Use and Care Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Hazardous Pressure: Pool and spa water circulation systems operate under hazardous pressure during

start-up, normal operation, and after pump shut-off. Stand clear of circulation system equipment during

pump start-up. Failure to follow safety and operation instructions could result in violent separation of the

pump housing and cover due to pressure in the system, which could cause property damage, severe

personal injury, or death. Before servicing pool and spa water circulation system, all system and pump

controls must be in off position and lter manual air relief valve must be in open position. Before starting

system pump, all system valves must be set in a position to allow system water to return back to the pool.

DO NOT change lter control valve position while system pump is running. Before starting system pump,

fully open lter manual air relief valve. DO NOT close lter manual air relief valve until a steady stream

of water (not air or air and water) is discharged. All suction and discharge valves MUST be OPEN when

starting the circulation system. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury and/or property

damage.

Separation Hazard: Failure to follow safety and operation instructions could result in violent separation of

pump components. Strainer cover must be properly secured to pump housing with strainer cover lock ring.

Before servicing pool and spa circulation system, all system and pump controls must be in off position and

lter manual air relief valve must be in open position. DO NOT operate pool and spa circulation system if

a system component is not assembled properly, damaged, or missing. DO NOT operate pool and spa

circulation system unless lter air relief valve body is in locked position in lter upper body. All

suction and discharge valves MUST be OPEN when starting the circulation system. Failure to do so could

result in severe personal injury and/or property damage. Never operate or test the circulation system at

more than 40 PSI.

Fire and Burn Hazard: Motors operate at high temperatures and if they are not properly isolated from

any ammable structures or foreign debris they can cause res, which may cause severe personal injury

or death. It is also necessary to allow the motor to cool for at least 20 minutes prior to maintenance to

minimize the risk for burns.

This product should be installed and serviced only by a qualied professional.

If pump is being pressure tested (40 PSI MAXIMUM), be sure pressure has been released, using the

lter manual air relief valve, before removing strainer cover.

NEVER run pump dry. Running pump dry may damage seals, causing leakage, ooding, and voids

warranty. Fill strainer housing with water before starting motor.

Match supply voltage to motor nameplate voltage. Insure that the electrical supply available agrees with

the motor’s voltage, phase, and cycle, and that the wire size is adequate for the H.P. (KW) rating and

distance from the power source.

All suction and discharge valves MUST be OPEN, as well as lter air relief valve (if available) on lter,

when starting the circulating pump system. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury.

To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock hazard, turn OFF power to motor before draining pump.

Failure to disconnect power may result in serious personal injury or death.
