V. System Start-Up
1.Verify that the Power lamp is ON and that the pool/spa pump is running and circulating properly.
2.Verify that the control panel
3.Turn the control switch to either Pool or Spa to turn the system ON and raise the thermostat setting above the current water temperature. At this time the 2 green lamps should illuminate. The fan and compressor should start up and run simultaneously.

NOTE: The heat pump will not run when the Remote position is selected on the Pool/Spa selector switch and there is no remote control system attached.
4.Allow the heat pump to operate for a few minutes to stabilize operating pressures and to allow various component temperatures to normalize.
5.Verify that the discharge air temperature is approximately 8° - 10° cooler than the air entering the unit. If not, see Troubleshooting, Section XI.
VI. Seasonal Start-Up or Annual Check
NOTE: At the beginning of the heating season, or whenever the pool water temper- ature is to be raised several degrees, the pool pump and heat pump may need to operate continuously for several days. During summer months, only a few hours per day may be necessary, or none at all.
1.Remove leaves, pine needles, etc. from the evaporator coil. Clean the coil by gently applying a mild solution of household liquid soap and water.
CAUTION
To clean the fins, spray gently with a garden hose. DO NOT pressure wash, which will bend the fins and can void the warranty.
2.Gently rinse the coil with water; do NOT use high pressure.
3.Backwash or otherwise clean the pool filter. If necessary, clean the skimmer basket and pump strainer.
4.Replace the front and back caps; see the Series Hookup Diagram on the last page of this manual for cap location.
5.Set the valves to assure proper water flow through the unit.
NOTE: If the pool pump and heat pump shut OFF before the water temperature is raised to the desired level, you must lengthen the running time of both. To do this, reset the time clock dial for the longer running time, or manually operate the pump with the timer override switch. Since the heat pump capacity and efficiency are both greater at higher ambient air temperatures, run time should be set to take advantage of all daylight hours, when the air is generally warmer.
