4A. CRADLE STYLE MOUNT
Figure 2 — Cradle style mount pump
Place tank on top of round opening on base and rotate until the holes in the tank bottom
line up with the holes in the base. Use the remaining mounting bolts from hardware
bag
(H)
to secure in place. BEFORE bolting down, make sure that the port labeled
“TO PUMP” (open port, without slide valve) is facing the back of the base (longer part of
base indicates back). See Figures 5 and 6 below.
If there are NO THREADS on the inside of your pump inlet or
on the inside of the pump basket, attach slide valve to the
bottom of thru-wall skimmer (in place of standard fitting). This
valve will allow you to stop the flow of water FROM the pool in
the event of filter maintenance (see Figure 4).

Pumps with cradles located directly under the
motor (see Figure 2) should be aligned with
the holes inside the raised area of the base
(see Figure 3a). This type of mount will
require the use of FOUR mounting bolts from
the hardware bag
(H)
.
Cover threads of slide valve entirely
with Teflon tape
(F)
to protect from
leaks at the connection. Thread the
slide valve into the FRONT of the
pump or pump strainer basket if
applicable (see Figure 3b).
