Pump Priming and Start-up
Priming
• Release all air from the filter and piping system (see
filter instructions in "General Maintenance" section).
• In a flooded suction system (water source higher than
pump) the pump will prime itself when the suction
and discharge valves are opened.
• If the pump is not in a flooded suction system,
unscrew and remove the trap cover, then fill the trap
and pump with water.
• Clean and inspect the O-Ring. Re-install it on the trap
cover.
• Replace the trap cover on the trap; turn clockwise to
tighten the cover.
• Turn the power "ON" at the house circuit breaker.
Optional - Set the pool time clock to the correct time.
• Start the pump by toggling its power switch to the
"ON" position. For the 2-speed models, the power
switch toggles between high-speed, "OFF", and low-
speed positions.
• Optional - Bleed out pool filter - Open the manual air
relief valve on the filter, manually bleed the air out
until a steady water stream is evident. Close the
manual relief valve.
NOTE: Tighten the trap cover by hand only. Priming
time will depend on the vertical length of suction lift and
the horizontal length of the suction piping.
