2. Use equipment only in a pool or spa installation.
3. Install pump with at least 2 hydraulically balanced
main drains equipped with correctly installed, screw-
fastened, anti-entrapment certified covers. See Page 4.
4. Trapped air in system can cause explosion. BE SURE
all air is out of system before operating or testing
equipment.
Before pressure testing, make the following safety
checks:
• Check all clamps, bolts, lids, and system accessories
before testing.
• Release all air in system before testing.
•
Water pressure for test must be less than 25 PSI
(7.5 kg/cm
2
).
• Water Temperature for test must be less than 100
o
F
(38
o
C).
• Limit test to 24 hours. After test, visually check system
to be sure it is ready for operation. Remove trap lid and
retighten hand tight only.
NOTICE:
These parameters apply to Sta-Rite equipment
only. For non-Sta-Rite equipment, consult manufacturer.
INSTALLATION
Only qualified, licensed personnel should install pump
and wiring.
Pump mount must:
Be located away from corrosive or flammable chemicals.
Have enough ventilation to maintain air temperature at less
than the maximum ambient temperature rating (Max. Amb.)
listed on the motor model plate. If this pump is installed in
an enclosure/pump house, the enclosure must have ade-
quate ventilation and air circulation to keep the tempera-
ture in the enclosure at or below the motor’s rated ambient
temperature whenever the pump is running.
Be solid - Level - Rigid - Vibration free - Non-com-
bustible. (To reduce vibration and pipe stress, bolt pump
to mount.)
Allow pump suction inlet height to be as close to water
level as possible.
Allow use of short, direct suction pipe (To reduce friction
losses).
Allow for gate valves in suction and discharge piping.
Have adequate floor drainage to prevent flooding.
Be protected from excess moisture.
Allow adequate access for servicing pump and piping.

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Always follow basic safety precautions with this
equipment, including the following.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not per-
mit children to use this product unless they are closely
supervised at all times.
This pump is for use with permanently
installed pools and may also be used with hot tubs and
spas if so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A
permanently installed pool is constructed in or on the
ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily
disassembled for storage. A storable pool is con-
structed so that it may be readily disassembled for stor-
age and reassembled to its original integrity.
