ABOVE GROUND POOL SAFETY

PLEASE READ BEFORE INSTALLATION

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 

FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 
Read and follow all safety instructions packaged with pool, ladder, deck or any other accessory. Additional pool safety publications can be 
obtained by contacting: The Association of Pool & Spa Professionals (www.apsp.org) 

Important notice read before installation! 

The safety stickers must be installed as per following instructions. Failure to properly install warning labels will void warranty. Failure 
to mount these safety labels may subject you to substantial liability in case of injury. These warning are not to be removed under any 

circumstances! If they become discolored or fall off please request replacements which will be sent at no charge.
