Priming Pump; Routine Maintenance - K2 Pumps PPV10001SPK Manual Del Propietário

OPERATION
Avoid running pump dry. Fill pump with water before starting motor. Before removing trap cover:
1. STOP PUMP before proceeding.
2. CLOSE GATE VALVES in suction and discharge pipes.
3. RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from pump and piping system.
4. If pump is being pressure tested, be sure pressure has been released before removing trap cover.
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
mallet.
3. Remove the basket and clean. Inspect holes in basket for blockage. Clean the basket with water and replace in
trap. Verify that the basket is oriented correctly in pump housing.
