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.
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

DO NOT open the strainer pot if pump fails to prime or if pump has been operating without water in the strainer pot. Pumps
operated in these circumstances may experience a build up of vapor pressure and may contain scalding hot water. Opening
the pump may cause serious personal injury. In order to avoid the possibility of personal injury, make sure the suction and
discharge valves are open and strainer pot temperature is cool to touch, then open with extreme caution.
To prevent damage to the pump and filter and for proper operation of the system, clean pump strainer and skimmer
baskets regularly.
