INSTALLATION
(Have a trained pool professional perform all pressure tests). Before pressure
testing, make the following safety checks:
1.
Check all clamps, bolts, lids, and system accessories prior to testing.
2.
Release all air in system before testing.
3.
Tighten trap lid to 4.1kg-m torque for testing.
4.
Water pressure for test must be less than 170kPa (25 PSI).
5.
Water tempertaure for test must be less than 38°C.
6.
Limit test to 24 hours. After test, visually check system to be sure it is ready for

Fire and burn hazard. Modern motors run at high temperatures. To reduce risk of fire,
do not allow leaves, debris, or foreign matter to collect around the pump motor. To
avoid burns when handling the motor, let it cool for at least 20 minutes before trying
to work on it. A thermal overload switch protects the motor from heat damage during
operation.
