1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING -
A clearly labeled emergency shut-off switch for the pump must be in
an easily accessible, obvious place.
TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF INJURY DUE TO SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD:
Make sure users know where it is and how to use it in case of emergency.
For Installation of Electrical Controls at Equipment Pad (ON/OFF Switches, Timers
and Automation Load Center)
CAUTION -
Install all electrical controls at equipment pad, such as on/off switches,
timers, and control systems, etc. to allow the operation (startup, shut-down, or servicing)
of any pump or filter so the user does not place any portion of his/her body over or near
the pump strainer lid, filter lid or valve closures. This installation should allow the user
enough space to stand clear of the filter and pump during system start-up, shut down or
servicing of the system filter.
DANGER -HAZARDOUS PRESSURE: STAND CLEAR OF PUMP AND FILTER
DURING START UP
Circulation systems operate under high pressure. When any part of the circulating
system (i.e. locking ring, pump, filter, valves, etc.) is serviced, air can enter the system
and become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the pump housing cover, filter lid,
and valves to violently separate which can result in severe personal injury or death. Filter
tank lid and strainer cover must be properly secured to prevent violent separation. Stand
clear of all circulation system equipment when turning on or starting up pump.
Before servicing equipment, make note of the filter pressure. Be sure that all controls are
set to ensure the system cannot inadvertently start during service. Turn off all power to
the pump.
IMPORTANT: Place filter manual air relief valve in the open position and
wait for all pressure in the system to be relieved.
Before starting the system, fully open the manual air relief valve and place all system
valves in the “open” position to allow water to flow freely from the tank and back to the
tank. Stand clear of all equipment and start the pump.
IMPORTANT: Do not close filter manual air relief valve until all pressure has been
discharged from the valve and a steady stream of water appears. Observe filter
pressure gauge and be sure it is not higher than the pre-service condition.
General Installation Information
• All work must be performed by a qualified service professional, and must conform to all
national, state, and local codes.
• Install to provide drainage of compartment for electrical components.
• These instructions contain information for a variety of pump models and therefore
some instructions may not apply to a specific model. All models are intended for use in
swimming pool applications. The pump will function correctly only if it is properly sized to
the specific application and properly installed.
