Ensure that the disconnected circuit is locked out or properly tagged so that it cannot be switched on while you are working on the pump. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death to serviceman, pool users or others due to electric shock.
CAUTION — This pump is for use with permanently installed pools and may also be used with hot tubs and spas if so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage.

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.
Cleaning the Pump Strainer Basket WARNING — 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.
Protect from the weather. c. If a motor has become wet - let it dry before operating. Do not allow the pump to operate if it has been flooded. d. If a motor has been damaged by water it voids the motor warranty.
Read all servicing instructions before working on the pump. WARNING — 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.
7. Grease the diffuser quad ring and seal plate o-ring prior to reassembly. 8. Grease the bolt threads, assemble the motor sub-assembly to the strainer pot-pump body by using the two through bolts for proper alignment. Do not tighten the through bolts until all 4 bolts are in place and finger tightened.
Make sure to reopen valves prior to operating. CAUTION — DO NOT run the pump dry. If the pump is run dry, the mechanical seal will be damaged and the pump will start leaking. If this occurs, the damaged seal must be replaced. ALWAYS maintain proper water level in your pool (half way up skimmer opening).
Corrective Action Check suction piping and valve glands on any suction gate valves. Secure lid on pump strainer pot and make sure lid gasket is in place. Check water level to make sure skimmer is not drawing air. Make sure suction lines, pump strainer, and pump volute are full of water.
