Teel Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
Models 4RJ93, 4RJ94 and 4RJ95
Electrical (Continued)
Install a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) in circuit; it will
sense a short-circuit to ground and
disconnect power before it becomes
dangerous to pool users. For size of
GFCI required and test procedures for
GFCI, see manufacturer's instruction.
In case of power outage, check GFCI
for tripping (which will prevent normal
pump operation). Reset if necessary.
NOTE: If you do not use conduit when
wiring motor, be sure to seal wire
opening on end of motor to prevent
dirt, bugs, etc., from entering.
Operation
Hazardous suction.
Can trap hair or
body parts, causing severe injury or
death. Do not block suction.
NOTE: NEVER run pump dry. Running
pump dry may damage seals, causing
leakage and flooding. Fill pump with
water before starting motor.
Before removing
trap cover:
1. STOP PUMP before proceeding.
2. CLOSE GATE VALVES in suction and
discharge pipes.
3. RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from pump
and piping system.
If pump is being pressure tested,
be sure pressure has been released
before removing trap cover.
Do not block pump
suction. To do so
with body may cause severe or fatal
injury. Small children using pool must
ALWAYS have close adult supervision.
Fire and burn
hazard. Modern
motors run at high temperatures. To
reduce the risk of fire, do not allow
leaves, debris, or foreign matter to
collect around the pump motor. To
avoid burns when handling the motor,
let it cool for 20 minutes before trying
to work on it. An automatic internal
cutoff switch protects the motor from
heat damage during operation.
PRIMING PUMP
Release all pressure from filter, pump,
and piping system; see the filter
owner's manual.
In a flooded suction system (water
source higher than pump), pump will
prime itself when suction and
discharge valves are opened.
If pump is not in a flooded suction
system, unscrew and remove trap
cover (See Figure 4); fill trap and pump
with water.
NOTE: Lubricate trap cover O-Ring
with petroleum jelly each time it
is removed.
Clean and inspect O-Ring; reinstall on
trap cover.
Replace trap cover on trap; turn
clockwise to tighten cover.
NOTE: Tighten trap cover by hand only
(no wrenches)!
To Remove
Board
Overtight
Lid
Figure 4 – Use a pry bar or board as
shown to remove tight lid.
Pump should prime now. Priming time
will depend on vertical length of
suction lift and horizontal length of
suction piping.
If pump does not prime, make sure
that all valves are open, suction pipe
end is under water, pump is not trying
to lift water more than 10' (3m), and
that there are no leaks in suction pipe
(See Troubleshooting Guide, Page 10).
STORAGE/WINTERIZING:
NOTE: Allowing pump to freeze will
damage pump and void warranty!
5
NOTE: Do not use anti-freeze
solutions (except propylene glycol) in
your pool/spa system. Propylene glycol,
"RV antifreeze", is non-toxic and will
not damage plastic system
components; other anti-freezes are
highly toxic and may damage plastic
components in the system.
Drain all water from pump and piping
when expecting freezing temperatures
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 pump with
plastic.
For outdoor/unprotected installations:
1. Enclose entire system in a
weatherproof enclosure.
2. To avoid condensation/corrosion
damage, allow ventilation; do not
wrap system in plastic.
3. Use a 40% propylene glycol/60%
water solution to protect pump
to -50°F (-46°C).
DRAINING PUMP
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.
1. Pump down water level below all
inlets to the pool.
To avoid
dangerous or fatal
electrical shock hazard, turn OFF power
to motor before draining pump.
2. Remove trap cover and use low
pressure air to blow accumulated
water from the piping system. Use a
pry bar or board to remove trap
covers that have been over-
tightened or have taken a set
