WARNING

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION

This pool pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool installer in

accordance with the 2008 National Electrical Code (“NEC”) and/or all applicable local codes and

ordinances. The specific section of NEC covering your pump may vary depending on your location. Some

states, and/or municipalities may not have adopted the 2008 edition of the NEC. In this case your state or

local code may only be applicable and/or an earlier edition of the NEC may apply. Please check your local

and state codes and regulations before commencing any installation of this pump. Improper installation

could create, among other things, an electrical hazard which may result in death or serious injury to pool

users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and/or property damage. Always disconnect power to the

pool pump at the circuit breaker before servicing the pump. Failure to do so could result in death or serious

injury to pool users, installers or others (due to electrical shock) and/or property damage.

WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times. CAUTION This pump is for use with permanently installed pools and may also be used with hot tubs and spas if so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage.
PAGE 3
NOTE Bonding Lug When pump is mounted permanently within 5 ft. of the inside walls of a swimming pool, you must use a No. 8 AWG or larger conductor to connect to bonding conductor lug. 7. Bond the motor to the pool structure in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Use a solid No. 8 AWG or larger copper conductor. Run a wire from the external bonding to the pool bonding structure, see Figure 1. 8. Connect the pump permanently to a circuit.

WARNING THIS FILTER OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. WHEN ANY PART OF THE CIRCULATING SYSTEM (e.g., LOCK RING, PUMP, FILTER, VALVES, ETC.) IS SERVICED, AIR CAN ENTER THE SYSTEM AND BECOME PRESSURIZED. PRESSURIZED AIR CAN CAUSE THE LID TO BLOW OFF WHICH CAN RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. TO AVOID THIS POTENTIAL HAZARD, FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS. 9. Open the High Flow manual air relief valve on top of the filter. 10. Stand clear of the filter. Start the pump. 11.

SECTION III. SERVICE WARNING RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION This pool pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool installer in accordance with the 2008 National Electrical Code (“NEC”) and/or all applicable local codes and ordinances. The specific section of NEC covering your pump may vary depending on your location. Some states, and/or municipalities may not have adopted the 2008 edition of the NEC.

B. Pump Reassembly/Seal Replacement; see Figure 4. NOTE It is important that the O-rings be kept clean and well lubricated. We recommend a silicone base lubricant for best results. CAUTION Bolt Be sure not to scratch or mar the polished shaft seal faces; the seal will leak if faces are damaged. 1. When installing the replacement shaft seal, use silicone sealant on the metal portion before pressing into the seal plate, being careful to keep off of the seal face.
PAGE 7
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.

AVISO Para reducir el riesgo de lesión, no permite que los niños usen este producto a menos que alguien esté supervisando cuidadosamente en todo momento. ADVERTENCIA Esta bomba es para usar con piscinas instaladas de manera permanente y también se puede usar con bañeras con agua caliente (hot tubs) y balnearios, si está marcada así. No la use con piscinas que se pueden almacenar.
PAGE 13
NOTA Cuando la bomba se monta permanentemente dentro de 5 pies (1.524 m) de las paredes interiores de una piscina, tiene que usar un No. 8 AWG o conductor más grande para conectar al tirón de conductor que pega. Gráfica 1. 7. Una el motor a la estructura de piscina según el Código Eléctrico Nacional. Use un No. 8 AWG sólido o conductor de cobre más grande. Corra un alambre de la unión externa a la estructura de unión de piscina, vea Gráfica 1. 8. Conecte la bomba a un circuito de manera permanente.
PAGE 14
8. Encienda el corriente en posición de “ON” en el cortacircuito de la casa. Reajuste la hora en el reloj de piscina para que mostre la hora correcta. AVISO ESTE FILTRO FUNCIONA BAJO ALTA PRESIÓN. CUANDO CUALQUIER PIEZA DEL SISTEMA DE CIRCULACIÓN (p.ej., ANILLO DE BLOQUEADOR, BOMBA, FILTRO, VÁLVULAS, ETC.) RECIBE MANTENIMIENTO, AIRE PUEDE ENTRAR EN EL SISTEMA Y HACERSE PRESURIZADO. AIRE PRESURIZADO PUEDE CAUSAR QUE LA TAPA SE REVIENTE LO CUAL PUEDE RESULTAR EN LESIÓN SEVERA, MUERTE, O DAÑO A PROPIEDAD.
PAGE 15
SECCIÓN III. SERVICIO AVISO RIESGO DE CHOQUE ELÉCTRICO O ELECTROCUCIÓN Esta bomba de piscina debe ser instalada por un electricista con licencia o certificación o por un instalador calificado de piscinas de acuerdo con el Código Eléctrico Nacional 2008 (NEC de EE.UU.) y todos los códigos y reglamentos locales respectivos. La sección específica del NEC que cubre su bomba puede variar dependiendo de su instalación. Puede que algunos estados y municipalidades no hayan adoptado la edición del 2008 del NEC.

B. Armar la bomba de nuevo/Reemplazar el sello; vea Gráfica 4. Bolt Perno NOTA Es importante que el anillo en O se mantenga limpio y con bueno engrase. Recomendamos un lubricante basado en silicona para los mejores resultados. Sealde Plate Placa sello Impaque Gasket ADVERTENCIA Asegúrese de no rayar ni dañar las caras pulidas que sellan el eje; el sello tendrá una chorreo si se dañan las caras.

PAGE 17
ADVERTENCIA NO opere la bomba sin agua. Si la bomba opera sin agua, el sello mecánico se dañara y la bomba empezará fugar. Si ocurre esto, se tiene que reemplazar el sello dañado. SIEMPRE mantenga un nivel de agua adecuado en su piscina (la mitad de la longitud a la abertura de la desnatadora). Si el nivel de agua cae a debajo de la abertura de la desnatadora, la bomba chupará aire a través de la desnatadora, perdiendo la imprimación y causando que la bomba opere sin agua, resultando en un sello dañado.
