Power-Flo Matrix™ Pump Series New Installation - Start-Up & Operation (cont.) Prior to Start-Up (cont.) 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. Selecting Pump's Discharge Position (4 Steps) Your Hayward Power-Flo Matrix™ pump can be easily positioned for horizontal or vertical water discharge. Step 1: Remove ALL plumbing attached to pump. Remove pump from base (if applicable). Step 2: Remove strainer housing. Disengage and lift off strainer cover. Remove strainer basket. Lift up on strainer 'C' clip and remove. (See Fig. 1) Slide strainer housing forward and remove. Step 3: Press positioning button located on pump housing and rotate discharge port to desired position. (NOTE: Discharge port will only rotate ¼ turn.) Figure 1 Step 4: Assemble the pump by following the above directions in the reverse manner. Priming Pump Open all valves before starting system. Release all air from filter and piping system. See filter owner's manual. When water source is higher than the pump, pump will prime itself when suction and outlet valves are opened. Clean and lubricate strainer cover O-ring with "Jack's 327" each time it is removed. Clean and inspect O-ring; re-install on strainer cover. Replace strainer cover on strainer housing; turn clockwise to tighten cover. NOTE: Tighten strainer cover by hand only (no wrenches) ¼ turn. 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. Storage/Winterization WARNING - Explosion Hazard. Purging the system with compressed air can cause components to explode, with risk of severe injury or death to anyone nearby. Use only a low pressure (below 5 PSI), high volume blower when air purging the pump, filter, or piping. CAUTION - Allowing the pump to freeze will void the warranty. CAUTION - Do NOT use anti-freeze solutions (except propylene glycol) in your pool/spa system. Propylene glycol is non-toxic and will not damage plastic system components; other antifreezes are highly toxic and may damage plastic components in the system.
