IMPORTANT:
INSTRUCTIONS AND
SAFETY INFORMATION
If you have purchased a filtration
system, follow the instructions
provided with your filter instructing
you to prepare the filter and pump
foundation using patio blocks and a
level.
Failure to use a pump base will cause
the motor to overheat and will void
any warranty.
Install filter and pump a minimum of 6
feet from the pool wall so they may
not be used as steps by children.
PUMP ASSEMBLY
1. Align the rectangle peg on the
base with the mating hole in the
pump housing (see pic below)
and refer to exploded view. Turn
the pump upside down and place
the pump base into the notches in
the pump. Attach the pump to the
pump base using the four (4) 5/8"
hex head screws supplied.
2. Place the O-rings over the
threads of the hose adaptors and
screw them into the intake and
discharge ports on the pump.
Caution: Do not over-tighten.
INITIAL START-UP
1. If you have a Doughboy filtration
system, follow the "Initial Start-
Up" instructions in the filter
owner's guide.
2.
For best results, be sure to
select the HI speed switch
setting for initial startup, pump
priming, vacuuming and
backwashing the filter.
Use the
LO speed switch setting for
surface skimming and filtering
over a longer period of time or
when energy savings is desired.
3. If this pump has been purchased
as a replacement (and you are
not referring to the filter
instructions), the pump will have
to be primed after all hose
connections have been made and
pool has been filled to the proper
level. To prime the pump, loosen
the pump strainer pot lid to allow
air to escape. Tighten lid when
water begins to flow between
strainer pot body and lid. Do not
overtighten.
CLEANING STRAINER
BASKET
1. Stop pump. Insert a winterizing
disk, or stuff a rag into the return
fitting to close off water flow from
the pool.
2. Remove skimmer basket. Stuff a
rag into the bottom of the
skimmer outlet port.
3. Remove strainer pot lid, lift out
basket, and clean thoroughly.
When replacing the basket, align
notch in basket with rib in strainer
pot. Clean and lubricate O-ring
with a non-petroleum lubricant.
Consult your pool store for proper
lubricant. Replace lid. Remove
winterizing disk and/or rags, and
replace basket and skimmer lid.
Only hand-tighten the lid.
MAINTENANCE
Make sure the pump is discon-
nected from the electrical source
before attempting any maintenance
work.
LUBRICATION:
Periodically lubricate the O-ring under
the strainer cover with a non-
petroleum lubricant recommended for
A.B.S., Noryl and Acrylic plastics.
Consult your pool dealer for lubricant
selections.
If you have questions or require
assistance, contact your local pool
dealer.
