E. Prime the pump (see priming instructions).

Draining the Pump

A. Pump down water level below all inlets to the pool.

To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock hazard, turn OFF power to the motor before draining pump.

B. Remove the basket cover

C. Drain the basket housing and pump housing through the drain plugs

D. Clean the pump and basket, then replace cover assembly.

NOTICE: Tighten trap cover by hand only

E. Be sure motor is kept dry and covered.

Storage/Winterizing:

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 for purging

the pump, filter, or piping.

NOTICE: Allowing pump to freeze will damage pump and void warranty!

NOTICE: Use only non-toxic antifreeze. Do not use automotive antifreeze. It is highly toxic and may damage plastic

components in the system.

PUMP SERVICE TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Read and understand safety and operating instructions in this manual before doing any work on pump!

Only qualified personnel should electrically test the pump motor!

FAILURE TO PUMP; REDUCED CAPACITY OR DISCHARGE PRESSURE

Suction leaks/lost prime:

1. Pump must be primed. Make sure that pump body and basket body are full of water. See priming instructions.

2. Make sure there are no leaks in suction piping.

3. Make sure suction inlet is well below the water level to prevent pump from sucking air.

4. Pump is designed to prime at a vertical distance of 10 ft or less. Verify suction lift is 10 ft or less. Lower pump

closer (vertically) to water source.

Clogged Pipe/Trap/Impeller, Worn Impeller:

5. Make sure suction trap is not clogged; if it is, then clean trap and strainer.

6. Make sure the impeller is not clogged

7. Impeller and diffuser may be worn. If so, order replacement parts from Repair Parts List, Pages 14-15.

8. The pump may be trying to push too high a column of water. If so, a "higher head" pump is needed.

Electrical:

9. Pump may be running too slowly; check voltage at motor terminals and at meter while pump is running. If low, see

wiring instructions or consult power company. Check for loose connections.

10. Pump may be too hot.

A. Check line voltage; if less than 90% or more than 110% of rated voltage consult a licensed electrician.

B. Increase ventilation.

C. Reduce ambient temperature.

D. Tighten any loose connections.
