INSTALLATION

Fasten pump to base or pad with screws or bolts to reduce vibration and stress on pipe or hose joints.

We recommend a minimum clearance around the pad of 18” to allow adequate access for servicing

pump and piping.

PUMP LOCATION

Installing union connections at the suction and outlet ports is recommended, to facilitate servicing of

pump and to allow for indoor storage during the winter months.

Use Teon tape to seal threaded connections on molded plastic components. All plastic ttings must

be new or thoroughly cleaned before use. NOTE: DO NOT use Plumber’s Pipe Dope as it may cause

cracking of the plastic components.

When applying Teon tape to plastic threads, wrap the entire threaded portion of the male tting with

one to two layers of tape. Wind the tape clockwise as you face the open end of the tting, beginning at

the end of the tting.

The pump suction and outlet ports have molded-in thread stops. DO NOT attempt to force hose connector

tting past this stop. It is only necessary to tighten ttings enough to prevent leakage. Tighten tting by

hand and then use a tool to engage tting an additional 1 ½ turns. Use care when using Teon tape as

friction is reduced considerably; DO NOT over-tighten tting or you may cause damage. If leaks occur,

remove connector, clean off old Teon tape, re-wrap with one to two additional layers of Teon tape, and

re-install connector.

Risk of Electric Shock. All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with applicable local codes,

regulations, and the National Electric Code (NEC). All electrical wiring should be performed by a qualied

professional. Hazardous voltage can shock, burn, and cause death or serious property damage. To

reduce the risk of electric shock, DO NOT use an extension cord to connect unit to electric supply.

Provide a properly located electrical receptacle. Before working on any electrical equipment, turn off

power supply to the equipment. To reduce the risk of electric shock replace damaged wiring immediately.

DO NOT ground to a gas supply line.

The electrical equipment must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-fault

circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on

a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push reset

button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If

the GFCI interrupts power to the electrical equipment without the test button being pushed, a ground

current is owing, indicating the possibility of an electrical shock. DO NOT use this electrical equipment.

Disconnect the electrical equipment and have the problem corrected by a qualied service representative

before using. Insure that the electrical supply available agrees with the motor’s voltage, phase, and

cycle, and that the wire size is adequate for the KW rating and distance from the power source.

Voltage at motor MUST NOT be more than 10% above or below motor name plate rated voltage, or

motor may overheat, causing overload tripping and reduced component life. If voltage is less than 90%

or more than 110% of rated voltage when motor is running at full load, consult power company.

Failure to bond all electrical equipment to pool structure will increase risk for electrocution and could

result in injury or death. To reduce the risk of electric shock, see installation instructions and consult a

professional electrician on how to bond all electrical equipment. Also, contact a licensed electrician for

information on local electrical codes for bonding requirements.
