CHAPTER SIX
STORAGE/WINTERIZATION
i WARNING Separation Hazard
1. Do not purge the system with compressed air. Purging the system with compressed air can cause components to explode,
with risk of severe injury or death to anyone nearby. Use only a low pressure (below 5 PSI), high volume blower when air
purging the pump, filter, or piping.
2. Allowing the pump to freeze will void the warranty.
3. Use ONLY propylene glycol as antifreeze in your pool system. Propylene glycol is nontoxic and will not damage the pump’s
plastic components; other types of antifreeze are highly toxic and may damage plastic components.
4. Drain all water from pump and piping when expecting freezing temperatures or when storing pump for a long time (see
instructions below).
5. Keep motor dry and covered during storage. To avoid condensation/corrosion problems, do NOT cover or wrap pump with
plastic film or bags.
Storing Pump For Winterization
i WARNING To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock hazard, turn OFF power to motor before draining pump. Failure
to disconnect power may result in serious personal injury or death.
1. Drain water level below all pool inlets.
2. Remove drain plugs from bottom of strainer body, and remove strainer cover from strainer housing.
3. Disconnect pump from mounting pad, wiring system (after power has been turned OFF), and piping system.
4. Once water has been drained from the pump, re-install the strainer cover and drain plugs. Store pump in a dry area.
CHAPTER SEVEN
TROUBLESHOOTING
Motor Will NOT Start – Check For:
Make sure the terminal board connections agree with the wiring diagram on motor data plate label. Be sure motor is wired for
available field supply voltage (see pump operating label).
1. Improper or loose wiring connections; open switches or relays; tripped circuit breakers, GFCI’s, or blown fuses.
Solution: Check all connections, circuit breakers, and fuses. Reset tripped breakers or replace blown fuses.
2. If you have a timer, be certain it is working properly. Bypass it if necessary.
3. Low voltage at motor or power drop (frequently caused by undersized wiring or extension cord use).
Solution: Contact qualified professional to check that the wiring gauge is heavy enough.
NOTE - Your pump motor is equipped with an “automatic thermal overload protector.” The motor will automatically shut off if
power supply drops before heat damage can build up causing windings to burn out. The “thermal overload protector” will allow
the motor to automatically restart once the motor has cooled. It will continue to cut On/Off until the problem is corrected. Be
sure to identify and correct cause of overheating.
Motor Hums, But Does NOT Start – Check For:
1. Impeller jammed with debris.
Solution: Contact your dealer for repair.
