4.
Gently tap the clamp in a counter clockwise direction to remove the clamp and lid from the pump.
5.
Put the debris from the basket into the trash and rinse out the basket. If the basket is cracked, it should be
replaced.
6.
Replace the basket and fill the pump pot and volute up to the inlet port with water.
7.
Clean the Lid, lid O-ring and sealing surface of the pump pot. Grease the O-ring with Teflon or silicon grease.
NEVER USE PETROLEUM BASED GREASE AS THEY DEGRADE THE O-RINGS
8.
Reinstall the lid by placing the clamp and the lid on the pot.. Make sure the lid O-ring is properly placed. Seat the
clamp and lid then turn clockwise until handles are perpendicular to the inlet/outlet ports.
9.
Turn the power “ON” at the house circuit breaker. Rest the pool timer clock to the correct time.
10.
Open the High Flow manual air relief valve on top of the filter.
11.
Start the pump, while standing clear from the filter.
12.
Bleed air from the filter until a steady stream of water comes out. Close the high flow air relief valve.
WINTERIZING
1.
If the air temperature drops below 35ºF, the water in the pump can freeze and cause damage. Freeze damage is not
warrantable.
2.
To prevent freeze damage, follow the procedures listed below:
3.
Shut off electrical power for the pump at the house circuit breaker.
4.
Drain the water out of the pump case by removing the 2 thumb twist drain plugs from the pump body. Place the
plugs in the pump basket to prevent losing them.
5.
Cover the motor to protect it from severe rain, snow and ice
CARE OF THE ELECTRIC MOTOR
1.
Protect the motor from excess heat by shading it from direct sun light. Any enclosure must be well ventilated to
prevent overheating and provide ample cross ventilation
2.
Protect the motor from excess dirt and debris. Protect it from splashing water and foreign matter. Do not store
(or spill) pool chemicals near the motor. Avoid sweeping or stirring up dust near the motor while it is operating, if
the motor is damage by dirt it voids the motor warranty
3.
Protect the motor from excess moisture, splashing pool water, lawn sprinklers, rain. If the motor has become wet,
let it dry out before operating. Do not allow the pump to operate if it has been flooded. If the motor has been
damaged by water it voids the motor warranty.
NOTE: Do not wrap the motor with plastic or other airtight materials. The motor may be covered during a storm or for
winter storage, but never when operating or expecting operation.
WARNING:
DO NOT open the strainer pot if the pump fails to prime, or if the pump has been operating without water in the
strainer pot. Pumps operated in these circumstances may experience a buildup of vapour pressure and may contain
scalding hot water. Opening the pump may cause serious personal injury. In order to avoid the possibility of personal
injury, make sure the suction and discharge valves are open and the strainer pot temperature is cool to touch, then open
with extreme caution.
Maintenance Schedule: You new product incorporates moving parts and withstands high velocity water with
chemicals in it. Some of these parts will wear in the normal course of use and require regular checks and
maintenance. Performing these checks and maintenance will identify parts that have worn and require
repair/replacement before further serious damage is sustained. A small amount of regular care and attention to
your pool equipment will help ensure long life and trouble free performance.
To protect against extremes of temperature, your unit is vented to allow expensive electronics to cool. Ants
and some insects are often attracted to the warmer, dry environment inside the enclosure. We recommend
that, with power turned off, you spray a surface insecticide on the surfaces surrounding the control to prevent
ant and insect ingress. Repeat every three months or as necessary
