SYSTEM SET-UP
1. Remove system from carton - Do not lift by piping. Place system base on
level spot near pool skimmer with good drainage.
2. Install pressure gauge and air release valve (Key Nos. 1 and 2, Page 19) on
filter lid assembly. Read instructions on top of lid for proper location of
pressure gauge and air release valve. Thread into holes in lid hand-tight
only. Apply teflon tape, Plasto-Joint Stik*, or Silastic RTV #732** to
threads of pressure gauge.
NOTICE: Tighten gauge hand tight only. Tighten air release valve finger tight
only.
Hazardous pressure. Risk of explosion, severe injury and major
property damage. DO NOT adjust, tighten or loosen either clamp when filter
is under pressure. Filter tank head and body clamps must be kept securely
hand tight to prevent leaks and prevent tank blowup when filter is under pres-
sure. If it is necessary to work on filter or do anything to clamps, do this:
1. Stop pump.
2. Close isolation valves.
3. Open air release valve and release all pressure.
4. If filter will be opened, open drain port and drain tank.
5. WAIT until all pressure is released before adjusting or loosening either
clamp.
6. Proceed with maintenance/adjustment. Follow instructions under
"Operation", Page 9, when putting system back in service.
Before startup, check the following:
1. Union assembly between pump and filter (for tightness – union may be disas-
sembled for shipping). Use care not to lose, pinch or damage union O-ring.
2. Check entire system for correct tightnes of bolts and clamps, correct piping of
accessories, etc. Do not start system until you have verified correct assembly
and set-up.
