Maintenance; Winterization - Hayward XE Series Owner's Manual

System Errors
During normal operation (not programming mode), the XE pump can communicate errors through its LED Indicator. Errors are displayed by flashing the LED. The
number of flashes will indicate the type of error as shown in the table below.
# of Flashes Error Condition
1 DC voltage out of range
2 Motor current too high
IPM temperature too
3
high
4 Pump has stalled
Internal motor/drive
5
failure
Note: All errors can be manually reset by pressing the button when the error is shown, or by cycling power applied to the pump after the error has occurred. If
the troubleshooting steps listed above do not help to resolve the error condition, then the problem may be internal to the motor/drive. Contact Hayward Technical
Service at (908) 355-7995 for additional assistance.
• Clean strainer basket regularly. Do NOT strike basket. Inspect cover gasket regularly and replace as necessary.
• Hayward pumps have self-lubricating motor bearings and shaft seals. No lubrication is necessary.
in this manual.
• Keep motor clean. Keep motor air vents free of obstructions 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. See "Shaft Seal Change Instructions"
WARNING
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.
ATTENTION
ATTENTION
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). Gravity drain system as far as possible.
Keep motor dry and covered during storage. To avoid condensation/corrosion problems, do NOT cover or wrap pump with plastic film or bags.
Storing Pump For Winterization
WARNING
power may result in serious personal injury or death.
1. Drain water level below all inlets to the pool.
2. Remove drain plugs and strainer cover from strainer housing.
3. Disconnect pump from mounting pad, wiring (after power has been turned OFF), and piping.
4. Once the pump is fully drained of water, re-install the strainer cover and drain plugs. Store pump in a dry area.

Indicates that internal DC bus voltage is either too high or too low. Verify that line voltage is within 10%
of pump rated voltage at the terminal block. Also, verify that power supply connections are properly
made at the circuit breaker as well as at the terminal block, and that the voltage change jumper is set
correctly for the intended line voltage connection.
Indicates that motor current is too high. Check impeller, diffuser, shaft seal, and motor for any issues or
binding.
Indicates that the internal components of the motor drive have become overheated. Motor airflow path
should be checked for obstructions and cleared if present. Also, check ambient temperature and verify
against motor nameplate.
Indicates that the motor drive has lost control over motor shaft rotation, or that the motor drive was not
able to start the motor. Check impeller, diffuser, shaft seal, and motor for any issues or binding.
Indicates that there is a problem within the motor and/or motor drive assembly, and that the motor/drive
assembly may need to be replaced. Contact Hayward Technical Service for additional assistance.

Maintenance

Storage / Winterization
– Separation Hazard. Do not purge the system with compressed air. Purging the system with compressed air can cause
– Allowing the pump to freeze with water in it will void the warranty.
– Use ONLY propylene glycol as antifreeze in your pool/spa system. Propylene glycol is non-toxic and will not damage
– To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock hazard, turn OFF power to motor before draining pump. Failure to disconnect
USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS
