Maintenance

Disconnect, tag and lock out power source before attempting to install, service,

relocate or perform any maintenance.

1.Motors are self-lubricating - no additional lubrication is required.

2.Clean pool pump strainer of hair and lint.

3.Visually inspect motor for blockage of air vents on motor shell. Remove any debris after shutting off breaker.

4.Replace worn shaft seals.

HAIR AND LINT STRAINER

1.Switch off the power.

2.Close the valves in the suction and return line.

3.Turn strainer Ring-Lok counter- clockwise and remove stainer cover.

4.Lift strainer basket away from the pump.

5.Clean and reposition the basket into the pump. Take care to seat the basket properly.

6.Clean the o-ring and relubricate with petroleum jelly if necessary.

7.Clean o-ring seats on the cover and strainer.

8.Refit the cover and strainer Ring- Lok; hand tighten only.

9.Open the valves to return pump to operation.

Do not retighten

strainer Ring-Lok during operation.

WINTERIZING

Always protect system from freezing temperatures. Drain the system if there is a possibility of freezing. To drain the system:

1.Units with a filter:

a.Sand filter: Backwash for 3 to 5 minutes and then set dial valve to winterize position.

b.Cartridge filter: Clean the filter element and store in dry area.

2.Drain system by loosening drain plug. The drain plug does not have to be completely removed. Removing pipe caps will facilitate draining also.

Troubleshooting Chart

Symptom

Motor does not start

Possible Cause(s)

1.Disconnect switch or circuit breaker in OFF position

2.Fuses blown or thermal overload open

3.Locked motor shaft

4.Motor windings burned out

5.Defective starting switch inside single-phase motor

6.Disconnected or defective wiring

7.Low voltage

Symptom

Low pump capacity

Possible Cause(s)

1.Valve in suction or discharge line partly closed

2.Suction or discharge line partly plugged

3.Suction or discharge line too small

4.Pump running at reduced speed (see previous)

5.Plugged basket in skimmer or hair and lint strainer

6.Dirty filter

7.Impeller clogged

8.Wrong rotation (3 phase only)

	3.	Valve in suction line partly closed
	4.	Suction line partly plugged
	5.	Vacuum hose plugged or too small
	6.	Pump not supported properly

Leakage of water	Shaft seal requires replacement
at shaft
High pump pressure	1.	Discharge valve or inlet fittings closed

	2.	Return lines too small
	3.	Dirty filter
Low pump pressure	1.	Pump running at reduced speed (see

	2.	Wrong rotation
	3.	Discharge valve or inlet fittings open
		too wide
Air bubbles at inlet	1.	Leakage of air into suction line at
fittings		connections or valve stem
	2.	Cover gasket around hair and lint
		strainer needs cleaning
	3.	Restriction in suction line
	4.	Low water level in pool
