TAURUS™ VS Variable Speed Pump Installation and User’s Guide
Restart Instructions
If Taurus™ VS Variable Speed Pump is installed below
the water level, close return and suction lines prior to
opening hair and lint pot on pump. Make sure to re-
open valves prior to operating.
Priming the Pump
The pump strainer pot must be filled with water before
the pump is initially started.
Follow these steps to prime the pump:
1. Remove the pump lid plastic clamp. Remove the
pump lid.
2. Fill the pump strainer pot with water.
3. Reassemble the pump cover and plastic clamp onto
the strainer pot. The pump is now ready to prime.
4. Open the air release valve on the filter, and stand
clear of the filter.
5. Turn on the power to the pump.
6. Press the Start/Stop button on the drive keypad. If
the pump is currently scheduled to run it will start.
Note: If the pump is not schedule to start, press a
Speed button to begin a manual override that will
start the pump.
7. When water comes out of the air release valve,
close the valve. The system should now be free of
air and recirculating water to and from the body of
water.

Pump Reassembly
1. When installing the replacement seal into the seal
plate, use soapy water to wet the rubber boot before
pressing it into the seal plate.
2. Remount the seal plate to the motor.
3. Before installing the rotating portion of the seal on
the motor shaft, wet the motor shaft with soapy water
and slide the seal onto the motor shaft. Ensure that
the carbon face contacts the ceramic face of the
stationary seat. Press the seal into the seal plate
with your thumbs and wipe off the ceramic with a
clean cloth.
4. Screw impeller onto the motor shaft (clockwise to
tighten).
5. Screw in the impeller lock screw (counter-clockwise
to tighten).
Note: Insert a 1/4” hex Allen wrench into the motor
shaft through the hole in the rear motor fan cover.
This will prevent the motor shaft from rotating and
you screw in the impeller lock screw.
6. Remount the diffuser onto the seal plate. Make
sure the plastic pins and holding screw inserts are
aligned.
7. Grease the diffuser quad ring and seal plate O-ring
prior to reassembly.
8. Assemble the motor sub-assembly to the strainer
pot-pump body. Tighten the bolts until all 4 bolts are
in place and finger tightened.
9. Fill the pump with water.
10. Reinstall the pump lid and plastic clamp; see the
next section, ‘Restart Instructions’.
11. Re-prime the system.
DO NOT run the pump dry. If the pump is run dry, the mechanical seal will be damaged and the pump will start leaking. If this
occurs, the damaged seal must be replaced. ALWAYS maintain proper water level. If the water level falls below the suction port, the
pump will draw air through the suction port, losing the prime and causing the pump to run dry, resulting in a damaged seal. Continued operation in this
manner could cause a loss of pressure, resulting in damage to the pump case, impeller and seal and may cause property damage and personal injury.
