SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: The National Electrical Code (NEC) permits use of a cord with a maximum 3 ft.
(1 m) length. If your pump is equipped with a cord complying with the NEC, the following three
(3) items apply.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock.
Connect only to a grounding type receptacle
protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if
you cannot verity that the receptacle is protected by a GFCI.
WARNING
– To reduce the risk of electric shock replace damaged cord immediately.
Do NOT bury cord. Locate cord to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and
other equipment.
WARNING
– To reduce the risk of electric shock, do NOT use an extension cord to connect unit
to electric supply. Provide a properly located outlet. Qualified personnel MUST do all electrical wiring.
CAUTION
– All suction and discharge valves
MUST be OPEN
when starting the
filter system. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury and/or property damage.
All drains and suction covers MUST have properly installed covers securely attached with
the screws supplied with the covers. If screws are lost, order replacement parts from your
supplier.
DANGER – Suction Entrapment Hazard.
Never use the pool or spa if a drain cover is damaged,
cracked, missing, or not securely attached. Suction in drains and suction outlets can cause drowning,
disembowelment, hair or body entrapment, severe injury, and death. Disembowelment, entrapment, or
drowning is possible when body parts or hair come in contact with damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or
unsecured drain covers and suction outlets. Suction from pumps with only one drain or suction outlet can
cause disembowelment, entrapment, or drowning. Pumps for pools and spas require two (2) functioning
suction outlets at least three. (3) feet apart, on two (2) walls or on the floor and one (1) wall of the pool or
spa. Installation of pump and suction outlets must be in compliance with all applicable local building codes.
Replace damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured drain covers and suction outlets immediately.
WARNING – Hazardous Pressure.
Pumps, filters, and other equipment/components of a
swimming pool filtration system operate under pressure. Incorrectly installed and/or improperly tested
filtration equipment and/or components may fail resulting in injury and/or property damage. A qualified
pool professional MUST conduct all pressure tests.
This product is intended for above-ground/on-ground swimming pool applications only. Do NOT connect
to a high-pressure system such as a municipal water main. To prevent explosion caused by entrapped air
in the filtration system use provided air relief valve to bleed air from the system.
Confirm that ALL filtration system component clamps, bolts, and covers have been tightened to the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
WARNING
– Never operate or test the filtration system at more than 30 PSI.
