INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed,

including the following: Failure to follow instructions may result in injury.

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING -

To reduce risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.

CAUTION -

This pump is U.L. listed for permanently installed pools and may also be used with hot tubs and spas if so marked.

It is not U.L. listed for storable pools. A permanently installed pool is constructed in or on the ground and cannot be readily

disassembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it may be readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to

its original integrity.

If installed within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt of a hot tub or spa, adequate ventilation and free circulation of air must

be provided to prevent overheating of the motor.

Use motor bonding lug to connect the motor with other bonding parts using a #8 AWG conductor as required by electrical codes.

NOTE:

If your pump is equipped with a 3 ft. (1 m) cord and twist lock plug, items 5 through 8 apply.

WARNING -

Risk of Electric Shock. Connect only to a grounding-type receptacle protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter

(GFCI).

Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the receptacle is protected by a GFCI.

Do not bury cord. Locate cord to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and other equipment.

WARNING -

To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace damaged cord immediately.

WARNING -

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use extension cord to connect unit to electric supply; provide a properly

located outlet.

GENERAL TIPS

ON

PUMP INSTALLATION

For best pump performance, locate the system below the

pool water line and as close to the pool as practical.

Make sure suction joints are tight. Suction pipe

should be as large or larger than discharge pipe.

Damp, non-ventilated locations should be avoided.

Motors require free circulation of air to aid in cooling.

Insure that the electrical supply available agrees with the

motor’s voltage, phase and cycle, and that wire size is

adequate for the HP (KW) rating and distance from power

source.

Motor must always be properly grounded. If cord

connected, use only a properly grounded outlet. Electrical

circuits must be protected by proper size ground fault

circuit interrupter (GFCI) as required by applicable

electrical codes. All electrical wiring must be performed

by qualified personnel, and must conform to local codes

and regulations.

STARTING

AND

PRIMING

INSTRUCTIONS

Fill strainer housing with water to suction pipe level.

Never operate the pump without water. Water acts as a

coolant and lubricant for the mechanical shaft seal.

Open all suction and discharge lines and valves, as well

as air bleed (if available) on filter. (The air that is to be

displaced from the suction line must have some place to

go.)

CAUTION: All suction and discharge valves must be

open when starting the system. Failure to do so could

result in severe personal injury and/or property

damage.

Turn on power and allow a reasonable time for priming.

Priming time depends on suction lift and horizontal length

of suction piping. If the pump will not start, or will not

prime, see TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE on back page.

NOTE:

NSPI-4 Article V, standard for above-ground and

on-ground pools, advises that components such as the

filtration system, pumps and heater be positioned so as to

prevent their being used as a means of access to the pool

by young children.
