OPERATION
NOTICE: NEVER run pump dry. Running pump dry may damage seals, caus-
ing leakage and flooding. Fill pump with water before starting motor.
Before removing trap cover:
1. STOP PUMP before proceeding.
2. CLOSE GATE VALVES in suction and discharge pipes.
3. RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from pump and piping system.
4. NEVER tighten or loosen clamp while pump is operating.
If pump is being pressure tested, release all pressure before removing
trap cover.
Do not block pump suction. To do so with body may cause severe or
fatal injury. Small children using pool must ALWAYS have close adult
supervision.
Priming Pump
Release all air from filter and piping system: see filter owner’s manual.
In a flooded suction system (water source higher than pump), pump will prime
itself when suction and discharge valves are opened.
If pump is not in a flooded suction system, unscrew and remove trap cover;
fill trap and pump with water.
Lubricate trap cover “O” Ring with petroleum jelly each time it is removed.
Clean and inspect “O” Ring; reinstall on trap cover.
Replace trap cover on trap; turn clockwise to tighten cover.
NOTICE: Tighten trap cover by hand only (no wrenches)! Use a wrench only
if necessary to remove lid!
Pump should prime now. Priming time will depend on vertical length of suc-
tion lift and horizontal length of suction piping.
If pump does not prime, make sure that all valves are open, suction pipe end
is under water, pump suction is below water level, and that there are no leaks
in suction pipe. See Troubleshooting Guide, Page 11.
Storage/Winterizing:
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.
Hazardous suction.
Can trap hair or
body parts, causing
severe injury
or death.
Do not block
suction.
