CHAPTER 1
:
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
▲WARNING Pay Attention to Children.
1. To reduce risk of injury, do not permit children to use
or climb on this product. Closely supervise children
at all times. Components such as the filtration
system, pumps, and heaters must be positioned to
prevent children from using them as a means of
access to the pool.
2. This pump is intended for use on permanently
installed swimming pools and may also be used with
hot tubs and spas if so marked. Do
NOT
use with
storable pools. A permanently installed pool is
constructed in or on the ground or in a building such
that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A
storable pool is constructed so that it is capable
of being readily disassembled for storage and
reassembled to its original integrity.
3. Though this product is designed for outdoor use, it is
strongly advised to protect the electrical components
from the weather. Select a well-drained area, one that
will not flood when it rains. It requires free circulation
of air for cooling. Do not install in a damp or non-
ventilated location.
4. Pool and spa components have an finite life. All
components should be inspected frequently and
replaced at least every five years, or if found to be
damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely
attached.
▲WARNING Risk of Electric Shock.
Applies to Inground Pumps
5. Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or cause
death. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do NOT
use an extension cord to connect unit to electric
supply. Provide a properly located outlet. It is
required that licensed electricians do all electrical
wiring. All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance
with applicable local and national codes and
regulations. Before working on pump or motor,
disconnect motor wiring.
6. To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace damaged
cord immediately. Do NOT bury cord. Locate cord to
prevent abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers
and other equipment.
7. Risk of Electric Shock. Connect only to a branch
circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter
(GFCI). Contact a professional electrician if you
cannot verify that the receptacles are protected by
a GFCI.
8. Failure to bond pump to pool structure will increase
risk for electrocution and could result in injury
or death. To reduce the risk of electric shock, see
installation instructions and consult a professional
electrician on how to bond pump. Also, contact a
licensed electrician for information on local electrical
codes for bonding requirements.
9. Use a solid copper conductor, size 8 or larger.
Run a continuous wire from external bonding lug to
reinforcing rod or mesh. Connect a No. 8 AWG
(8.4 mm
2
) solid copper bonding wire to the pressure
wire connector provided on the motor housing and
to all metal parts of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub,
and to all electrical equipment, metal piping (except
gas piping), and conduit within 5 feet (1.5m) of inside
walls of swimming pool, spa or hot tub.
IMPORTANT
: Reference NEC codes for all wiring
standards including, but not limited to, grounding,
bonding and other general wiring procedures.
NOTE
: The National Electrical Code (NEC) permits
use of a cord with a maximum 3 feet (1m) length. If
your pump is equipped with a cord complying with
the NEC, the preceding four hazards apply.
10. Do not install within an outer enclosure or beneath
the skirt of a hot tub or spa.
11.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
.
12. These pumps are not pool side pumps.
▲WARNING Suction Entrapment Hazard.
13. Suction in suction outlets and/or suction outlet
covers, which are damaged, broken, cracked,
missing, or unsecured, cause severe injury and/or
death due to the following entrapment hazards:
Hair Entrapment
: Hair can become entangled in
suction outlet cover.
Limb Entrapment
: A limb inserted into an opening
of a suction outlet sump or suction outlet cover that
is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not
securely attached can result in a mechanical bind
or swelling of the limb.
Body Suction Entrapment
: A pressure applied to
a large portion of the body or limbs can result in an
entrapment.
