INSTALLATION

1. Install the pump as close to the pool as possible, preferably in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Protect the pump from excessive moisture.
2. Place the pump as close to the water source as possible, so that the suction pipe is short, straight, and direct to reduce friction loss. Don’t install the pump at more than 3 meters of geometrical height from the water level.
3. Before installing the pump, make sure that the surface is solid, elevated, rigid, and vibration free.
4. Secure the pump to the base with screws or bolts to limit the vibration and the stress on the pipe or the joints.
5. Leave enough space for gate valves in suction and discharge piping, if required.
6. Connect the suction and discharge pipe to the outlet and inlet of the swimming pool.
7. Make sure that floor drainage is adequate to prevent flooding.
8. This pump must be equipped with an isolating transformer or through a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA.
9. Make sure that the pump and piping are accessible for servicing.

Note: The pump suction and discharge connections are molded in thread stops, DO NOT try to screw the pipe beyond these stops.
2.1 START-UP
The wide range of pump settings makes it suitable for multiple purposes. The pump controller is used to program motor speeds and schedules as described in Chapter “Operation” of this manual.
WARNING:

• NEVER run the pump dry! Running the pump dry will damage seals, causing leakage and flooding. Fill the pump with water before starting.
• Always STOP THE PUMP before and RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from the pump and the piping system before proceeding.
• NEVER tighten or loosen screws while the pump is operating.
• Do not block the pump suction.

2.2 PRIMING PUMP

• Release all air from the filter and piping system (consult your filter user manual).
• In a flooded suction system (water source higher than the pump), the pump will prime itself when suction and discharge valves are opened.
• If the pump is not installed in a flooded suction system, unscrew and remove the pump lid and fill it with water.

WARNING: Tighten/untighten the pump lid by hand only.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

The only routine maintenance needed is the inspection/cleaning of the trap basket. Debris or trash collected in the basket will choke off the water flow through the pump. Follow the instructions below in order to clean the trap:

1. Stop the pump, close the gate valve in suction and discharge, and release all pressure from the system before proceeding.

2. Unscrew the trap lid (turn counterclockwise).

3. Remove the strainer basket and clean. Make sure all the holes in the basket are clear, flush
   the basket with water and replace it in the trap with a large opening at the pipe connection port (between ribs provided). If the basket is replaced backward, the cover will not fit on the trap body.

4. Clean and inspect the lid ring; reinstall the trap cover.

5. Clean the ring groove on the trap body and replace the lid. To help keep the lid from sticking, tighten it by hand only.

6. Prime the pump (see priming instructions above).
