IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS HAZARDOUS PRESSURE: STAND CLEAR OF PUMP AND FILTER DURING START UP. Circulation systems operate under high pressure. When
any part of the circulating system (i.e. locking ring, pump,
filter, valves, etc.) is serviced, air can enter the system
and become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the
pump housing cover, filter lid, and valves to violently
separate which can result in severe personal injury or death. Filter tank lid and
strainer cover must be properly secured to prevent violent separation. Stand
clear of all circulation system equipment when turning on or starting up pump.
Before servicing equipment, make note of the filter pressure. Be sure that
all controls are set to ensure the system cannot inadvertently start during
service. Turn off all power to the pump.
IMPORTANT: Place filter manual air relief valve in the open position and wait for all pressure in the system to be relieved. Before starting the system, fully open the manual air relief valve and place
all system valves in the “open” position to allow water to flow freely from the
tank and back to the tank. Stand clear of all equipment and start the pump.
IMPORTANT: Do not close filter manual air relief valve until all pressure has been discharged from the valve and a steady stream of water appears. Observe filter pressure gauge and be sure it is not higher than the
pre-service condition.
General Installation Information •
All work must be performed by a qualified service professional, and must
conform to all national, state, and local codes.
•
Install to provide drainage of compartment for electrical components.
•
These instructions contain information for a variety of pump models and
therefore some instructions may not apply to a specific model. All models
are intended for use in swimming pool applications. The pump will function
correctly only if it is properly sized to the specific application and properly
installed.
Pumps improperly sized or installed or used in
applications other than for which the pump was
intended can result in severe personal injury or death. These risks may
include but not be limited to electric shock, fire, flooding, suction entrapment
or severe injury or property damage caused by a structural failure of the
pump or other system component.
