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.
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.

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)
Motor does not
reach full speed 1. Low voltage
2. Motor windings connected for wrong
voltage on dual voltage model
Leakage of water
at shaft Shaft seal requires replacement
Motor overheats
(protector trips) 1. Low voltage
2. Motor windings connected for wrong
voltage on dual voltage model
3. Inadequate ventilation
High pump pressure 1. Discharge valve or inlet fittings closed
too much
2. Return lines too small
3. Dirty
filter
Pump does not
deliver water 1. Pump is not primed
2. Closed valve in suction or discharge
line
3. Leakage or air into suction system
4. Impeller
clogged
Low pump pressure 1. Pump running at reduced speed (see
previous)
2. Wrong rotation
3. Discharge valve or inlet fittings open
too wide
Noisy pump and
motor 1. Plugged basket in skimmer or hair in
lint strainer
2. Worn motor bearings
3. Valve in suction line partly closed
