Installation and Operation Manual
Section 4. Operation
4.1 Start-up
CAUTION
Never run the pump without water. Running the pump
“dry” for any length of time can cause severe damage
to both the pump and motor and will void the warranty
If this is a new pool installation, make sure all piping
is clear of construction debris and has been properly
pressure tested. If a filter is installed in the system, it
should be checked for proper installation, verifying that
all connections and clamps are secure according to the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
WARNING
To avoid risk of damage or injury, verify that all power
is turned off before starting this procedure.
1.
If a filter is intalled in the system, release all
pressure from the system and open the filter
pressure release valve.
2.
If the pump is located below the water level of
the pool, opening the lid should allow water to
fill the basket area. If a filter is installed in the
system, opening the filter pressure release valve
will prime the pump with water.
3.
If the pump is located above the water level of
the pool, remove the lid and fill the basket with
water before starting the pump.
4.
To prevent air from leaking into the system,
remove any debris around the lid seal seat.
5.
Hand-tighten the lid to make an air tight seal. Do
not use any tools: hand-tighten only. Ensure that
the lid is secure. Make sure all valves are open
and the unions are tight.
6.
Restore power to the pump, then turn on the
pump.
7.
If a filter is installed in the system, when all the
air has left the filter, close the filter pressure
release valve.
8.
The pump should prime. The time it takes to
prime will depend on the elevation and length of
pipe used on the suction supply pipe. See
Section 3.1.3.3, Installation Recommendations
for proper elevation and pipe size.
9.
If the pump does not prime and all the
instructions to this point have been followed,
check for a suction leak and then repeat Steps 2
through 7.

Support Department at (800) 822-7933.
Section 5. Service and
Maintenance
5.1 Routine Maintenance
Inspect the pump basket for debris by looking through
the clear pump lid. Remove any debris, because as debris
accumulates, it will begin to block the flow of water
through the pump. Keep the basket clean to improve the
performance of the pump.
1.
Turn off the power to the pump. If the pump is
located below water level, close the isolation
valves on the suction and discharge sides of the
pump to prevent backflow of water.
2.
Turn the lid's locking ring counter-clockwise
until the 'START' marking aligns with the ports.
Carefully remove the locking ring and the lid.
CAUTION
A misaligned basket will cause the lid to be improper-ly
seated, allowing an air leak, which could result in pump
damage.
3.
Lift the basket out of the pump. Dispose of all
debris and thoroughly clean the basket, making
sure all the holes are open. Using a garden hose,
spray the basket from the outside to help clear the
holes. Remove any remaining debris by hand.
4.
Replace the basket in the pump by aligning the
open section of the basket with the inlet pipe. If
aligned properly, the basket will drop easily into
place. Do not force it into place.
5.
Remove the lid seal and remove debris around
the lid groove, as this will cause air leaks in the
system. Clean the lid groove and the lid seal.
6.
Note that one (1) side of the lid seal has two (2)
ribs and the other has one (1). Place the side with
two (2) ribs into the groove. See Figure 2.
