Technical data

THE SHAFT SEAL (MECHANICAL SEAL)
1. The Shaft Seal consists primarily of two parts, a rotating member and a ceramic seal. See Figure 4.
2. The pump requires little or no service other than reasonable care, however, a Shaft Seal may occasionally
become damaged and must be replaced.

additional detail)
NOTE:
It is important that the O-rings be kept clean and well lubricated.
We recommend a silicone based lubricant for best results. DO NOT
USE PETROLEUM-BASED GREASE ON SEALS OR O-RINGS.
SECTION 4. RESTART INSTRUCTIONS
If pump is installed below the water level of the pool, close return and suction lines prior to opening hair and lint pot
on pump. Make sure to re-open valves prior to operating.
NOTE: Continued operation in this manner could cause a loss of pressure, resulting in damage to the pump case,
impeller and seal.
PRIMING THE PUMP
NOTE: The pump strainer pot must be lled with water before the pump is initially started.
Follow these steps to prime the pump:
1. Remove the pump lid plastic clamp. Remove the pump lid.
2. Fill the pump strainer pot with water.
3. Reassemble the pump cover and plastic clamp onto the strainer pot. The pump is now ready to prime.
4. Open the air release valve on the lter, and stand clear of the lter.
5. Turn on the switch or time clock.
6. When water comes out of the air release valve, close the valve. The system should now be free of air and re-
circulating water to and from the pool.
For 2-speed pumps:
1. Pump should run on high-speed for priming.
2. The pump should not run longer than 8 minutes before priming is achieved.
