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. Bleed air from the filter until a steady stream of water comes out. Close the High Flow™ manual air relief valve.

For additional information use restart instructions for your filter.

If pump is installed below the water level of the pool, close return and suction lines prior to opening hair and lint pot on pump. Make
sure to re-open valves prior to operating.

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.

Continued operation in this manner could cause a loss of pressure, resulting in damage to the pump case, impeller and seal.

C. PRIMING THE PUMP.

1.

Remove the lid from the pump strainer and fill the pot with water at least to the level of the suction line.

2.

Replace the lid. Make sure the O-ring is in place, and tighten by hand. See Section I.B., above.

3.

The pump will now prime. The priming time will depend on the suction lift and horizontal distance of the suction piping.

D. ELECTRIC MOTOR.

1.

Protect from heat.
a.

Shade the motor from the sun.

b.

Any enclosure must be well ventilated to prevent overheating.

c.

2.

b.

3.

d.

If a motor has become wet - let it dry before operating.

NOTE

DO NOT wrap motor with plastic or other air tight materials. The motor may be covered during a storm, for winter

storage, etc., but never when operating, or expecting operation.

NOTE

When replacing the motor, be certain that the motor support is correctly positioned to support the size of motor being

installed.
