Hayward Power-Flo LX Installation And Operating Instructions

HAYWARD HIGH PERFORMANCE PUMPS
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Your Hayward centrifugal pump has been quality-built
and engineered to give you many years of efficient,
dependable service.
The advanced design reduces required maintenance
to simple, common-sense procedures.
GENERAL TIPS ON PUMP INSTALLATION
For best pump performance, locate the system
below the pool water line and as close to the pool
as practical. If you own an above-ground pool,
please see Note: NSPI-4, Article V, for safe and
proper installation of the equipment package .
Make sure suction joints are tight. Suction pipe
should be as large or larger than discharge pipe.
Damp, non-ventilated locations should be avoided.
Motors require free circulation of air to aid in
cooling.
Insure that the electrical supply available agrees
with the motor's voltage, phase and cycle, and that
wire size is adequate for the motor's HP (KW)
rating and distance from power source. Motor
must always be properly grounded. If cord
connected, use
receptacle. Electrical circuits must be protected
by proper size ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) as required by applicable electrical codes.
All electrical wiring must be performed by qualified
personnel, and must conform to local codes and
regulations.
MAINTENANCE
1.
Clean strainer basket regularly. Do not strike
basket to clean. Inspect strainer cover gasket
regularly and replace as necessary.
2.
Hayward Pumps have self-lubricating motor
bearings and shaft seals. No lubrication is
necessary.
3.
Keep motor clean. Insure that vents are free
from obstruction.

STARTING AND PRIMING INSTRUCTIONS
Fill strainer housing with water to suction pipe
level. Never operate the pump without water.
Water acts as a coolant and lubricant for the
mechanical shaft seal.
Open all suction and discharge lines and valves,
as well as manual air relief valve (if available) on
filter. (The air that is to be displaced from the
suction line must have some place to go.)
CAUTION: All suction and discharge valves
must be open when starting the system.
Failure to do so could cause severe personal
injury and/or property damage.
Turn on power and allow a reasonable time for
priming. Priming time depends on suction lift and
horizontal length of suction piping. If the pump will
not start, or will not prime, see TROUBLE
SHOOTING GUIDE on back page.
NOTE: NSPI-4 Article V, standard for above-
ground and on-ground pools, advises that
components such as the filtration system,
pumps and heater be positioned so as to
prevent their being used as a means of access
to the pool by young children.
4. Shaft seals must be replaced occasionally, due
to wear or damage. See instructions.
STORAGE/WINTERIZING
Pump and motor must be protected from freezing.
Shut off all electric power. Disconnect electrical
and plumbing connections. Drain thoroughly and
clean out any debris. Store pump and motor in a
dry, well-ventilated room.
