HAYWARD Hi-Performance Pumps
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ULTRA-MAX
Your Hayward Ultra-Max self priming centrifugal pump has
been quality-built and engineered to give you many years of
e cient,
dependable
corrosion-proof motor housing provides protection from the
elements and insulates the electrical motor parts from outside
contact. The advanced design reduces operation and
maintenance to simple, common-sense procedures.
GENERAL TIPS ON PUMP INSTALLATION
For best pump performance, locate the system below the pool
water line and as close to the pool as possible. If you own an
above ground pool please see Note: NSPI-4 Article V, for safe and
proper installation of the equipment package. Make sure
suction joints are tight. Suction pipe should be as large or larger
than discharge pipe.
Damp, non-ventilated locations should be avoided. Motors
require free circulation of air to aid in cooling.
Insure that the electrical supply available agrees with the
motor's voltage, phase and cycle, and that wire size is adequate
for the HP/KW rating and distance from the power source. Motor
must always be properly grounded. If cord connected, use only
a properly grounded outlet. Electrical circuits should be
protected by proper size ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
All electrical wiring should be performed by quali ed personnel
and must conform to local codes and regulations.
1.
Clean strainer basket regularly. Do not strike basket to clean.
Inspect strainer cover gasket regularly and replace as necessary.
2.
Hayward pumps have self-lubricating motor bearings and shaft
seals. No lubrication is necessary.
3.
Keep motor housing clean. Insure air vents are free from
obstructions, debris, etc.

STARTING AND PRIMING INSTRUCTIONS
Fill strainer/housing completely with water. Never operate the
pump without water. Water acts as a coolant and lubricant for
the mechanical shaft seal.
Open all suction and discharge lines and valves, as well as air
bleed (if available) on lter. (The air that is to be displaced from
the suction line must have some place to go).
Turn on power and allow a reasonable time for priming. Priming
time depends on suction lift and length of suction piping. If
pump will not start, or will not prime, see TROUBLE SHOOTING
GUIDE on back page.
Note: NSPI-4 Article V, standard for above ground and on
ground pools, advises that components such as the ltration
system, pumps and heater be positioned so as to prevent their
being used as a means of access to the pool by young children.
4. Occasionally, shaft seals must be replaced, due to wear or
damage. See instructions
STORAGE/WINTERIZING
Pump and motor must be protected from freezing. Shut o all
electric power. Disconnect cord/electrical connections and
plumbing connections. Drain thoroughly and clean out any
debris. Store pump and motor in a dry, well ventilated room.
