Fastlane Hydraulic Power Unit Assembly; Assembling The Water Quality System Without Heater Controller - Endless Pools Fastlane Installation Manual And User's Manual

20. Run the hydraulic hoses back to the Hydraulic Power Unit.
Using the provided bonding lug and self-drilling / self-tap-
ping screw, fasten the bonding lug to the vertical strut that is
closest to the Fastlane. Attach the bond wire from the
Fastlaen to the Bonding lug. To bond the Fastlane Swim
Unit and Fastlane Pool structure to the rest of the pool
equipment, run a #8 AWG bare copper wire from the bond-
ing lug (that was just attached) to the rest of the Water
Quality System equipment and Hydraulic Power Unit.
Always be sure to verify any additional bonding require-
ments that may be dictated by local codes and ordinances.
21. Once the Fastlane is installed in the pool, place the housing
lid onto the housing and use the provided screws to attach.
There will be three screws per side, for a total of six (Fig 31).

FASTLANE HYDRAULIC POWER
UNIT ASSEMBLY
The power unit should be placed on a flat and level surface.
Whether placed indoors or outdoors, this is an air-cooled unit
and must have ample ventilation. Therefore, a minimum of 12"
of air spaced must be provided on all sides of the power unit. In
addition, the power unit needs to be check periodically for
maintenance and should be accessible.
Take care when placing the power unit as it is heavy.
Once the power unit is in place, connect the hydraulic hoses.
The high-pressure hose gets connected to the fitting on the high-
pressure manifold (blue box). The low-pressure hose, which
will have red tape, gets connected to the fitting on the black fill
cap (Fig 32)

Make sure that the power is turned off to the power unit.
Remove the fill black fill cap and remove the oil filter by lifting
it out of fill opening. Use the provided paper funnels and fill the
reservoir to within 2" of the top. Endless Pools, Inc. supplies a
special non-petroleum fluid created for this application and this
equipment. Do not use a substitute hydraulic fluid. Extra
hydraulic fluid is provided for longer hose runs. Any excess
fluid should be retained for future use.
Once filled, replace the oil filter and ensure that it is seated
properly before putting the fill cap back on. If you have select-
ed a longer run hose, we have provided extra fluid. In this case,
turn the unit on and let it run for one minute to fill the run hoses.
Turn the power off, remove the fill cap and oil filter, and add
fluid as needed. Again, you want to fill the reservoir to within
2" of the top.
The Water Quality System circulating pump and optional heater
controller will be secured to the power unit. An equipment

attached to the power unit even if the optional heater con-
troller has not been purchased. (See Assembling the WQS
with Heater Controller) This mounting board will be used to
help secure the equipment hutch to the power unit.
ASSEMBLING THE WATER QUALITY
SYSTEM WITHOUT HEATER CONTROLLER
1. Loosely attach the circulating pump to the power unit. The
pump will be attached to the handle of the power unit on the
same side as the hydraulic connections. Place the circulating
pump on to the power unit so that the suction of the circulat-
ing pump is facing away from the power unit (Fig 33).
2. Place the pump foot clamp on the underside of the power unit
handle, aligning the holes in the pump foot clamp to the holes
in the pump foot. The pump foot clamp is packaged with the
Water Quality System Equipment Hutch. Use the provided
screws to clamp the pump on the power unit handle.
3. Attach the pump union nuts to both fittings of the pump.
Make sure that the o-rings are in place before attaching the
union fittings.
4. Glue a male slip x female slip street elbow into the pressure
fitting of the pump so that it is facing away from the power
unit. Apply PVC cleaner to both faces of the joint prior to
gluing for every glue joint.
5. Cut three 2-1/2" lengths of flexible PVC off of the 50' roll of
flexible PVC that was provided.
6. Glue one of these lengths into the union fitting connected to
the suction side of the pump.
7. Glue another length of 2-1/2" PVC into the elbow that is con-
nected to the pressure union.
8. Glue the provided Tee onto the pipe coming out of the street
elbow so that the 3/4" female pipe thread of the Tee is facing
up. Apply Teflon tape to the threads of the hose spigot and
secure it to the Tee.
9. Glue the third 2-1/2" length of PVC into the other side of the
Tee.
10. Glue a ball valve onto the pipes that are protruding from the
High
suction union of the pump and the Tee on the pressure side
