SECTION 1 EQUIPMENT OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
3/1 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.
3/2 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 on page 10.
NOTE:
Do not connect to electric power supply until the
unit is permanently grounded
3/3 MAINTENANCE
The pump requires little or no service other than reasonable
care and periodic cleaning of the strainer basket.
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.
Place a screwdriver, Allen Wrench or appropriate tool in the
end of the motor shaft and turn it clockwise. OR Remove
the fan cover and turn the fan in a clockwise direction
manually. This may require removal of the cover at the rear
of the motor or small circular cap at the rear center of the
motor.
