pump must be protected when
freezing temperatures are expected. Allowing the pump
to freeze may cause severe damage. Such damage will
not be covered under warranty.
There are two options when winterizing the pump:
Option 1:
1. Drain all the water from the pump, system equipment,
and piping.
2. Remove the drain plugs. Do not leave them in place,
store them in the empty strainer basket for winter.
3. Keep the motor covered and dry.
Option 2:
1. Drain all the water from the pump, system equipment,
and piping.
2. Remove the pump and motor from the plumbing and
store indoors in a warm and dry location.
NOTE: When the winter season is over the pump will
need to be primed prior to start. Refer to "Initial Start-
Up" on page 9.
CAUTION: DO NOT run the pump dry. If the pump
A
is run dry, the mechanical seal will be damaged and
the pump will start to leak at the seal. If this occurs,
the mechanical seal will need to be replaced. ALWAYS
maintain the proper water level in your pool. Continued
operation in this manner could cause a loss of pressure,
resulting in damage to the pump casing, impeller, and
mechanical seal not covered under warranty.
