Hazardous suction.
Can trap hair or
body parts, causing
severe injury
or death.
Do not block
suction.
Hazardous voltage.
Can shock, burn,
or cause death.
Disconnect power
before working
on pump or motor.
OPERA TION
NOTICE: Maximum operating pressure is 50 PSI.
NOTICE: NEVER run pump dry. Running pump dry may damage seals, caus-
ing 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.
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.
Motor normally operates at high temperature and will be too hot
to touch. It is protected from heat damage during operation by an automatic in-
ternal cutoff switch. Before handling pump or motor, stop motor and allow it to
cool for 20 minutes.
Priming Pump
Release all air from filter and piping system: see 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 does not prime, make sure that all valves are open, suction pipe end
is under water, pump suction is below water level, and that there are no leaks
in suction pipe. See Troubleshooting Guide, Page 10.
Draining Pump
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. To prevent pump from freezing, drain the pump body through the drain
plug (Key No. 12, Page 11). Clean pump thoroughly.
3. Cap inlet piping after draining to keep water out of the pipes.
4. Be sure motor is kept dry and covered.
Storage/Winterizing:
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.
NOTICE: Allowing pump to freeze will damage pump and void warranty!
NOTICE: 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 also 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.
