FASTLANE POWER UNIT ASSEMBLY
Placement Considerations
The Power Unit should be elevated from the ground and placed on a flat surface. If placing
the Power Unit outside, it is recommended the Outdoor Power Unit with Weather Guard be
purchased to protect it against the everyday elements. If placing the unit indoors at a level
below the pool deck, such as a basement, a floor drain is mandatory to accommodate the
unlikely event of a hole developing in one of the hydraulic run hoses creating a siphon.
Whether placing indoors or outside, this is an air-cooled unit and must have ample
ventilation. Therefore, a minimum of 12” of air space must be provided on all sides of the
Power Unit motor. In addition, the Power Unit needs to be checked periodically for
maintenance and should be easily accessible.
1.
Carefully remove the Power Unit from the packaging.
NOTE: The Power Unit is
heavy.
2.
Place the Power Unit in the selected position and verify that the hose connections are
pointed in the direction you desire.
3.
Connect the hydraulic hoses that either hang over the pool wall or go through the
pool liner to the Power Unit.
NOTE: The low-pressure hose has red tape on the
end.
Connect the low-pressure line to the post at the fill cap and the high-pressure
line to the port with the proportional relief valve.
4.
Have an electrician make the electrical connections using the whip provided. Make
this connection by hard wiring to a disconnect or using an appropriate lock tight plug
and socket. The Power Unit requires a single-phase 220-volt, 30 amp GFCI
protected power. (Refer to Diagram #5: Power Unit Electrical Wiring.)
