  • Page 3: Section I. How Your Pump Works

    READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SECTION I. HOW YOUR PUMP WORKS Your centrifugal pump is designed to operate for years with proper maintenance. The pump housing, seal plate, hair and lint pot and impeller are made from high quality thermoplastic materials. These materials have been selected for their corrosion resistance nature.
  • Page 4 4. Provide space and lighting for routine maintenance access. Do not mount electrical controls directly over pump. 5. The pump should be installed as near to the pool or spa as practical. Avoid installing the pump above the water level. Suction lifts of more than 1/2 foot will cause very long priming times, and potentially damage the pump. 6.
  • Page 5 17. The pump motor must be wired for the proper voltage in accordance with the wiring diagram supplied with the motor. Wiring the motor with the incorrect supply voltage will cause damage to the motor and void the warranty. 18. The wiring to the motor should be kept as short as possible and large enough NOT to cause an excessive voltage drop.
  • Page 6: Initial Start-Up

    INITIAL START-UP: 1. Relieve all system pressure and open all air bleeders on total hydraulic system prior to starting the pump. See filter owner's manual. 2. Ensure that all fittings, clamps, closures and couplings are tight and in accordance with equipment manufacturer's recommendations.

    4. Use extreme care when handling the mechanical seal. The mating seal surfaces are polished and are easily damaged. 5. The mechanical seal can be changed without disconnecting piping by removing 4 bolts (see item 14 on page 9) and pulling the motor with pump seal plate and impeller assembly away from front pump housing body.
