DANGER:
Risk of fire and burns. Motors run at high temperatures. To reduce the risk of fire, do not allow leaves, debris, or
foreign matter to collect around the pump motor. To avoid burns when handling the motor, let it cool for 20 minutes before trying
to work on it. An automatic internal cutoff switch protects the motor from heat damage during operation.
DANGER:
Hazardous Suction. Can trap hair or body, causing severe injury or death. Do not block suction. Keep small children
under close adult supervision at all times.
NOTE:
Do NOT run the pump dry! It will void your warranty and may damage seals, causing leakage and flooding.
Fill the pump with water before starting the motor.
BEFORE REMOVING THE TRAP COVER
1. CLOSE GATE VALVES in suction and discharge pipes.
2. RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from pump and piping system.
If the pump is being pressure tested, be sure pressure has been released before removing the trap cover.
PRIMING PUMP
Release all pressure from the filter, pump, and piping system; see the filter owner’s manual. In a flooded suction system (water source
higher than pump), pump will prime automatically when suction and discharge valves are opened. If the pump is located above the normal
pool water level, remove ring and cover assembly and slowly fill the basket and pump with water. Clean and inspect the O-ring and reinstall
on the trap. Replace the ring and cover assembly and rotate clockwise to tighten the cover (see Figure 3).
The clamp ring must engage with the pump body. Push down and rotate until the internal stops are felt. Properly aligned tabs shown above
in Figure 3. Ensure the lid is securely clamped. Failure to tighten clamp ring as indicated will reduce product strength, resulting in failure of
components, and bodily injury.
NOTE:
Pump prime time will depend on vertical distance and length of suction line. If the pump does not prime, make sure that all valves are
open and the suction pipe is submerged. Verify there are no leaks in suction lines. See Troubleshooting Guide for further assistance.
Maintenance
All of our pumps are shipped from the factory with DANGER and/or WARNING labels already on the pump. These labels contain a series
of basic, yet extremely important safety messages for the user and bystander. Regardless of how well these labels are attached or how
scratch resistant or wear-resistant they may be, it is possible that, in time, the wording may become illegible with normal use. Whenever
you are repairing the pump, performing routine maintenance, or have the opportunity to inspect the pump, make sure the label is readable.
If the label is not legible, replace the label with an adhesive version that is available at no charge by calling 1-888-658-1594. The unit must
be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the
installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset
button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the pump
without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this pump.
Disconnect the pump and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
Use only parts supplied by the manufacturer. Similar looking parts may not have sufficient strength for safe operation.
The only routine maintenance needed is inspection/cleaning of the strainer basket. Debris or trash that collects in the basket will choke off
water flow through the pump.
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN THE BASKET
A. Stop the pump, disconnect power at its source, lock out power, place a tag on the dedicated GFCI circuit breaker indicating the power is
to remain OFF, close valves in suction and discharge, and release pressure from the system.
