Power-Flo LX™ / Power-Flo II™ Pump Series Installation Instructions (cont.) Electrical (cont.) Wiring (cont.) In case of a power outage, check GFCI for tripping, which will prevent normal pump operation. Reset if necessary. NOTE: If you do not use conduit when wiring motor, be sure to seal wire opening on end of motor to prevent dirt, bugs, etc., from entering. New Installation - Start-Up & Operation Prior to Start-Up 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. WARNING - NEVER run pump dry. Running pump dry may damage seals, causing leakage and flooding. Fill strainer housing with water before starting motor. CAUTION - Do NOT add chemicals to pool/spa system directly in front of pump suction. Adding undiluted chemicals may damage pump and voids warranty. CAUTION - Before removing strainer cover: 1. STOP PUMP before proceeding. 2. CLOSE VALVES in suction and outlet pipes. 3. RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from pump and piping system. WARNING - If pump is being pressure tested, be sure pressure has been released before removing strainer cover. WARNING - Do NOT block pump suction. To do so with body may cause fatal injury. Small children using pool MUST always have close adult supervision. Priming Pump ƒ Open all valves before starting system. ƒ Release all air from filter and piping system. See filter owner's manual. ƒ When water source is higher than the pump, pump will prime itself when suction and outlet valves are opened. If water source is lower than the pump, unscrew and remove strainer cover; fill strainer and pump with water. ƒ Clean and lubricate strainer cover O-ring with "Jack's 327" each time it is removed. ƒ Clean and inspect O-ring; re-install on strainer cover. ƒ Replace strainer cover on strainer housing; turn clockwise to tighten cover. NOTE: Tighten strainer cover by hand only (no wrenches) ¼ turn. Pump should prime. Priming time will depend on vertical length of suction lift and horizontal length of suction pipe. If pump does NOT prime within ten minutes, stop motor and determine cause. Be sure all suction and discharge valves are open when pump is running. See Troubleshooting Guide.
