START-UP AND OPERATION

PUMP DISCHARGE POSITION

Step 1: Remove ALL plumbing attached to pump.

Remove pump from base (if applicable).

Step 2: Remove strainer housing.

 Disengage and lift off strainer cover.

 Remove strainer basket.

 Lift up on strainer ‘C’ clip and remove.

 Slide strainer housing forward and remove.

Step 3: Press positioning button located on pump housing and rotate discharge port to desired

position.

Step 4: Assemble the pump by following the above directions in the reverse manner.

PRIOR TO START-UP

Fill strainer housing with water to suction pipe level. NEVER operate the pump without water. Water acts

as a coolant and lubricant for the mechanical shaft seal.

NEVER run pump dry. Running pump dry may damage seals, causing leakage and ooding. Fill strainer

housing with water before starting motor.

DO NOT add chemicals to pool/spa system directly in front of pump suction. Adding undiluted chemicals

may damage pump and voids warranty.

Before removing strainer cover:

1. STOP PUMP before proceeding.

2. CLOSE VALVES in suction and outlet pipes.

3. RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from pump and piping system.

If pump is being pressure tested, be sure pressure has been released before removing strainer cover.

PRIMING THE PUMP

Clean and lubricate strainer cover O-ring with “Jack’s 327” each time it is removed.

Clean and inspect O-ring; re-install on strainer cover.

Replace strainer cover on strainer housing; turn clockwise to tighten cover. NOTE: Tighten strainer

cover by hand only (no wrenches) ¼ turn.

Open all valves before starting system.

Release all air from lter and piping system.

With suction and outlet valves open and water source higher than the pump and owing, pump will

prime itself.

If pump does NOT prime within ten minutes, stop motor and determine cause. Be sure all suction and

discharge valves are open when pump is running. See Troubleshooting Guide.
