HAYWARD SELF-PRIMING SUPER PUMP
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Your Hayward self-priming centrifugal pump has been quality built and engineered to
is such that operation and maintenance has been reduced to simple, common-sense
procedures.
GENERAL TIPS ON PUMP INSTALLATION
Locate the pump as close to the pool as practical and run
suction line as direct as possible. This cuts down on
Never overtighten pipe connections — use only pipe
Tape, Permatex No. 2, etc. Suction line should have
continuous slope from lowest point in line. Make sure
suction joints are tight.
Suction pipe should be as large or larger than discharge
pipe.
Damp, non-ventilated locations should be avoided.
Motors require free circulation of air to aid in cooling.
Insure electrical supply agrees with motor voltage,
phase and cycle, and that wire size is adequate for the
HP/KW rating and distance from power source. Motor
must always be properly grounded. Electrical circuits
should be protected by proper size ground fault circuit
interrupter. Electrical wiring should be performed by
and regulations.
STARTING AND PRIMING INSTRUCTIONS
Fill strainer/housing with water to suction pipe level.
Never operate the pump without water. Water
acts as a coolant and lubricant for the mechanical shaft
seal.
Open all suction and discharge valves, as well as air
displaced from the suction line must have someplace to
go.)
Turn on power and allow a reasonable time for priming.
Five minutes is not unreasonable. (Priming time
depends on suction lift and horizontal length of suction
piping). If pump will not start, or will not prime, see
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE on back page.
MAINTENANCE
Clean strainer basket regularly. Do not strike basket to
clean. Inspect strainer cover gasket regularly and
replace as necessary.
Hayward pumps have self-lubricating motor bearings
and shaft seals. No lubrication is necessary.
Keep motor clean. Insure air vents are free from
obstruction.
Occasionally, shaft seals become damaged or worn
and must be replaced. See instructions.
WINTERIZING/STORAGE
Drain pump by removing drain plug(s) and store in
strainer basket.
Disconnect electrical wires and pipe connections,
and store pump in a dry, well-ventilated room. Or, as a
minimum precaution: Disconnect electrical wires.
Remove four bolts holding bracket and motor
assembly to Strainer/ Housing and store assembly in
a dry, well-ventilated room. Protect remaining
Strainer/Housing assembly from the elements by
covering.
NOTE:
Before Re-Activating pump, thoroughly clean and
remove scale, dirt, etc.
