FAILURE TO HEED THESE WARNINGS CAN RESULT IN PERMANENT INJURY, PARALYSIS FROM
A BROKEN NECK, ELECTROCUTION OR DROWNING. THIS POOL IS NOT DESIGNED FOR DIVING
OR JUMPING! DANGEROUS INJURY CAN RESULT, SHALLOW WATER!
Your pool contains a large quantity of water, and is deep enough to present inherent dangers to life and health unless the
follow¬ing safety rules are strictly observed. First-time users run the highest risk of injury. Make sure everyone under-
stands. To insure your pool is used safely you must observe the following safety precautions:
1. NO JUMPING OR DIVING
The top rail of your pool is not a walkway and must not be used for jump-
ing or diving. Do not permit jumping or diving into the pool from a deck or
the top rail of the pool. Diving or jumping into the pool can result in serious
injury.
2. NEVER USE THE POOL ALONE
Never permit the pool to be used unless it is attended by at least one
person other than the bather. Someone should always be available to lend
assistance in an emergency.
3. NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN UNATTENDED
Never leave a child alone and unsupervised in or near the pool—not even
for a second. There is no substitute for constant adult supervision.
4. NO ROUGH PLAY
Do not permit “rough-playin” in and around your pool. Surfaces can become
slippery and hazardous when wet.
5. LIGHT THE POOL AT NIGHT
If the pool is used after dusk, adequate lighting must be provided. Illumina-
tion in the pool area must be sufficient to clearly judge pool depth and all
features in and around the pool. For light¬ing recommendations, consult
your local licensed electrical contractor
6. RESTRICT ACCESS TO THE POOL
Do not leave chairs or other furniture beside the pool that could be used by
a child to climb up into the pool. Ladders must be removed whenever the
pool is unattended. A fence with a lockable gate around the pool or yard is
strongly recommended and may be required by law in some jurisdictions.
7. NO ALCOHOL OR DRUGS
Never drink alcoholic beverages or use any intoxicants which could hinder
your judgment and reflexes.
8. KEEP YOUR POOL CLEAN AND SANITARY
Your filter system will remove suspended particles from the water and the
surface skimmer will remove insects, leaves and other debris from the wa-
ter surface. Use the correct pool chemicals as directed to destroy harmful
bacteria and prevent formation of algae. Remember, unsanitary water is a
serious health hazard.
9. KEEP OFF TOP LEDGES
Do not walk on top ledges. They can be slippery and they are not a walk-
way.
10. POOL COVER SAFETY
The cover must have a tamperproof locking retainer cable that positions
the cover around the pool wall and keeps it securely in place. Never allow
anyone, especially small children on the cover. Asphyxiation or drowning
could result. When purchasing any pool cover, please consult a swimming
pool professional.
11. ELECTRICAL HAZARD
Never touch or attempt to service electrical equipment, including the filter
when your body and/ or the ground is wet. Electrocution or permanent
injury due to high voltage (120V AC) could result. The pool should be
bonded in accordance with Section 680-26 of the National Electical Code.
For further assistance contact your dealer or a local licensed electrician.
Do not use pool during electrical or rain storms.
12. SAFETY ROPE & POLE
Keep a safety rope 1/4” by 50” with a flotation buoy with an outside
diamter of 15”. Have ac¬cessible in a prominent area by your pool. Keep a
pole not less that 16 feet (4,88m) long with a blunt or hook end available
at pool side in case of emergencies.
13. POOL CHEMICALS
Do not place chlorine, chlorine tablets or sticks directly into skimmer, or
winterize your pool with liquid chlorine. Damage to the skimmer, pool liner
and filter will result. Failure to obey this in¬struction will void all compo -
nent warranties. Always follow Chemical Manufacturer’s insturctions when
storing, handling and dispensing pool chemicals.
14. CHECK FOR DAMAGE
Periodically check your pool and ladder components for damage and wear.
Be sure all screws are in place. Replace all damaged or worn components
and tighten all screws before you use the pool, deck or ladders. At first
sign remove rust and touch up immediately.
15. POOL PARTS
Never modify the pool or accessories, or remove or drill holes in the pool,
deck or ladder com¬ponents unless instructed. Your pool wall is made of
thin metal, there is an inherent cut hazard with metal so use gloves during
installation. Always use Original Equipment Manufactured parts
