Maintenance

Clean strainer basket regularly. Do NOT strike basket to clean. Inspect strainer cover gasket regularly and
replace as necessary.

Hayward pumps have self-lubricating motor bearings and shaft seals. No lubrication is necessary.

Keep motor clean. Insure air vents are free from obstruction 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" in this manual.

NOTICE
Use ONLY propylene glycol as antifreeze 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 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 or wrap pump
with plastic film or bags.
