WARNING: Do not block pump suction. To do so with body may cause severe or fatal injury. Small children using pool
must ALWAYS have close adult supervision.
WARNING: Fire and burn hazard. Motor runs at high temperatures, to reduce the risk of fire, do not allow debris, or
foreign matter to collect around the pump motor. Allow motor to cool prior to handling or performing maintenance.
The motor is equipped with an internal thermal protection circuit to guard against overheating. The maximum ambient
temperature for motor operation must not exceed rating on motor model plate.
Priming Pump
Release all pressure from filter, pump, and piping system; see the filter owner’s
manual. In a flooded suction system (water source higher than pump), pump
will prime automatically during suction and discharge valves are opened.
If the pump is located above the normal pool water level, remove ring and trap
assembly, and fill trap and pump with water. Clean and inspect O-ring; then
reinstall on trap cover. Replace trap cover assembly on trap, then rotate
clockwise to tighten cover.
NOTICE: Tighten ring and cover assembly by hand - do not use tools. Pump
priming time will depend on the vertical distance and length of the suction line.
The pump is designed to prime at 10 ft. or less. If the pump does not prime, make sure that all valves are open, and
that the suction pipe is submerged. Verify there are no leaks in the suction lines.
Routine Maintenance
The only routine maintenance needed is the inspection and cleaning of the trap basket. Debris or trash that collects in
the basket will choke off water flow through the pump.
Before attempting to clean the basket:
1. Stop pump, close valves in suction and discharge, and release pressure from system.
WARNING: Hazardous suction can trap hair or body parts, causing severe injury or death. Do not block suction.
2. Remove the ring and cover assembly by turning counter clockwise. If necessary, tap handles gently with a rubber

INSTRUCCIONES DE SEGURIDAD
1. PELIGRO: No bombee líquidos inflamables o explosivos, como aceite, gasolina, queroseno, etanol, etc. No utilizar en
presencia de vapores inflamables o explosivos. El uso de esta bomba con líquidos inflamables, o cerca de ellos, puede
causar una explosión o un incendio, lo que puede provocar daños materiales, lesiones personales graves o la muerte.
2. PELIGRO: Desconecte SIEMPRE la fuente de alimentación de la bomba antes de hacerle el mantenimiento.
3. PELIGRO: No toque la carcasa del motor durante el funcionamiento. El motor está diseñado para funcionar a altas
temperaturas. No desmonte la carcasa del motor.
4. PELIGRO: No manipule la bomba o el motor con las manos mojadas o cuando esté parado sobre una superficie
mojada o húmeda, o en el agua.
5. ADVERTENCIA: Use gafas de protección en todo momento cuando trabaje con bombas.
6. ADVERTENCIA: Esta es una bomba de 230 V. Todo el cableado debe ser conectado por un electricista calificado.
7. ADVERTENCIA: Proteja el cable eléctrico de objetos afilados, superficies calientes, aceite y productos químicos. Evite
torcer el cable. No utilice cables dañados o gastados.
8. ADVERTENCIA: No respetar las instrucciones y el funcionamiento previsto de esta unidad puede anular la garantía.
INTENTAR UTILIZAR UNA BOMBA DAÑADA puede provocar daños materiales, lesiones personales graves o la
muerte.
9. ADVERTENCIA: La bomba debe conectarse a un tomacorriente con interruptor de falla a tierra (GFCI) protegido con
un fusible o disyuntor de 15 amperios (230 V).
10. ADVERTENCIA: Peligro de incendio y quemaduras. Los motores funcionan a altas temperaturas. No permita que se
acumulen hojas, residuos o materiales extraños alrededor del motor de la bomba. Deje que el motor se enfríe antes de
manipularlo.
11. PRECAUCIÓN: Conozca la bomba y sus usos, limitaciones y peligros potenciales.
12. PRECAUCIÓN: Revise periódicamente la bomba y los componentes del sistema. Desconecte la bomba de la fuente
de alimentación antes de la revisión.
13. PRECAUCIÓN: Cumpla todos los códigos eléctricos y de seguridad locales, junto con el Código Eléctrico Nacional
(National Electrical Code, NEC). Además, se deben seguir todas las pautas de la Administración de Salud y Seguridad
Ocupacional (Occupational Safety and Health Administration, OSHA).
14. PRECAUCIÓN: Esta bomba se debe usar con piscinas instaladas de manera permanente. No la use con piscinas
almacenables. Una piscina permanente se construye en o sobre el suelo o en un edificio, y no está diseñada para ser
desmontada o movida.
15. PRECAUCIÓN: Utilice un tubería de PVC rígida o flexible. Asegúrese de que los extremos de la tubería estén limpios y
libres de rebabas causadas por el corte. Utilice el pegamento adecuado para el tipo de tubería seleccionado.
16. PRECAUCIÓN: Coloque la bomba sobre una superficie no combustible, lo más cerca posible de la piscina o
hidromasaje. La superficie debe estar dura, nivelada, seca y bien ventilada. El área circundante debe brindar
protección contra la intemperie, y permitir suficiente espacio para el mantenimiento y el servicio. Asegúrese de que el
drenaje descargue lejos de la bomba. Para reducir la vibración y la tensión de la tubería, use pernos de anclaje para
asegurar la base de la bomba a la superficie.
17. PRECAUCIÓN: Utilice un cebador recomendado por el proveedor para garantizar que las juntas pegadas estén
seguras. Muchos códigos locales exigen un cebador con un trazador púrpura para verificar su uso.

18. PRECAUCIÓN: Tenga en cuenta las condiciones climáticas al aplicar los adhesivos. Las condiciones atmosféricas con
alta humedad harán que la acción adhesiva de ciertos pegamentos sea menos eficaz. Siga las instrucciones del
fabricante.
19. PRECAUCIÓN: Esta bomba debe ser instalada y reparada solo por un profesional calificado de servicio de piscinas.
Los instaladores, operadores de piscinas y propietarios deben leer las advertencias y todas las instrucciones del
manual del propietario antes de usar esta bomba. El propietario de la piscina debe guardar estas advertencias y el
manual.
20. IMPORTANTE: Diseñe el sistema de tuberías para permitir que la altura de entrada de succión de la bomba esté lo
más cerca posible del nivel del agua. Monte la bomba por debajo del nivel del agua para facilitar el cebado. Si la
bomba debe ubicarse por encima del nivel del agua llena, mantenga la distancia vertical al mínimo. Utilice una tubería
corta y directa a la succión para reducir al mínimo la pérdida por fricción.
21. IMPORTANTE: El motor de esta bomba tiene un protector térmico que se disparará si el motor se calienta demasiado.
El protector se reiniciará automáticamente una vez que el motor se enfríe y se haya alcanzado una temperatura
aceptable. La bomba puede arrancar inesperadamente si está enchufada.
22. IMPORTANTE: Asegúrese de que la fuente de alimentación eléctrica sea adecuada para los requisitos de la bomba.
23. IMPORTANTE: Esta bomba está hecha de materiales de alta resistencia y resistentes a la corrosión. Proporcionará un
funcionamiento sin problemas durante mucho tiempo si se instala, mantiene y utiliza correctamente. Sin embargo, la
bomba puede fallar si la alimentación eléctrica a la bomba es inadecuada, o si hay suciedad o residuos. Lea
detenidamente este manual y siga las instrucciones relacionadas con los problemas y las soluciones comunes de la
bomba.
24. IMPORTANTE: Proporcione suficiente ventilación para mantener la temperatura del aire por debajo de la temperatura
ambiente nominal máxima que se muestra en la placa de identificación del motor. Todo recinto o alojamiento de
bombas debe permitir una ventilación adecuada para asegurar que la temperatura ambiente permanezca por debajo
de la temperatura ambiente nominal del motor cuando la bomba esté en funcionamiento.
