The unit is heavy. Improperly supporting the unit can cause instability which could result in bodily injury. Be sure to disconnect electrical service to the hydraulic pump unit and water quality system (WQS). Accidental activation of the hydraulic pump during servicing would result in the loss of hydraulic fluid requiring extensive clean up and could also promote a chance for bodily harm. Accidental activation of the WQS without adequate water in the pool can cause the pump motor to burn out. Section 3: Hydraulic Pump Replacement Instructions 1. Before performing this replacement, turn off the electrical power to the pool equipment. 2. Unthread the four 3/8 reservoir mounting bolts. 3. Place a one gallon paint can (or similar object adjacent to the power unit. If an alternative to the paint can is being used, it must be able to support the weight of the motor assembly. Tilt the power unit motor assembly up onto its edge. The reservoir lid should rest on the reservoir. Take care not to damage the reservoir gasket. The motor assembly must be tilted in this position to protect the float level switch.

Disconnect the hydraulic hose fitting from the hydraulic pump. 6. Unthread the compression nut on the pick-up tube and remove the pipe and compression nut assembly.

Carefully set this hardware aside as they will be re-used. 9. Attempt to pull the pump off of the motor. If the pump can easily be removed, skip to step 13. If the pump cannot be easily removed, then go to the next step. 10. Two pump puller fittings have been provided with the replacement pump. Unthread the bolt from each fitting. Thread each of the pump puller fittings into the hydraulic pump. When the bolts are threaded back into the fittings, they should sit firmly against the underside of the reservoir lid and NOT the motor. Align the pump puller fittings with the underside of the reservoir lid as best as possible.

If the bolt is seated attains the motor, then unthread the bolt and loosen the pump puller fitting. 12. Take note of the pump s position as the replacement pump must go back in the same position. Alternate tightening each bolt equal amounts until the pump disengages from the power unit motor. The pump puller bolts MUST be tightened at an equal rate. Tightening one of the bolts too much will cause the pump shaft and the motor shaft to bind, locking the motor in place. 13. Install the new pump. The pump shaft key will align with the notch in the hollow shaft of the power unit motor.

Tighten the fitting with a wrench until it is just tight, and then tighten an additional 15º-30º (1/4-1/2 flats from wrench resistance). 16. Thread in the pick-up tube elbow into the new pump. The elbow should be at a 45º angle to the pump. Once the elbow is in the correct position, tighten the lock nut with a wrench it is just tight; then tighten the fitting an additional 15º-30º (1/4-1/2 flats from wrench resistance).

Thread the internal high-pressure hose onto the hydraulic pump hose fitting. Tighten the hose fitting with a wrench until just tight, and then tighten an additional 90º (1-1/2 flats from wrench resistance). 19. Carefully rest the power unit motor assembly back onto the reservoir. Make sure that the reservoir is not damaged and is in place. Re-install the reservoir lid mounting bolts.
