you may have to loosen the clamp, then push the hose further up onto the barb.
Then tighten the hose clamps or couplers again. After the pump is on and has run
for about 5 minutes, slowly turn the red handle ('Solar On' position). Watch the pres-

flow through the panel and should stop turning the handle. In most cases the handle
should never be turned completely across the pipe. The air that was in the panel will
bubble out into your pool for a few minutes--this is normal.
g. Save the provided repair plugs. Discard any other unused parts.
