connect unit to electric supply;provide a properly located outlet.
CAUTION-This pump is for use with storable pools only.Do not use with
permanently-installed pools.A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable
of being readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original
integrity.A permanently-installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a
building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage.
IMPORTANT- Using the pump with an unmatched electrical supply is
dangerous and will result in catastrophic failure of pump.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK- When working with electricity, turn the
electrical power off at the circuit breaker and lock breaker door. Failure to do
so will result in increased risk of shock, injury and possibly death.

Pump Installation Directions
PART I
Internal Filter Pump Inspection
1) Remove the Filter Cap by unscrewing the Filter Cap Retainer.
2) Inspect the Filter Cartridge ensuring it is centered in the Filter Pump.
3) After inspection, check that the Filter Cap Seal is in place, replace the Filter
Cap and screw the Filter Cap Retainer into position.
PART II
Attach the Hoses to the Filter Pump and the Pool
1) Place the loose Hose Clamps on both the ends of the Hoses.
2) Attach the Hoses to the corresponding letters on both the pool and the
Filter Pump (A to A, B to B).
3) Tighten the Hose Clamps to the Filter Pump by screwing the fly nut
clockwise .
4) Remove the Stopper Plugs from the pool's Inlet and Outlet Valves and
insert the Debris Screens.
5) With the Hoses and the Debris Screens in position, tighten the Hose
Clamps.
NOTE: It is important to ensure all elements: Hoses, Debris Screens and
WARNING
Inlet/Outlet Valves are properly aligned.
NOTE: After pump is attached to pool, refer to pool manual for filling
instructions.

Pedestal Fixing

EN60335-2-41 TEST standard requires the filter pump must be vertically fixed
on ground or a certain pedestal made of wood or concrete before use. There
should be two holes 9mm in diameter on the pedestal, the space between
which should be 124mm. Put filter pump on the pedestal and fix them together
by fasten the bolts and nuts. All the pedestal parts should weigh over 18kgs at
least to prevent the pump from accidental falling.
PART III
Preparing the System for Use
1) Open/unscrew the Air Purge Valve on the top of the Filter Pump; air is
released as water fills the Filter Pump.
2) When water comes out of the Air Purge Valve screw it closed and wipe
away any water.
3) To start the Filter Pump, Insert the plug of the filter pump to a residual
current device (RCD).
NOTE: To prevent the risk of electrical shock, ensure your hands are
completely dry when plugging-in the Filter Pump.
NOTE: To prevent the risk of electrical shock, never run the Filter Pump when
people are swimming in the pool.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT DRY RUN THE FILTER PUMP – Make sure both the
pool's Inlet and Outlet valves are fully covered by water before operating the
Filter Pump.

2) Loosen the Hose Clamps on the pool's Inlet and Outlet Hoses by
unscrewing the fly nut counter-clockwise.
3) Remove Debris Screens from inside of pool.
4) Replace the Debris Screens with the Stopper Plugs in the pool's Inlet and
Outlet Valves.
Part II
