Super II™ Pump Series Page 8 of 14 Prior to Start-Up (cont'd.) ATTENTION - Do NOT add chemicals to pool/spa system directly in front of pump suction. Adding undiluted chemicals may damage pump and voids warranty. ATTENTION - 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 using filter manual air relief valve. See filter owner's manual for more detail. WARNING - If pump is being pressure tested (40 PSI MAXIMUM), be sure pressure has been released, using the filter manual air relief valve, before removing strainer cover. Priming Pump CAUTION - All suction and discharge valves MUST be OPEN, as well as filter air relief valve (if available) on filter, when starting the circulating pump system. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury. ƒ Release all pressure from filter, pump, and piping system. See filter owner's manual. ƒ If 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 housing with water. ƒ Clean and lubricate strainer cover O-ring with "Jack's 327" each time it is removed. Inspect O-ring and 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). Turn on power and wait for pump to prime, which may take up to five (5) minutes. Priming time will depend on vertical length of suction lift and horizontal length of suction pipe. If pump does NOT prime within five minutes, stop motor and determine cause. Be sure all suction and discharge valves are open when pump is running. See Troubleshooting Guide. ATTENTION - Wait five (5) seconds before re-starting pump. Failure to do so may cause reverse rotation of motor and consequent serious pump damage. Close filter manual air relief valve after pump is primed. Maintenance ƒ Clean strainer basket regularly. Do NOT strike basket to clean. Inspect strainer cover gasket regularly and replace as necessary. ƒ Hayward pumps have self-lubricating motor bearings and shaft seals. No lubrication is necessary. ƒ Keep motor clean. Insure air vents are free from obstruction to avoid damage. Do NOT use water to hose off motor. ƒ Occasionally, shaft seals must be replaced, due to wear or damage. Replace with genuine Hayward seal assembly kit. See "Shaft Seal Change Instructions" in this manual. WWW.HAYWARDPOOL.COM USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS
