Hazardous voltage.
Can shock, burn,
or cause death.
Disconnect power
before working
on pump or motor.

STORAGE/WINTERIZING

To prevent damage to components from fumes, store pool and spa
chemicals away from pump and spa. If possible, store chemicals in
an other well-ventilated area.
Allowing pump to freeze will damage pump and void warranty!
• Drain all water from pump and piping when expecting freezing temper-
atures or when storing pump for a long time (see instructions below).
• Keep motor dry and covered during storage.
• To avoid condensation/corrosion problems, do not cover or wrap pump
with plastic.
• For outdoor/unprotected pump installations:
1.Enclose entire system in a weatherproof enclosure.
2.To avoid corrosion damage, allow ventilation; do not wrap system in
plastic.
• Pump down water level below all inlets to the pool.
• Follow pool manufacturer's directions for storage of pool.
NOTICE: Do not use anti-freeze solutions (except propylene glycol) in
your pool or spa system. Most anti-freezes are highly toxic and may
damage plastic components in the system. Propylene glycol is non-toxic
and will not damage pump components.
Draining Pump
To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock hazard, turn
OFF power to motor before draining pump.
1. Close all valves on suction and return piping.
2. Remove drain plug in bottom of volute.
3. Drain all piping exposed to freezing temperatures.
4. Be sure no airlocks are holding water in the system.
5. To prevent pump from freezing, remove trap cover and drain the pump
body through the drain plug, Key 17, Page 12. Use a lid wrench to re-
move trap covers that have been overtightened or have taken a set and
cannot be removed by hand. Clean pump thoroughly. Replace trap
cover.
6. Before restarting, replace all plugs and make sure all pipe connections
are tightly sealed.
Startup For Winterized Equipment
1. Remove any temporary weather protection placed around system for
shutdown.
2. Follow filter manufacturer's instructions for reactivation of the filter.
3. Inspect all electrical wiring for damage or deterioration over the shut-
down period. Have a qualified serviceman repair/replace wiring as
needed. Inspect and tighten all watertight connections.
4. Open all valves in suction and return piping.
5. Remove all winterizing plugs in system.
6. Remove all anti-freeze solutions from system.
7. Close all drain valves and replace all drain plugs in system.
8. Prime pump according to instructions on Page 8.
9. Refill pool to proper water level.
