DO NOT run the pump dry. If the pump is run dry, the mechanical seal will be damaged and the pump will start leaking. If this occurs,
the damaged seal must be replaced. ALWAYS maintain proper water level. If the water level falls below the suction port, the pump will
draw air through the suction port, losing the prime and causing the pump to run dry, resulting in a damaged seal. Continued operation in this manner could cause
a loss of pressure, resulting in damage to the pump case, impeller and seal and may cause property damage and personal injury.

Pump Reassembly

1. When installing the replacement seal into the
seal plate, use soapy water to wet the rubber
boot before pressing it into the seal plate.
2. Remount the seal plate to the motor.
3. Before installing the rotating portion of the seal
on the motor shaft, wet the motor shaft with
soapy water and slide the seal onto the motor
shaft. Ensure that the carbon face contacts the
ceramic face of the stationary seat. Press the
seal into the seal plate with your thumbs and
wipe off the ceramic with a clean cloth.
4. Screw impeller onto the motor shaft (clockwise
to tighten).
5. Screw in the impeller lock screw (counter-
clockwise to tighten).
Note: Insert a 1/4" hex Allen wrench into the
motor shaft through the hole in the rear motor
fan cover. This will prevent the motor shaft
from rotating and you screw in the impeller lock
screw.
6. Remount the diffuser onto the seal plate. Make
sure the plastic pins and holding screw inserts
are aligned.
7. Grease the diffuser quad ring and seal plate
O-ring prior to reassembly.
8. Assemble the motor sub-assembly to the
strainer pot-pump body. Tighten the bolts until all
4 bolts are in place and finger tightened.
9. Fill the pump with water.
10. Reinstall the pump lid and plastic clamp; see the
next section, 'Restart Instructions'.
11. Re-prime the system.

Restart Instructions

If SuperMax VS Variable Speed Pump is installed below the
®
water level of the pool, close return and suction lines prior
to opening hair and lint pot on pump. Make sure to re-open
valves prior to operating.

Priming the Pump

The pump strainer pot must be filled with water before the
pump is initially started.
Follow these steps to prime the pump:
1. Remove the pump lid plastic clamp. Remove the pump
lid.
2. Fill the pump strainer pot with water.
3. Reassemble the pump cover and plastic clamp onto the
strainer pot. The pump is now ready to prime.
4. Open the air release valve on the filter, and stand clear of
the filter.
5. Turn on the power to the pump.
6. Press the Start/Stop button on the drive keypad. If the
pump is currently scheduled to run it will start.
Note: If the pump is not schedule to start, press a Speed
button to begin a manual override that will start the pump.
7. When water comes out of the air release valve, close
the valve. The system should now be free of air and
recirculating water to and from the pool.
