Note
When pump is mounted permanently within 5 ft. of the inside walls of a swimming pool, you must use a No. 8 AWG or larger conductor to connect to bonding conductor lug.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
CAUTION
This pump is for use with permanently installed pools and may also be used with hot tubs and spas if so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it may be readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity and has a maximum dimension of 18 feet (5.49m) and a maximum wall height of 42 inches (1.07m).
CAUTION
For hot tubs and spa pumps, do not install within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt of a hot tub or spa unless so marked.
SECTION I. GENERAL INFORMATION.
A. Wiring.
WARNING
Risk of electrical shock or electrocution.
This pool pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool serviceman in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper installation will create an electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury to pool users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property.
Always disconnect power to the pool pump at the circuit breaker before servicing the pump. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to serviceman, pool users or others due to electric shock.
1. Make sure all electrical breakers and switches are turned off before wiring motor.
2.Make sure that the wiring voltage matches the motor voltage (230v or 115v). If they do not match the motor will burn up.
3.Choose a wire size from the Chart 1. When in doubt use a heavier gauge (larger diameter) wire. Heavier gauge will allow the motor to run cooler and more efficient.
4.Make sure all electrical connections are clean and tight.
5.Cut wires to the appropriate length so they don’t overlap or touch when connected to the terminal board.

6.Permanently ground the motor using the green ground terminal located on the inside of the motor canopy or access plate, see Figure 1. Use the correct wire size and type specified by National Electrical Code. Make sure the ground wire is connected to an electrical service ground.
7.Bond the motor to the pool structure in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Use a solid No. 8 AWG or larger copper conductor. Run a wire from the external bonding to the pool bonding structure, see Figure 1.
8.Connect the pump permanently to a circuit. Make sure no other lights or appliances are on the same circuit.

NOTE
It is important that the O-ring be kept clean and well lubricated. We recommend a silicone base lubricant for best results.
B. The Pump Strainer Basket.
This unit, sometimes referred to as the ‘Hair and Lint Pot’, is the unit in front of the volute. Inside the chamber is the basket which must be kept clean of leaves and debris at all times. View basket through the ‘See Through Lid’ to inspect for leaves and debris.
Regardless of the length of time between filter cleaning, it is most important to visually inspect the hair and lint pot basket at least once a week. A dirty basket will reduce the efficiency of the filter and heater and also put an abnormal stress on the pump motor which would result in a costly repair bill.
SECTION II. MAINTENANCE.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the pump and filter and for proper operation of the system, clean pump strainer and skimmer baskets regularly.
A.Pump Strainer Basket Cleaning Procedures.
1.Turn off motor.
2.Relieve pressure in the system.
3.Turn the clamp and lid in a counter-clockwise direction until it stops.
4.Turn the clamp and lid set to remove the clamp and lid.
5.Put the debris from the basket into the trash and rinse out the basket. If the basket is cracked, it should be replaced.
6.Replace the basket and fill the pump pot and volute up to the inlet port with water.
7.Clean the cover, cover O-ring, and sealing surface of the pump pot. Grease the O-ring with Teflon or silicone.
