Turn on the power and wait for the pump to prime, which may take up to five (5) minutes. Priming
time will depend on the vertical length of the suction lift and the horizontal length of thesuction pipe.
If the pump does not prime within five minutes, stop the motor and determine the cause. Make sure all
suction and discharge valves are open when the pump is running.See Troubleshooting Guide.
PRIMING
Fill strainer housing with water to suction pipe level. If water leakage occurs anywhere on the pump
or filter, DO NOT start the pump. If no leakage occurs, stand at least 10 feet from the pump and/or
filter and proceed with starting the pump.
STORAGE
In order to keep the pump from the freeze in winter, please drain the pump properly:
• Keep the water level below the inlet of the pool.
• Pull out the drain plug from the pump strainer body and
remove the strainer lid.
• Disconnect pump from mounting pad, wiring system, and
piping system.
• Once water is drained off from the pump, reassemble the
strainer lid and drain plugs.
• Place pump in a shady and dry area.
Voltage from the power must be in the range from 90% to 110% of the motor nameplate rated
voltage. Otherwise, the motor may overheat and result in overload tripping and reduced
component life.
Install, ground, bond, and wire motor in accordance with local or NEC requirements.
The motor should be grounded permanently by connecting the ground terminal to the electrical service
ground.
Bond motor to pool structure. Bonding will connect all metal parts within and around the pool with
a continuous wire.
Bonding reduces the risk of current passing between bonded metal objects, which could potentially
cause electrical shock if grounded or shorted.
If any problem is found on the pump, see the Troubleshooting Guide to determine the cause and
contact the distributor to get spare parts for replacement. See Parts Guide.
SERVICING
Check the status of the pump regularly. Clean the strainer immediately if it is full of debris. Make
sure the environment is ventilated enough for the motor to cool itself.
Warning:
Stop the pump and release all pressure from the circulation system before servicing.
