INSTALLATION

Always install with motor in horizontal position. Disconnect power before installation. Add vibration dampeners to piping when mounting to wall or floor joists. Mount pump with arrow on casing pointing in desired flow direction. Casing can be rotated to change flow direction - loosen 4 motor screws, spin casing (without detaching), retighten screws to 25-33 in-lbs. Use flexible conduit only. Install fittings to system piping before connecting pump. For proper system purging, follow diagram instructions in manual. Professional installation recommended.

MAINTENANCE

Set selector to desired speed (MIN, LOW, MED, HIGH, MAX). If pump is noisy, check for air in system or insufficient pressure. If pump doesn’t run with power on, verify voltage and connections. For blocked rotor (red LED), try automatic unblocking by setting to MAX position and cycling power. If unsuccessful, disconnect power, close isolation valves, remove motor from casing, clean impeller, reassemble. Three-year limited warranty. For persistent issues, contact professional service.
