SAFETY
WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. Connect only to a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). Do not use extension cords. Contact a
qualified electrician to provide a properly located GFCI outlet if not
available.
1. If installed within an outer enclosure or spa / hot tub skirt, provide
for adequate ventilation and air circulation to prevent overheating of
motor.
2. Properly secure to ground pad.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use
this product unless closely supervised at all times.
GENERAL TIPS AND GUIDELINES
Locate the pump as close to pool as practical and run suction line as direct
as possible. This cuts down on friction loss through pipe and fittings. Never
overtighten pipe connections. Use only pipe sealants formulated specifically
for plastics (Teflon tape, Permatex No. 2, etc.). Suction line should have
continuous slope from lowest point in line. Make sure suction joints are
tight. Suction pipe should be as large or larger than discharge pipe. Damp,
nonventilated locations should be avoided. Motors require free circulation of
air to aid in cooling. Insure that the electrical supply available is compatible
with the motor's voltage, phase and cycle, and that wire size is adequate for
the HP rating and distance from power source. Motor must always be properly
grounded. If cord is connected, use only a properly grounded outlet. Electrical
circuits must be protected by proper size Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) as required by applicable electrical codes. All electrical wiring must
be performed by qualified personnel, and must conform to local codes and
regulations.
MAINTENANCE
1. Clean strainer basket regularly. Do not strike basket to clean. Inspect
strainer, lid, and o-ring regularly and replace as necessary.
2. Waterway pumps have self-lubricating motor bearings and shaft seals.
No lubrication is necessary.
3. POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD! Keep motor clean. Insure air vents are free
from obstruction (grass, dry leaves, etc.).
4. Occasionally, shaft seals become damaged or worn and must be
replaced. See Seal Changing instructions.
WINTERIZATION
1. Drain pump by removing drain plug(s) and store in strainer basket.
2. Disconnect electrical wires and protect pump assembly from the
elements by covering. Or, you may choose to disconnect electrical wires
and pipe connections, and store pump in a dry, well-ventilated room.
NOTE: Before reactivating pump, relubricate o-rings and thoroughly
clean and remove scale, dirt, etc.
SEAL CHANGING
EXERCISE EXTREME CARE IN HANDLING AND INSTALLING THE
NEW SEAL AND FACE PLATE. THE SURFACES OF THE CERAMIC SEAL
(IN THE IMPELLER) MAY EASILY BE DAMAGED BY DIRT OR SCRATCHING!
WARNING: Turn off power before servicing.
1. Stop water flow to and from pump. Drain pump by removing drain
plugs.
2. Remove the eight (8) 3/8" x 1 3/4" hex head bolts which hold the face
plate to the volute.
3. Slide the motor assembly out from the volute, exposing the diffuser.
Unscrew 3/32" Allenhead screws and pop out diffuser, exposing the
impeller wear ring. The wear ring should fit snugly on the impeller. If
not, replace it.
4. Remove the motor shaft end cover by prying with flathead screwdriver.
5. To prevent motor shaft from turning, carefully slide a 7/16" wrench
between the capacitor and the protector switch, and rotate the
impeller so the wrench fits over the (2) flats on the motor shaft.
6. Rotate the impeller counterclockwise and remove. The spring portion
of the seal assembly is now exposed.
NOTE: Carefully position the spring seal, and remove it.
NOTE: Replace motor cover to protect delicate motor parts.
7. Remove the face plate.
NOTE: The "U" shape on the end of the diffuser should be upside-down
when this part is reinstalled.
8. Clean all recesses and parts to be reassembled. Inspect o-ring and
replace if necessary.
9. Clean the impeller hub and pump housing seal recess with a diluted
solution on nongranular liquid-type soap. The use of petroleum or
silicone lubricants may contribute to seal leakage.
10. Gently wipe the black, polished surface of the spring seal assembly
with a soft cotton cloth. Place onto the impeller hub with the black
polished surface facing away from the impeller.
11. Gently wipe the polished face of the ceramic seat with a soft cotton
cloth. Lubricate the o-ring on the ceramic seat and press it firmly and
evenly into the recess of the seal plate polished side facing out.
12. Screw the impeller onto the motor shaft in a clockwise direction.
Tighten snugly by holding motor shaft with wrench.
13. Make sure the wear ring is correctly placed on the impeller. Place the
diffuser over the impeller onto the face plate.
NOTE: The "U" shape on the end of the diffuser should be upside-down.
14. Slide the motor assembly, with the diffuser in place, into the volute
(wet end), being careful not to dislodge the diffuser's o-ring.
15. Fasten assembly to housing using the eight (8) 3/8" x 1 3/4" bolts
(making sure volute o-ring is in place). Tighten bolts alternately so as
to distribute the torque evenly (for example, tighten the top right, the
bottom left, then 2nd from bottom left, then 2nd from top right, and
so on).
