Operating Instructions
1. The filter pump will prime itself as long as it is positioned at least
8 inches below the highest water level in the pool. If for some
reason an airlock occurs, there is a relief valve located on the top
of the pump. Simply turn the valve knob counter-clockwise, and
when a small amount of water escapes, close immediately by
turning clockwise. The pump will now be completely primed.
2. Never operate the filter pump dry. This can cause damage to seals
which may result in leakage and/or flooding.
3. Prior to each use, check to ensure that all hoseclamps are
tightened.
4. Prior to each use, check to ensure that both inside wall plug caps
(P34) are open and strainers (P35) have been installed properly.
5. To prevent possible electric shock, do not attempt to plug in
electrical power cord with wet hands or while standing in water.
6. The filter pump must operate in the upright, vertical position.
7. The filter pump must be positioned on level, stable ground, and
the use of a riser or elevated platform is not recommended.
8. Once you have confirmed that steps 1 thru 7 has been
satisfactorily completed, turn on the pump by plugging its
electrical cord into a ground fault circuit interrupter outlet.
9. To preserve the full life of the pump and to keep the pool filtered
properly, your SA3766 pump should be run approximately 4 to 6
hours per day (Remember to not operate your pump while there
are bathers in the pool).
10. Overuse may cause overheating and /or motor burnout. Use good
judgement on extremely hot days and be mindful of running the
filter pump continuously for an extended period of time.
