Startup

NOTES:

It may be necessary to make adjustment to the lid handles after the break in period has occurred or if the gasket is disturbed during cleaning.

• ONLY AFTER PROPER INSTALLATION IS COMPLETED SHOULD YOU PROCEED WITH LEAK TEST OPERATION.
• PROSTRAINER SHOULD BE INSTALLED ON THE SUCTION SIDE OF PUMP ONLY.
• ALWAYS CHECK VALVES POSITION BEFORE STARTING PUMP
• NEVER START PUMP UNTIL ALL SYSTEM VALVES ARE IN FULL OPEN POSITION
• NEVER OPEN OR CLOSE VALVES QUICKLY WHILE PUMP IS RUNNING OR SERIOUS DAMAGE

1. Pool, water feature, fountain or other fluid body must be filled to proper operating level.
2. Pump must have power and be previously tested for proper rotation.
3. Open pump discharge valve full open.
4. Open all other valves down stream to full open position.
5. Open all influent line valves EXCEPT on closest to Strainer.
6. Slowly open influent valve and watch fluid fill strainer.
7. When strainer is full check for leaks.
8. If leaking occurs take corrective action.
9. When ProStrainer is full and not leaking you may proceed.
10. Start pump and allow the system to stabilize for a few minutes.
11. Slowly, adjust any and all discharge valves to desired flow rate.
12. Continue to inspect ProStrainer cover for leaks. If small leaks occur it may be necessary to adjust lid draw latches. Start the adjusting process at the draw latches closest to the most amount of leakage and work toward the area where the leaking is less. Only adjust one handle at a time until cover is sealed tightly.
13. To increase pressure loosens lock nut on draw latch clamping arm. Turn clamping arm clock wise to increase pressure on lid and counter clockwise to decrease pressure on lid. Re-tighten lock nut when adjustment is satisfactory.
14. Periodically examine the baskets to see how full they are when pump vacuum increases by a predetermined amount (generally 3 inches of Mercury) clean baskets.
15. Always clean baskets prior to long periods of anticipated unattended maintenance.
