WARNING —THIS FILTER OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE.
When any part of the circulating system (e.g., Lock Ring, Pump,
Filter, Valves, etc.) is serviced, air can enter the system and
become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the lid to blow
off which can result in server injury, death, or property damage.
To avoid this potential hazard, follow these instructions.
11. Open the manual air relief valve on top of the filter.
12. Stand clear of the filter. Start the pump.
13. Bleed air from the filter until a steady stream of water comes out. Close the manual air relief valve.
Winterizing
1. If the air temperature drops below 35° F., the water in the pump can freeze and cause damage. Freeze damage
is not warrantable.
2. To prevent freeze damage follow the procedures listed below:
a. Shut off electrical power for the pump at the house circuit breaker.
b. Drain the water out of the pump case by removing the two thumb-twist drain plugs from the case. Store
the plugs in the pump basket.
c. Cover the motor to protect it from severe rain, snow and ice.
d. Do not wrap the motor in plastic. It will cause condensation and rust on the inside of the motor.
