1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This guide provides installation and operation instructions for this pump. Consult your supplier
with any questions regarding this equipment.
1.1 When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed:
•RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Connect only to a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault
circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is
protected by a GFCI.
•This pump is for use with permanent installed in ground or above ground swimming pools and
may also be used with hot tubs and spas if so marked. Do not use with above ground pools
that can be readily disassembled for storage.
• The pump is not submersible.
• Before servicing the pump; switch off power to the pump by disconnecting the main circuit to
the pump.
• Never open the inside of the drive motor enclosure.
1.2 All installations must be fitted with earth leakage or residual current protection
devices, having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA.
WARNING:
•Do not run the pump dry. In case of dry run, mechanical seal will be damaged and the pump
will start leaking. Fill the pump with water before starting.
• Before servicing the pump, switch OFF power to the pump by disconnecting the main circuit
to the pump and release all pressure from pump and piping system.
• Never tighten or loosen screws while the pump is operating.
• Do not block the pump suction.

4. INSTALLATION
4.1. Pump Location
1). Locate pump as close to pool as practical and run suction lines as direct as possible to
reduce friction loss.
2). To avoid direct sunshine or heat, It is recommended to place pump indoor or in the shade.
3). Do NOT install pump in a damp or non-ventilated location. Keep motor clean. Pump motors
require free circulation of air for cooling.
4.2. Piping
1). For improved pool plumbing, it is recommended to use a larger pipe size. When installing
the inlet and outlet fittings (male adaptors), use thread sealant.
2). Piping on the suction side of the pump should be the same or larger than the return line
diameter.
3). Plumbing on the suction side of the pump should be as short as possible.
4). For most installations we recommends installing a valve on both the pump suction and
return lines so that the pump can be isolated during routine maintenance. However, we also

3
recommend that a valve, elbow or tee installed in the suction line should be no closer to the
front of the pump than five times the suction line diameter.
4.3. Valves and Fittings
1). Do not install 90°elbows directly into pump inlet. Elbows should be no closer than 250mm
to the inlet. Joints must be tight. Suction line diameter must equal or be larger than the
discharge line diameter.
2). Flooded suction systems should have gate valves installed on suction and discharge pipes
for maintenance, however, the suction gate valve should be no closer than five times the
suction pipe diameter as described in this section.
3). Use a check valve in the discharge line when using this pump for any application where
there is significant height to the plumbing after the pump.
4). Be sure to install check valves when plumbing in parallel with another pump. This helps
prevent reverse rotation of the impeller and motor.
