3. Remove strainer basket and clean. Be sure all holes in basket are clear,
flush basket with water and replace in trap with large opening at pipe con-
nection port (between ribs provided). If basket is replaced backwards cover
will not fit on trap body.
4. Clean and inspect lid O-Ring; reinstall on trap cover.
5. Clean O-Ring groove on trap body and replace lid. To help keep lid from
sticking, tighten
hand tight only (no wrenches!)
.
6. Prime pump (see priming instructions).
Draining Pump
1. Pump down water level below all inlets to the pool.
To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock hazard, turn OFF power to
motor before draining pump.
2. Remove trap cover and use low pressure air to blow accumulated water
from the piping system. Lugs have been provided on the trap lid to use a
lever or pry bar for loosening.
3. Cap inlet piping after draining to keep water out of the pipes.
4. To prevent pump from freezing, remove trap cover and drain the tank body
through the drain plugs (Key No. 19, Pages 14 - 18). Clean pump and trap
basket thoroughly; replace trap cover.
NOTICE:
Tighten trap cover by hand only
(no wrenches)!
Use a lever or
wrench only if necessary to remove cover! If pump is not anchored, use
caution not to break attached piping!
5. Be sure motor is kept dry and covered.
Storage/Winterizing:
Explosion hazard. Purging the system with compressed air can
cause components to explode, with risk of severe injury or death to anyone
nearby.
Use only a low pressure (below 5 PSI), high volume blower when air
purging the pump, filter, or piping.
NOTICE:
Allowing pump to freeze will damage pump and void warranty!
NOTICE: Do not
use anti-freeze solutions (except propylene glycol) in your
pool/spa system. Propylene glycol is non-toxic and will not damage plastic
system components; other anti-freezes are highly toxic and may damage plas-
tic components in the system.
Drain all water from pump and piping when expecting freezing temperatures
or when storing pump for a long time (see instructions below).
Keep motor dry and covered during storage.
To avoid condensation/corrosion problems,
do not
cover pump with plastic.
For outdoor/unprotected installations:
1. Gravity drain system as far as possible.
2. Protect areas which retain water with non-toxic propylene glycol antifreeze
(“RV antifreeze”).
3. Enclose entire system in a weatherproof enclosure.
4. To avoid condensation/corrosion damage, allow ventilation;
do not
wrap
system in plastic.
5. Use a 40% propylene glycol/60% water solution to protect pump to -50°F
(-46°C).
Hazardous voltage.
Can shock, burn,
or cause death.
Disconnect power
before working
on pump or motor.
