Installation Requirements
•
Thoroughly clean and flush the system prior to
pump installation
•
Ensure that water does not enter the terminal box
during the installation process.
•
DO NOT START THE PUMP UNTIL THE
SYSTEM HAS BEEN FILLED AND CHECKED
FOR LEAKS.
•
Do not use the pump to vent the system.
•
Never operate the pump dry. The bearings
require water lubrication and will be damaged
otherwise.
•
Fill system with water. This will result in immedi-
ate lubrication of the bearings.
•
Operate the pump for 5 minutes, when control
installation is complete, to purge remaining air
from the bearing chamber. This is especially
important when installing the pump during the off-
season.
