Restart Instructions

If the SuperMax™ pump is installed below the water level of the pool, close return and suction lines prior to opening hair and lint pot on pump. Make sure to reopen valves prior to operating.

CAUTION — DO NOT run the pump dry. If the pump is run dry, the mechanical seal will be damaged and the pump will start leaking. If this occurs, the damaged seal must be replaced. ALWAYS maintain proper water level in your pool (half way up skimmer opening). If the water level falls below the skimmer opening, the pump will draw air through the skimmer, losing the prime and causing the pump to run dry, resulting in a damaged seal.

NOTE

Continued operation in this manner could cause a loss of pressure, resulting in damage to the pump case, impeller and seal.

Priming the Pump

1.The pump strainer pot must be filled with water before the pump is initially started. Follow these steps to prime the pump.

a.Remove the pump lid plastic clamp. Remove the pump lid.

b.Fill the pump strainer pot with water.

c.Reassemble the pump cover and plastic clamp onto the strainer pot. The pump is now ready to prime.

d.Open the air release valve on the filter, and stand clear of the filter.

e.Turn on the switch or time clock.

f.When water comes out of the air release valve, close the valve. The system should now be free of air and recirculating water to and from the pool.

2.For 2-speed pumps:

a.Pump should run on high-speed for priming.

b.The pump should not run longer than 8 minutes before priming is achieved.
