Piping: Use at least 2" (51mm) IPS PVC pipe. Increase size if a long run is needed. To avoid strains on the pump, support both suction and discharge pipes inde- pendently. Place these supports near the pump. To avoid a strain left by a gap at the last connection, start all piping at the pump and run pipe away from the pump.
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.

Draining Pump 1. Pump down water level below all inlets to the pool. To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock hazard, turn OFF power to motor before draining pump. 2. Remove trap cover and use low pressure air to blow accumulated water from the piping system.
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.
