WARNING
When any part of the circulating system, (e.g., clamp, pump, filter, valve(s), etc.), is serviced, air can enter the system and become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the lid to be blown off which can result in severe injury, death, or property damage. To avoid this potential hazard, follow these instructions:
1.Before repositioning valve(s) and before beginning the assembly, disassembly, or adjustment of the clamp or any other service of the circulating system: (A) Turn the pump OFF and shut OFF any automatic controls to ensure the system is NOT inadvertently started during the servicing; (B) open the High Flow™ manual air relief valve; (C) wait until all pressure is relieved.
2.Whenever installing the filter clamp FOLLOW THE FILTER CLAMP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
3.Once service on the circulating system is complete FOLLOW SYSTEM RESTART INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
4.Maintain circulation system properly. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately, (e.g., clamp, pressure gauge, valve(s),
5.Be sure that the filter is properly mounted and positioned according to instructions provided.
