OPERATION (Continued)
Priming Pump:
a) In a flooded suction system (water source higher than pump), the pump will
fill itself with water when suction and discharge valves are opened. Water
will be at the top of the hair and lint pot lid.
b) If pump is not in a flooded suction system, unscrew and remove hair and
lint pot lid; fill pot (casing & bowl assembly) with water.
c) Clean, inspect and lubricate 'O' Ring; reinstall ‘O’ring onto bowl assembly.
d) Replace lid onto bowl assembly; turn clockwise to tighten lid.
Tighten lid by hand only (no wrenches)!
Do not run pump dry or damage will occur and
may void warranty.
Start-up Procedure:
1) Release all air from filter and piping system: see filter owner's manual.
2) Turn pump “ON” at power point or controller.
3) Pump should prime now. Priming time will depend on vertical length of
suction lift and horizontal length of suction piping.
If pump does not prime within a few minutes, make sure that all valves are
open, suction pipe end is under water and that there are no leaks in suction
pipe. Ensure the skimmer basket on pool is clean and free of debris. Repeat
step a) - d) under the section Priming Pump. If the pump still does not prime
non return valves may be required refer to place of purchase for assistance.
