TROUBLE SHOOTING
If servicing of the unit is required at anytime, a service record should be kept
listing details of the problem.
Onga stands by its quality products, however if a fault occurs and cannot be
rectified by following the trouble shooting guide as set out below, please contact
Onga on 1800 664 266 (Australia) or 0800 664 269 (New Zealand) where our
locator service will direct you to your nearest sales stockist or service agent.
Please be aware that a service fee will be applicable if a fault occurs
other than that as described in the product guarantee as being due to
defects in materials or faulty manufacture.
Only qualified, licensed personnel should install pump and wiring
whilst observing local safety regulations.
Pump mount must:
Be located away from corrosive or flammable chemicals.
Have enough ventilation to maintain air temperature at less than the
maximum ambient temperature rating. If this pump is installed in an
enclosure/pump house, the enclosure must have adequate ventilation
and air circulation to keep the temperature in the enclosure at or below
the motor’s rated ambient temperature whenever the pump is running.
Be solid - Level - Rigid - Vibration free. (To reduce vibration and pipe stress,
bolt pump to mount).
Allow pump suction inlet height to be as close to water level as possible.
Allow use of short, direct suction pipe (to reduce friction losses).
Allow for shut-off valves in suction and discharge piping.
Have adequate floor drainage to prevent flooding.
Be protected from excess moisture.
Allow adequate access for servicing pump and piping.
Onga recommends mounting the pump on a concrete platform for quietest
performance.
NOTICE: For three-phase motor pumps, start the motor for a few revolutions
checking that rotation direction is clockwise (watch the motor from the fan
side). If rotation is counter-clockwise, change over the connections of two
phases.
Pump service should be performed by suitably qualified personnel.
Always unplug power lead prior to service to prevent personal injury.

OPERATION (Continued)
Routine Maintenance
The only routine maintenance required is periodic inspection/cleaning of hair &
lint pot basket. Debris or trash that collects in basket will choke off water flow
through the pump. Follow instructions below to clean basket:
1.Switch off power to pump, close valves in suction and discharge, and
release all pressure from system before proceeding.
2.Remove lid (turn counterclockwise). If necessary, undo drain plug to
reduce lid vacuum. Do not use a hammer or similar tool to loosen the
lid. If the lid is too tight to undo by hand, use a lever such as a board or
long screwdriver positioned between the lid lugs and turn
counterclockwise.
3.Remove basket and clean. Ensure all holes in basket are clear,
flush basket with water and replace in bowl assembly with large opening
at pipe connection port (between ribs provided). If basket is replaced
backwards the lid will not fit on casing & bowl. To clean transparent
cover, use water and neutral soap only. Do not use solvents.
4.Clean and inspect lid o’ring; reinstall on bowl assembly.
5.Clean O’ring groove on bowl assembly and replace lid. To help keep
cover from sticking, tighten hand tight only.
6.Prime pump (refer priming instructions).
Pump Service
Pump should only be serviced by qualified personnel. For best
results, use only genuine Onga factory parts.Be sure to prime pump
before starting.
Before removing hair & lint pot lid:
1.SWITCH OFF POWER to pump before proceeding.
2.CLOSE SHUT-OFF VALVES in suction and discharge pipes.
3.RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from pump and piping system.
4.NEVER tighten or loosen lid while pump is operating!
To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock hazard, turn OFF power to motor
and remove plug from power outlet before working on pump or motor.
Installation (Continued)
NOTICE: If the pump is not provided with a supply cord and a plug, or with
other means of disconnection from the supply having a contact separation of
at least 3mm in all poles, such means for disconnection must be incorporated
in the fixed wiring.
NOTICE: Use Teflon tape for making all threaded connections to the pump.
Do not use pipe dope (glue) as this will cause stress fractures in the pump.
Teflon Taping Instructions:
Use only new or clean PVC pipe fittings.
Wrap male pipe threads with one to two layers (or a sufficient number of
layers) of Teflon tape. Cover entire threaded portion.
If leaks occur, remove pipe, clean off old tape, rewrap as previously with one
to two additional layers of tape and remake the connection.
NOTICE: Support all piping connected with pump.
Piping:
To reduce friction losses use at least 2” (50mm) PVC pipe. Increase size if a
long run is needed.
To avoid stress on the pump, support both suction and discharge pipes
independently. Place these supports as close to the pump as possible.
To avoid a strain left by a gap at the last connection, start all piping at the
pump and run pipe away from the pump.
Never use a suction pipe smaller than pump suction connection.
To avoid airlocking, slope suction pipe slightly upward toward the pump.
NOTICE: To prevent flooding when removing pump for service, all flooded
suction systems must have shut-off valves in suction and discharge pipes.
Fittings:
Fittings restrict flow; for best efficiency use fewest possible fittings.
Avoid fittings which could cause an air trap.
Pool outlets:
Use only non-entrapping suction fittings or double suction conforming with the
AS1926.3-2003 Standard, or local authority requirements.
No lubrication or regular maintenance is needed beyond reasonable care and
periodic cleaning of strainer basket. When pump is not in use and there is a risk
of frost, empty it completely through the drain plug.
14
The fittings on these pool pumps are constructed of ABS. Some PVC
jointing compounds are incompatible with ABS possibly causing
failure to the product. Check compound suitability prior to use.

Page 8
INSTALLATION (Continued)
All glued fittings and pipe work should be allowed to dry to
atmosphere for 24 hours before closing installation. Failure to do so
could cause injury or installation failure.
Barrel Unions are to be hand tightened ONLY, to prevent damage
occurring from over-tightening.
Operation (Continued)
Priming Pump
Release all air from filter, pump and piping system: refer filter owner’s manual.
In a flooded suction system (water source higher than pump), pump will prime
itself when suction and discharge valves are opened.
If pump is not in a flooded suction system, disconnect power supply to pump
and remove hair & lint pot lid; fill casing & bowl with water.
Clean, inspect and lubricate the lid O’ring; reinstall O’ring onto casing & bowl
groove.
Pump Mounting:

33
1)Pump position must be: Solid - Level - Rigid - Vibration Free
2)Allow pump suction inlet height to be as close to water level as possible.
3)Allow for use of a piece of short, straight suction pipe into the suction
port of the pump (minimum length for 40mm diameter suction = 160mm;
50mmdiameter suction = 200mm) in order to minimise water turbulence
entering the pump.
4)Allow for control valves in suction and discharge piping. (Essential if
pump is mounted below water level).
5)Have adequate floor drainage to prevent pump being immersed in water
due to flooding.
6)Protect from excess moisture, vermin, dust and weather.
7)Allow access for servicing pump and piping.
8)To provide adequate ventilation keep rear of motor clear (100mm Min)

NOTICE: Apply a silicone based lubricant to the O’ring only.
Replace lid onto bowl assembly; turn clockwise to tighten lid.
NOTICE: Tighten lid by hand only (no wrenches!)
Pump should prime now. Priming time will depend on vertical height of suction
lift and horizontal length of suction piping. The self-priming time range is 1 to 5
minutes for a height difference of 2 to 3 metres, under normal installation
conditions. Normal conditions are understood to be: with suction having an
internal diameter of DN 50mm, water temperature at 20oC, and 50Hz mains
power supply.
Should the pump not prime, ensure that all valves are open, lint trap is clear of
debris and suction pipe end is submersed in water, and that there are no leaks
in suction pipe.
See Troubleshooting Guide.
9)Do not use electrical extension cords/leads.

Operation
NEVER run pump dry. Running pump dry may
damage seals, causing leakage and flooding. Fill
pump with water before starting motor.
Before removing lid:
1.SWITCH OFF POWER SUPPLY to pump and
unplug from outlet before proceeding.
2.CLOSE SHUT-OFF VALVES in suction and
discharge pipes.
3.RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from pump and
piping system.
4.NEVER tighten or loosen lid while pump
is operating!
If pump is being pressure tested, ensure pressure
has been released before removing lid.
Do not block pump suction. To do so with body
may cause severe or fatal injury. Small children
using pool must ALWAYS have close adult
supervision.
Fire and burn hazard. Modern motors run at high
temperatures. To reduce the risk of fire, do not allow
leaves, debris, or foreign matter to collect around the
pump motor. To avoid burns when handling the motor, let
it cool for at least 20 minutes before trying to work on
it.
An internal thermal overload switch protects the motor
from heat damage during operation.
NOTICE: Maximum ambient temperature for motor
operation must not exceed maximum ambient
tempearture rating.
Pool Pump Suction Requirements
Pump suction is hazardous and can trap and drown or disembowel
bathers. Do not use or operate swimming pools, spas, or hot tubs if
a suction outlet cover is missing, broken, or loose. Follow the guidelines
below for a pump installation which minimises risk to users of pools, spas, and
hot tubs.
Entrapment Protection
The pump suction system must provide protection against the hazard of
suction entrapment or hair entrapment/entanglement.
Suction Outlet Covers
All suction outlet covers must be maintained. They must be replaced if
cracked, broken, or missing.
See below for outlet cover certification requirements.
All suction outlets must have correctly installed, screw-fastened covers in
place.
Testing and Certification
Suction outlet covers must have been tested by a nationally recognised
testing laboratory and found to comply with the latest AS1926.3-2003
Standard or the relevant local standard.
Outlets Per Pump
Provide at least two hydraulically balanced main drains, with covers, for each
swimming pool pump suction line. The centers of the main drains (suction
fittings) must be at least 800mm apart.
The system must be built so that it cannot operate with the pump drawing
water from only one main drain (that is, there must be at least two main drains
connected to the pump whenever it is running). However, if two main drains
run into a single suction line, the single suction line may be equipped with a
valve which will shutoff both main drains from the pump.
This appliance is not intended for use by young children
or infirm persons without supervision. Young children
should be supervised at all times when near this
appliance.
12
More than one pump can be connected to a single suction line as long as the
requirements above are met.

Page 10
Pool Pump Suction Requirements (Continued)
Water Velocity
The maximum water velocity through any suction outlet must be 1.8 metres
per second or less unless the outlet complies with the latest AS1926.3-2003
Standard or relevant local standard. In any case, do not exceed the suction
fittings maximum designed flow rate.
If 100% of the pump’s flow comes from the main drain system, the maximum
water velocity in the pump suction hydraulic system must be 1.8 metres per
second or less even if one main drain (suction fitting) is completely blocked.
The flow through the remaining main drain(s) must comply with the latest
AS1926.3-2003 Standard or relevant local standard.
Electrical
Ground motor before connecting to electrical power
supply. Failure to ground motor can cause severe or
fatal electrical shock hazard.
Do not ground to a gas supply line.
To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock, turn OFF
power to motor before working on electrical
connections.
Residual Current Device (RCD) tripping indicates an
electrical problem. If RCD trips and will not reset,
have a qualified electrician inspect and repair
electrical system. Onga recommends that a RCD of
30mA trip current be installed and/or be in
compliance with local regulations.
Exactly match supply voltage to motor nameplate voltage. Incorrect
voltage can cause fire or seriously damage motor and voids warranty. If
in doubt consult a licensed electrician.
The power supply lead has a type “Y” connector and if service is
required to the power lead, it must be replaced with the appropriate
specialised power lead assembly. Warranty is void if unauthorised
modifications are made to any component.
10
240 volt single phase are supplied as standard with built-in thermal
overload protection and are designed to plug direct into a 10 amp
domestic power supply socket to local electrical authority
specifications. Onga recommends that an earth leakage/residual current
protection device must be fitted to all installations. 415 volt 3 phase
motors should be protected with the recommended contactor and
thermal overloads in accordance with local electrical authority
specifications
Voltage
Voltage at motor must not be more than 10% above or below motor
nameplate 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.
