Hayward Ultra-Pro LX Series Installation And Operating Instructions

HAYWARD Hi-Performance SELF-PRIMING PUMPS
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Your Hayward Ultra-Pro LX pump has been quality-built
and engineered to give you many years of efficient,
dependable service. The non-conductive, corrosion-proof
motor housing provides protection from the elements and
insulates the electrical motor parts from outside contact.
The advanced design reduces operation and 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 possible.
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 HP/KW rating and distance from the
power source. Motor must always be properly grounded.
If cord connected, use only a properly grounded outlet.
Electrical circuits should be protected by proper size
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). All electrical wiring
should 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 housing clean. Insure air vents are free
from obstructions, debris, etc.

STARTING AND PRIMING INSTRUCTIONS

Fill strainer/housing completely with water. 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 air bleed (if available) on filter. (The air that is to be
displaced from the suction line must have some place to
go).
Turn on power and allow a reasonable time for priming.
Priming time depends on suction lift and length of
suction piping. If 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. Occasionally, shaft seals must be replaced, due to
wear or damage. See instructions

STORAGE/WINTERIZING

Pump and motor must be protected from freezing. Shut
off all electric power. Disconnect cord/electrical
connections and plumbing
thoroughly and clean out any debris. Store pump and
motor in a dry, well ventilated room.
