SECTION 1 EQUIPMENT OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
1/1 LOCATION
1. Locate the pump as close to the pool as practical. Consult
local codes for minimum distance between pool and pump.
2. The piping should be as direct and free from turns or
bends as possible, as elbows and other fittings greatly
increase friction losses.
3. Place pump on a solid foundation which provides a rigid
and vibration-free support so that it is readily accessible for
service and maintenance.
4. Install the pump in a well ventilated location protected
from direct sunlight and excessive moisture. (rain,
sprinklers, etc.)
5. Protect the pump against flooding and excess moisture,
prevent foreign objects from clogging air circulation around
motor. All motors generate heat that must be removed by
providing proper ventilation.
6. DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
or liquids in the vicinity of this pump. DO NOT store pool
chemicals near the pump.
7. DO NOT remove any safety alert labels such as DANGER,
WARNING, or CAUTION. Keep safety labels in good
condition and replace missing or damaged labels.
8. Provide access for future services by leaving a clear area
around the pump. Allow plenty of space above the pump to
remove lid and basket for cleaning.
1/2 INSTALLATION
1. When connecting pipework to pump with threaded ports
it is recommended that thread seal tape be used. If the
suction pipe is not sealed correctly, the pump will not prime
properly and will pump small volumes of water or none at
all.
2. When installing the pump, care should be taken to
see that the suction line is below water level to a point
immediately beneath and the pump to ensure quick priming
via a flooded suction line. The height between the pump
and the water level should not be more than five (5) feet.
3. Suction and discharge line should be independently
supported at a point near the pump to avoid strains being
placed on the pump.
4. It is recommended to install a gate check valve in both
the suction and discharge line in the event that the pump
must be removed for servicing.
5. Before starting the pump for the first time, remove the
see-through lid. (Turn lid ring counterclockwise to remove.)
Fill strainer tank with water until it is level with the suction
inlet. Replace lid with locking ring. Hand-tighten the lid to
make an air-tight seal. DO NOT use any tools to tighten
the lid.
6. When installing and using the motor, basic safety
precautions should be done by a licensed electrician in
accordance with local codes. Be certain that the motor
frame is grounded. Motor name plate has voltage, phase,
ampere draw and other motor information as well as wiring
connection instructions.
BONDING: As required by National Electrical Code Article
680-22, the pump motor must be electrically bonded to
the pool structure (reinforced bars, etc.) by a solid copper
conductor not smaller than #8 AWG (8.4 mm
2
) wire via the
external copper bonding lug on the pump motor.
GROUNDING: Permanently ground the pump motor using
a conductor of appropriate size. Connect to the #10 green
headed ground screw provided inside the motor terminal
box,
For more information about the motor operation refer to
the motor manual (refer to page 9).
NOTE: DO NOT connect to electric power supply until the
unit is permanently grounded
1/3 MAINTENANCE
The pump requires little or no service other than reasonable
care and periodic cleaning of the strainer basket. DO NOT
strike basket to clean. When cleaning the basket inspect
the lid o-ring for damage and replace if necessary.
NOTE: It is normal for a few drops of water to escape from
the mechanical seal from time to time. This is especially
true during the break-in period.
The mechanical seal may come worn and/or loose during the
course of time, depending on the running time and water
quality. If water continually leaks out, a new mechanical
seal should be fitted. After long periods of NOT operational
(seasonal storage, etc.), the pump must be checked for ease
of rotation while it is switched off.
WARNING: Before servicing the pump, switch off the
circuit breakers at the power source. Severe personal injury
or death may occur if the pump starts while your hand is
inside the pump.
