Do not
retighten
strainer Ring-Lok during operation.
WINTERIZING
Always protect system from freezing
temperatures. Drain the system if there
is a possibility of freezing. To drain the
system:
1. Units with a filter:
a. Sand filter: Backwash for 3 to 5
minutes and then set dial valve to
winterize position.
b. Cartridge filter: Clean the filter
element and store in dry area.
2. Drain system by loosening drain
plug. The drain plug does not
have to be completely removed.
Removing pipe caps will facilitate
draining also.
Maintenance
Disconnect, tag and lock
out power source before
attempting to install, service,
relocate or perform any maintenance.
1. Motors are self-lubricating - no
additional lubrication is required.
2. Clean pool pump strainer of hair
and lint.
3. Visually inspect motor for blockage
of air vents on motor shell. Remove
any debris after shutting off breaker.
4. Replace worn shaft seals.
HAIR AND LINT STRAINER
1. Switch off the power.
2. Close the valves in the suction and
return line.
3. Turn strainer Ring-Lok counter-
clockwise and remove stainer cover.
4. Lift strainer basket away from the
pump.
5. Clean and reposition the basket
into the pump. Take care to seat the
basket properly.
6. Clean the o-ring and relubricate
with petroleum jelly if necessary.
7. Clean o-ring seats on the cover and
strainer.
8. Refit the cover and strainer Ring-
Lok; hand tighten only.
9. Open the valves to return pump to
operation.
