To avoid unneeded service calls, prevent possible injuries, and get the most out of your pump, READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY! The Sta-Rite ‘PE’ Series Self-priming Centrifugal pump: • Is designed for use with swimming pools or as a centrifugal pump.
• Check all clamps, bolts, lids, and system accessories before testing. • Release all air in system before testing. • Tighten Sta-Rite trap lids to 30 ft. lbs. (4.1 kg-m) torque for testing. • Water pressure for test must be less than 25 PSI (7.5 kg/cm2).
FIGURE 1 INSTALLATION Only qualified, licensed personnel should install pump and wiring. Pump mount must: Be solid - Level - Rigid - Vibration free. (To reduce vibration and pipe stress, bolt pump to mount.) Allow pump suction inlet height to be as close to water level as possible. Allow use of short, direct suction pipe (To reduce friction losses).

Piping: Use at least 1-1/2" IPS PVC pipe with 5” (127mm) trap. Use at least 2” pipe with 6” (152mm) trap. Increase size if a long run is needed. To avoid strains on the pump, support both suction and discharge pipes inde- pendently.
ELECTRICAL Ground motor before connecting to electrical power supply. Failure to ground motor can cause severe or fatal electrical shock hazard. Do not ground to a gas supply line. To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock, turn OFF power to motor before working on electrical connections.
OPERA TION 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.
2. Remove trap cover and use low pressure air to blow accumulated water from the piping system. Use Sta-Rite U79-11 Lid Wrench to remove trap covers that have been overtightened or have taken a set and cannot be re- moved by hand.
PUMP SERVICE Pump should only be serviced by qualified personnel. Be sure to prime pump (Pg. 7) before starting. 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. 4.
