1. Important Safety Instructions
This is the safety-alert symbol. When you see this symbol on your pump or in this manual, look for one
of the following signal words, and be alert to the potential for personal injury or death.
WARNING
warns about hazards that could cause serious personal injury, death or major property
damage and if ignored presents a potential hazard.
CAUTION
warns about hazards that will or can cause minor or moderate personal injury and/or
property damage and if ignored presents a potential hazard. It can also make consumers aware of actions
that are unpredictable and unsafe.
The NOTICE label indicated special instructions that are important but not related to hazards.
WARNING –
READ, UNDERSTAND, AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow safety and operation instructions can result in severe personal injury or death.
CAUTION
–
To reduce risk of injury, do not permit children to use or climb on this product. Closely
supervise children at all times. The ANSI/NSPI-4 Standard (above-ground and on-ground pools) advises that
components such as the filtration system, pumps, and heaters be positioned to prevent their being used as a
means of access to the pool by young children.
WARNING
– COMPONENT SEPARATION HAZARD
Pool and spa water circulation systems operate under hazardous pressure during start up, normal operation, and
possibly after pump shut off. Pressure in system can cause explosive component separation of the upper filter
body if safety and operation instructions are not followed. Severe personal injury or death can result.
This product should be installed and serviced only by a qualified pool professional.
TO AVOID COMPONENT SEPARATION
• Follow all safety and operation instructions.
• Do not operate water circulation system if a system component is assembled improperly, damaged, missing, or
not a genuine Hayward component.
• Before performing maintenance on the water circulation system, verify all system and pump controls are in
OFF position and filter manual air relief valve is in the OPEN position.
• Use ONLY Hayward clamp system components: DEX2421JKIT clamp assembly, DEX2421J2 nut/bolt assembly,
and a DEX2422Z2 metal reinforced seal.
Non-Hayward components may fail in use and cause explosive separation.
• Never rely on hand tightening the clamp nut to the clamp bolt. Using a ¾" socket on a torque wrench, torque
clamp nut and clamp bolt to 150 inch-lbs.
• Before starting system pump, insure filter manual air relief valve body is in LOCK position in filter upper body.
• Before starting the system pump, verify that all system valves are set in a position to allow water from the filter
to return back to the pool.
• Before starting the system pump, the manual air relief valve must be in the OPEN position.
• When starting pump, do not stand over or near filter.
• If water leakage appears in the area of the filter tank clamp, immediately turn off all system circulation pumps
and electrical power. Do not return to the filter until all water flow has stopped. Reassemble the clamp system
per the instructions in this owner's manual to stop the leak.
• Return to filter to close manual air relief valve only when a steady stream of water (Not air or air and water mix)
is discharged from the manual air relief valve.
• Do not change filter control valve position while system pump is running.
WARNING
–
EXCESS PRESSURE HAZARD
Pressure testing of the pump and filter system in excess of the 50 PSI can cause explosive separation of the
components. Component separation can result in severe personal injury or death.
