The document serves as an owner's guide for Eagle pool pumps manufactured by Pentair Pool Products. It covers essential safety warnings regarding electrical hazards and proper installation requirements, such as using licensed electricians and correct bonding conductors.
Key sections include detailed procedures for installing the pump strainer basket, priming the pump to prevent running dry, and maintaining the electric motor against heat, dirt, and moisture. The guide also features a troubleshooting section addressing issues like failure to prime or reduced capacity.
You must use a No. 8 AWG or larger conductor to connect to the bonding conductor lug.
It is most important to visually inspect the basket at least twice a week.
