4. Before removing the pre-filter Lid, STOP PUMP, CLOSE GATE VALVES in suction and discharge pipes.
5.
Always STOP THE PUMP before when RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from the pump and the piping system before
proceeding.
6.
Never tighten or loosen screw while the pump is in operation.
7.
The suction pipe and the suction inlet in the pool must be free from obstruction.

Check the filter and other equipment for proper installation, verifying all clamps and connections are properly
installed as per the manufacturer's instructions.
3
.
Open any shut off valves on the suction and discharge lines.
4
.
Open the filter pressure relief valve and release all pressure from the system.
5
.
If the pump is located below the water level of the pool, opening the pressure relief valve will fill the pump with
water.
If the pump is located above the pool water level, remove the lid from the pre-filter and fill with water before
starting the pump.
Check to see that the lid O-ring and seat areas are clean and lubricated. Debris in the sealing area can cause air to
leak into the system and make it difficult to prime the pump.
Close/tighten the lid to make an airtight seal.
Turn on the pump.
If the pump does not prime and all instructions to this point have been followed, check for suction leaks and
repeat steps (1) through (8).
