This filter operates under high pressure. When any part of the circulating
system (e.g., clamp, pump, filter, valves, etc.) is serviced, air can enter the
system and become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the lid or lock
ring to separate which may result in serious injury, death, or property
damage. To avoid this potential hazard, follow these instructions.
1. Before the assembly, disassembly, or adjustment of the lid or lock ring 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 manual air relief valve;
(c) Wait until all pressure is relieved, pressure gauge must read zero (0).
2. Whenever installing the filter lock ring, follow the filter lid and lock ring
installation instructions exactly.
3. Once service on the circulating system is complete, follow system restart
instructions exactly.
4. Maintain circulation system properly. Replace worn or damaged parts
immediately (e.g., lock ring, pressure gauge, relief valve, o-rings, etc.).
5. Be sure that the filter is properly mounted and positioned according to
instructions provided.

Section 2
Installation
1. Read and understand all instructions before attempting to install,
operate or maintain your pump and DE filter system.
2. Provide space and lighting for routine maintenance access. Locate the
system close to the pool. Install electrical controls (e.g., on/off switches,
timers, control systems, etc.) at least five (5) feet from the filter. This will
allow you enough room to stand clear of the filter during system start up.
Systems that are unassembled should be assembled at this point. See
special instructions A through P.
A. Make sure all electrical breakers and switches to the pump are switched
off, and disconnect the communication cable from the pump before
installing the base.
B. Remove all individual components from carton and inspect for any visible
damage. If carton or parts are damaged contact seller or freight
company.
C. Place the system support base on the ground close to the final location of
the unit. See Figure 1.
