can enter the system and become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the top closure to

a. Do NOT attempt to adjust or service without consulting your dealer, or a qualified pool
technician.
b. Read the entire Installation & User's Guide before attempting to use, service or adjust the
pool filtering system or heater.
2. Before repositioning valve(s) and before beginning the assembly, disassembly, or any other
service of the circulating system: (A) Turn the pump OFF and shut OFF any automatic controls
to ensure the system is NOT inadvertently started during the servicing; (B) open the manual
air bleeder valve; (C) wait until all pressure is relieved.
3. Whenever installing the filter closure FOLLOW THE FILTER CLOSURE WARNINGS
EXACTLY.
4. Once service on the circulating system is complete FOLLOW INITIAL START-UP
INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
