[. . . ] Install pump with at least 2 hydraulically balanced main drains equipped with correctly installed, screw-fastened, anti-entrapment certified covers according to local regulations. If this pump is installed in an enclosure/pump house, the enclosure must have adequate ventilation and air circulation to keep the temperature in the enclosure at or below the motor's rated ambient temperature whenever the pump is running. Allow pump suction inlet height to be as close to water level as possible. Onga recommends mounting the pump on a concrete platform for quietest performance. NOTICE: For three-phase motor pumps, start the motor for a few revolutions checking that rotation direction is clockwise (watch the motor from the fan side). If rotation is counter-clockwise, change over the connections of two phases. Pump service should be performed by suitably qualified personnel. Always unplug power lead prior to service to prevent personal injury. 6 15 OPERATION (Continued) Routine Maintenance The only routine maintenance required is periodic inspection/cleaning of hair & lint pot basket. Debris or trash that collects in basket will choke off water flow through the pump. Switch off power to pump, close valves in suction and discharge, and release all pressure from system before proceeding. If the lid is too tight to undo by hand, use a lever such as a board or long screwdriver positioned between the lid lugs and turn counterclockwise. Ensure all holes in basket are clear, flush basket with water and replace in bowl assembly with large opening at pipe connection port (between ribs provided). If basket is replaced backwards the lid will not fit on casing & bowl. Prime pump (refer priming instructions). Installation (Continued) NOTICE: If the pump is not provided with a supply cord and a plug, or with other means of disconnection from the supply having a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles, such means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring. NOTICE: Use Teflon tape for making all threaded connections to the pump. Do not use pipe dope (glue) as this will cause stress fractures in the pump. Wrap male pipe threads with one to two layers (or a sufficient number of layers) of Teflon tape. If leaks occur, remove pipe, clean off old tape, rewrap as previously with one to two additional layers of tape and remake the connection. Piping: To reduce friction losses use at least 2" (50mm) PVC pipe. To avoid stress on the pump, support both suction and discharge pipes independently. To avoid a strain left by a gap at the last connection, start all piping at the pump and run pipe away from the pump. To avoid airlocking, slope suction pipe slightly upward toward the pump. NOTICE: To prevent flooding when removing pump for service, all flooded suction systems must have shut-off valves in suction and discharge pipes. [. . . ] Follow the guidelines below for a pump installation which minimises risk to users of pools, spas, and hot tubs. Entrapment Protection The pump suction system must provide protection against the hazard of suction entrapment or hair entrapment/entanglement. All suction outlets must have correctly installed, screw-fastened covers in place. Testing and Certification Suction outlet covers must have been tested by a nationally recognised testing laboratory and found to comply with the latest AS1926. 3-2003 Standard or the relevant local standard.
