- In addition to two or more suction outlets per pump installed in accordance with latest IAF (formerly NSPI)
standards and CPSC guidelines, follow all national, state, and local codes applicable.
- Installation of a vacuum release or vent system, which relieves entrapping suction, is recommended.
WARNING
–
Hazardous Pressure.
Pool and spa water circulation systems operate under hazardous pressure during start-up, normal operation, and
after pump shut-off. Stand clear of circulation system equipment during pump start-up. Failure to follow safety and
operation instructions could result in violent separation of the pump housing and cover due to pressure in the
system, which could cause property damage, severe personal injury, or death. Before servicing pool and spa water
circulation system, all system and pump controls must be in off position and filter manual air relief valve if part of
the filtration system must be in open position. Before starting system pump, all system valves must be set in a
position to allow system water to return back to the pool. Do not change filter control valve position while system
pump is running. Before starting system pump, fully open filter manual air relief valve. Do not close filter manual
air relief valve until a steady stream of water (not air or air and water) is discharged. All suction and discharge
valves
MUST
be
OPEN
when starting the circulation system.
Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury and/or property damage.
WARNING
–
Separation Hazard.
Failure to follow safety and operation instructions could result in violent separation of pump components. Strainer
cover must be properly secured to pump housing with strainer cover lock ring. Before servicing pool and spa
circulation system, all system and pump controls must be in off position and filter manual air relief valve must be
in open position. Do not operate pool and spa circulation system if a system component is not assembled properly,
damaged, or missing. Do not operate pool and spa circulation system unless filter air relief valve body is in closed
position. All suction and discharge valves
MUST
be
OPEN
when starting the circulation system.
Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury and/or property damage.
WARNING
–
Never operate or test the circulation system at more than 40 PSI.
WARNING
–
Fire and burn hazard.
Motors operate at high temperatures and if they are not properly isolated from any flammable structures or foreign
debris they can cause fires, which may cause severe personal injury or death. It is also necessary
to allow the motor to cool for at least 20 minutes prior to maintenance to minimize the risk for burns.
WARNING
–
Failure to install according to defined instructions may result in severe personal injury or
death.
