Page 2: Section I
This product is intended for use in swimming pool applications only. It may be mounted directly to a Pentair Pool Products EQ Series pump. This will provide filtration of debris that could damage the pump and will allow the pump to be self-priming in installations up to 10 feet. - Page 3 7. Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 for the lower flange connection unless the strainer is directly attached to a Pentair Pool Products EQ Series pump. 8. Inspect both flange connection(s) to ensure that the flanges of the strainer pot and the connection flanges are in line and that the faces are parallel.
- Page 4 WARNING It is important that the four tabs on the locking ring be fully overlapped with the four tabs on the strainer pot before performing a pressure test. If the locking ring is under tightened or over tightened so that the tabs do not fully overlap with tabs on the pot a structural failure can occur.
- Page 5 4. Use only a high quality pressure gage that is certified to be accurate for the pressure for which the test is going to be conducted. Do not rely on the pressure gage included with the filtration system as it may not be sufficiently accurate to conduct a pressure test for the system.

Page 6: Initial Operation
SECTION III. INITIAL OPERATION Verify that the following tasks are completed before energizing the circulation pump. 1. Make sure the O-Ring is on drain plug and that drain plug is tightened hand tight. 2. Fill strainer pot with as much water as it will hold. 3. - Page 7 WARNING If the pump has been energized for a period greater than 45 minutes without water flowing through the pump for any reason, the water in the strainer pot may be hot. Attempting to remove the locking ring without removing the drain plug in the pot and allowing the pressure to equalize may result in the hot water rapidly escaping and causing severe personal injury.
