  SAFETY  INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always 

be followed, including the following:

READ AND FOLLOW ALL

 INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - 

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY -

 

do not permit children to 

use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.

WARNING - 

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK -

 Connect only to a grounding type 

receptacle. This product is provided with a ground-fault circuit-interrupter. If replacement of 

the plug is needed, use only identical replacement parts.

WARNING - 

The unit is provided with a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). 

To test the GFCI,push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset 

button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is 

defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the pump without the test button being pushed, a 

ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this 

pump. Disconnect the pump and have the problem corrected by a qualified service 

representative before using.

CAUTION - 

To reduce the risk of electric shock the pool must be installed no 

closer than 6 feet (1.8 m) from any electrical outlet. Do not place portable appliances closer 

than 5 feet (1.5 m) from the pool.

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, replace damaged cord 

immediately.

WARNING - 

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use extension cord to 

connect unit to electric supply; provide a properly located outlet.

CAUTION: 

This pump is for use with storable pools only. Do not use with 

permanently-installed pools. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being 

readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity. A 

permanently-installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it 

cannot be readily disassembled for storage. Please examine and verify all sand filter 

components are present before use. Notify Bestway at the customer service address listed 

on this manual for any damaged or missing parts at the time of purchase.
