IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
THESE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CONTAIN IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ON THE SAFE, PROPER AND ECONOMICAL
OPERATION OF THE SWIMMING POOL PUMP. STRICT OB-
SERVATION OF THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WILL HELP
TO AVOID DANGERS, REDUCE REPAIR COSTS AND SHUT-
DOWN TIMES AND INCREASE THE RELIABILITY AND WORK-
ING LIFE OF THE PRODUCT.
SECTION 1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Check carton for any evidence of damage due to rough han-
dling in shipment. If carton or any pump components are
damaged, notify the carrier immediately.
Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious
adverse health effects, or even serious or fatal injury. Failure
to follow the safety instructions will in all cases invalidate all
guarantees and liability on the part of the manufacturer.
• Avoid dry run of the pump, as long as the pump is not filled
with water;
• This pump is equipped with a mechanical seal.
• Damage to shaft seal could be the cause by non-observance
of instructions.
• Please follow instructions for filling up the pump according
to installation and instruction manual.
SECTION 2. APPLICATION
Only to be used to circulate swimming pool water.
SECTION 3. INSTALLATION
• Install the pump as near to the pool as practical.
• Use a direct and short suction line with continuous slope in
order to avoid long priming times.
• The pump should be placed on a flat solid foundation, high
enough to prevent flooding of the motor.
• Install the filter and pump in a sheltered location, ensuring
ventilation and adequate access for servicing.
• Do not mount electrical controls directly over pump.
• Provide adequate floor drainage to prevent flooding.
• Size all piping adequately and keep the number of elbows
to a minimum.
• Independently support the pipe near the suction and dis
charge of the pump in order to reduce the strain on the pump.
• Avoid overtightening pipe connections. Use only pipe
sealants formulated for plastics. Do not use petroleum
based products. It is essential that the suction line is free of
air leaks. The suction line should always be at least the same
size as the suction inlet of the pump.
• Fitting a non-return valve after the pump on the installation
will prevent the impeller from unwinding and is strongly
recommended.
SECTION 4. START / OPERATION
Starting the pump
• Fill pump strainer with water to suction pipe level.
• Lubricate the lid Oring with lubricant each time it is
removed.
• Energize the motor, the pump will prime. The priming time
depends on the suction lift and distance to the pool. Five
minutes is a reasonable time.
• Pump will not lift more than 2,5 meter. If pump does not
prime, see troubleshooting guide.
Maintenance
The strainer basket should be weekly removed and cleaned.
Never operate the pump without its strainer basket.
Winterizing
• Protect the pump from freezing.
• Remove all plugs and drain the pump and all piping.
• Store drains and plugs in the strainer basket.
• Remove the pump to a dry and warm room.
• Do not wrap the motor with plastic covering as
condensation may damage the pump.
• In installations where the pump can not be drained, a 40%
propyleneglycol, 60% water solution will protect to -46°C.
• Do not use other anti-freeze solutions, these are all highly
toxic and will damage the pump.
