USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS

Operation
Prior to Start-Up
If it is necessary to perform a water pressure test prior to initial use to ensure plumbing system is functioning properly, then the following criteria should be
maintained for this test:
1. Have a professional perform this test.
2. Ensure all Hayward pump and system components are removed from system prior to performing test.
WARNING – If circulation equipment must remain in the plumbing system during water pressure test, do not apply more than 10 psi pressure to
the system. Be sure water pressure has been released, using the filter manual air relief valve, before removing pump strainer cover.
WARNING– All suction and discharge valves MUST be OPEN, as well as filter air relief valve (if available) on filter, when starting the circulating
pump system. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury.
Starting/Priming the Pump
Fill strainer housing with water to suction pipe level. If water leakage occurs from anywhere on the pump or filter, DO NOT start the pump. If no leakage occurs,
stand at least 10 feet from pump and/or filter and proceed with starting the pump. To start the pump for priming, use Manual Override described in the Pump
Control and Programming section below.
WARNING – Return to filter to close filter manual air relief valve when a steady stream of water (not air or air and water) is discharged from valve.
Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury.
ATTENTION – 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, flooding, and voids warranty. Fill strainer housing with water before starting motor.
ATTENTION – Do NOT add chemicals to pool/spa system directly in front of pump suction. Adding undiluted chemicals may damage pump
and voids warranty.
ATTENTION – 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 using filter manual air relief valve. See filter owner’s manual for more details.
4. Remove strainer cover and fill strainer housing with water.
5. Clean and lubricate strainer cover O-ring with “Jack’s 327” if necessary.
6. Replace strainer cover on strainer housing.
7. OPEN VALVES in suction and outlet pipes.
Note: Tighten strainer cover (lock ring or hand knobs) by hand only. Do not use tools or wrenches.
Turn on power and wait for pump to prime, which can take up to ten (10) minutes. Priming time will depend on vertical length of suction lift and horizontal length
of suction pipe. If pump does NOT prime within 10 minutes, stop motor and determine cause. Be sure all suction and discharge valves are open when pump
is running. See Troubleshooting Guide.
