that have been overtightened or have taken a set and
cannot be removed by hand. Lugs have been provided
on the trap lid to use a lever or pry bar for loosening.
4. Cap inlet piping after draining to keep water out of
the pipes.
5. Be sure motor is kept dry and covered.
Storage/Winterizing:
Explosion hazard. Purging the system with
compressed air can cause components to explode, with
risk of severe injury or death to anyone nearby. Use only
a low pressure (below 5 PSI), high volume blower when
air purging the pump, filter, or piping.
Pool chemicals may give off corrosive
fumes. Store chemicals away from pump in a well
ventilated area.
NOTICE: Allowing pump to freeze will damage pump
and void warranty!
NOTICE: Do not use anti-freeze solutions (except
propylene glycol) in your pool/spa system. Propylene
glycol is non-toxic and will not damage plastic system
components; other anti-freezes are highly toxic and may
also damage plastic components in the system.
Drain all water from pump and piping when expecting
freezing temperatures or when storing pump for a long
time (see instructions below).
Keep motor dry and covered during storage.
To avoid condensation/corrosion problems, do not
cover pump with plastic.
For outdoor/unprotected installations:
1. Gravity drain system as far as possible.
2. Protect areas which retain water with non-toxic
propylene glycol antifreeze (“RV antifreeze”).
3. Enclose entire system in a weatherproof enclosure.
4. To avoid condensation/corrosion damage, allow
ventilation; do not wrap system in plastic.
5. Use a 40% propylene glycol/60% water solution to
protect pump to -50 degrees F (-46 degrees C).
Startup For Winterized Equipment
1. Remove any temporary weather protection placed
around system.
2. Follow filter manufacturer’s instructions for
reactivation of the filter.
3. Inspect all electrical wiring for damage or
deterioration over the shutdown period. Have a
qualified serviceman repair wiring as needed.
4. Inspect and tighten all watertight connections.
5. Open all valves in suction and return piping.
6. Remove any winterizing plugs in piping system.
7. Drain all antifreeze from system.
8. Close all drain valves and replace all drain plugs in
piping system.
9. Prime pump according to instructions on Page 9.
PUMP
SERVICE
Pump should only be
serviced by qualified
personnel.
For best results, use only
genuine Sta-Rite factory
parts.
Be sure to prime pump (Page
9) before starting.
Before removing trap
cover:
1. STOP PUMP before
proceeding.
2. CLOSE GATE VALVES in
suction and discharge
pipes.
3. RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from pump and piping
system.
4. NEVER tighten or loosen clamp while pump is
operating.
To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock
hazard, turn OFF power to motor before working
on pump or motor.
Aside from lubricating trap cover O-Ring, no lubrication
or regular maintenance is needed beyond reasonable
care and periodic cleaning.
If shaft seal is worn or damaged, repair as follows:
Pump Disassembly/Removing Old Seal
Disconnect power to pump motor.
Be sure gate valves on suction and return piping
are closed before starting work.
Release all pressure by opening all vents before
starting work.
1. Drain pump by removing drain plugs on bottom of
pump body and trap body.
2. After making sure that there is no pressure in trap
body, remove cover
(unscrew by turning counterclockwise).
3. Remove clamp holding pump halves together.
4. Remove pump base mounting bolts, if used. Motor
and seal plate assembly can now be pulled away
from pump body.
5. Remove five screws and washers holding diffuser to
seal plate.
Hazardous voltage.
Can shock, burn,
or cause death.
Disconnect power
before working
on pump or motor.
