This manual provides installation and operating instructions for Hayward self-priming centrifugal pumps, specifically the SP-2600 Series. It covers safety precautions, starting and priming procedures, and general installation tips such as locating the pump near the pool and ensuring proper suction line slope. The document emphasizes the importance of using a grounding-type receptacle protected by a GFCI and avoiding damp, non-ventilated locations for the motor.
Yes, the pump may be used with hot tubs and spas if so marked, but it is not U.L. listed for storable pools.
No, Hayward pumps have self-lubricating motor bearings and shaft seals, so no lubrication is necessary.
Remove the motor end cover, prevent the shaft from turning with a wrench, and rotate the impeller counterclockwise to remove it.
