Routine Maintenance - continued
8. Verify that all valves have been returned to the proper position for normal operation. Turn ON the power to the pump.
NOTE: It is normal for a few drops of water to escape from the mechanical seal from time to time. This is especially true
during the break-in period.
The mechanical seal may become worn or loose over the course of time, depending on the running time and water quality
.
If water continually leaks out, a new mechanical seal should be fitted.
After long periods of no operation (seasonal storage,
etc.), the pump must be checked for ease of rotation while it is switched off. Detailed instructions for removing and replacing
the mechanical seal begin on page 16.
WARNING: Before servicing the pump, switch off the circuit breakers at the power source. Severe personal injury or death
may occur if the pump starts while your hand is inside the pump.
CAUTION: The pump must be protected when freezing temperatures are expected. Allowing the pump to freeze will cause
severe damage and void the warranty.
There are two options when winterizing the pump
Option 1:
1. Drain all the water from the pump, system equipment, and piping.
2. Remove drain plugs.
DO NOT
replace plugs. Store the plugs in the empty strainer basket for winter.
3. Keep the motor covered and dry.
Option 2:
1. Drain all the water from the pump, system equipment, and piping.
2. Remove the pump and motor from the plumbing and store indoors in a warm and dry location.
NOTE: When the winter season is over the pump will need to be check and primed prior to start. Refer to Section 4 Operation,
Start Up Guide.
CAUTION: DO NOT run the pump dry. If the pump is run dry, the mechanical seal will be damaged and the pump will start to
leak at the seal. If this occurs, the mechanical seal will need to be replaced. ALWAYS maintain the proper water level in your
pool. Continued operation in this manner could cause a loss of pressure, resulting in damage to the pump casing, impeller,
and mechanical seal.
