Maintenance; Shaft Seal Change Instructions - Xtreme Power 75021 Owner's Manual And Safety Instructions

OPERATION

MAINTENANCE

Clean strainer basket regularly. DO NOT strike basket to clean. Inspect strainer cover gasket regularly and
replace as necessary.
Pumps have self-lubricating motor bearings and shaft seals. No lubrication is necessary.
Keep motor clean. Insure air vents are free from obstruction to avoid damage. DO NOT use water to hose
off motor.
Occasionally, shaft seals must be replaced, due to wear or damage. Replace with genuine Hayward seal
assembly kit.
EXPLOSION HAZARD: Purging the system with compressed air can cause components to explode, with
risk of severe injury or death to anyone nearby. Use only a low pressure (below 5 PSI), high volume blower
when air purging the pump, filter, or piping.
Allowing the pump to freeze will void the warranty.
DO NOT use anti-freeze solutions (except propylene glycol) in your pool/spa system. Propylene glycol
is non-toxic and will not damage plastic system components; other anti-freezes are highly toxic and may
damage plastic components in the system. Gravity drain system as far as possible.
PUMP WINTERIZATION STORAGE
ELECTRICAL HAZARD: To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock hazard, turn OFF power to motor
before draining pump.
Drain all water from pump and piping when expecting freezing temperatures or when storing pump.
1. Drain water level below all inlets to the pool.
2. Remove drain plug from bottom of strainer body.
3. Disconnect pump from base.
4. Once the pump is drained of water, re-install the strainer lid and strainer plug.
5. Store pump in a dry enclosure. Keep motor dry and covered during storage. To avoid condensation/
corrosion problems. DO NOT cover or wrap pump with plastic film or bags.
START-UP FOR WINTERIZED EQUIPMENT
1. Securely mount pump to base.
2. Install all intake and output fittings and piping.
3. Refill pool to proper water level.
4. Prime pump according to instructions.

SHAFT SEAL CHANGE INSTRUCTIONS

Only qualified personnel should attempt rotary seal replacement. Risk of Electric Shock Failure to turn
off power can cause serious or fatal electrical shock hazard. Disconnect all electrical power service to pump
before beginning shaft seal replacement.
Exercise extreme care in handling both the rotating and the stationary sections of the two-part replacement
seal. Foreign matter or improper handling will easily scratch the graphite and ceramic sealing surfaces.
