Evisceration/Disembowelment
: A negative
pressure applied directly to the intestines through
an unprotected suction outlet sump or suction outlet
cover which is damaged, broken, cracked,
missing, or unsecured can result in evisceration/
disembowelment.
Mechanical Entrapment
: There is potential for
jewelry, swimsuits, hair decorations, fingers, toes,
or knuckles to be caught in an opening of a suction
outlet cover resulting in mechanical entrapment.
▲
WARNING
Reduce Risk of Entrapment Hazards.
14. When outlets are small enough to be blocked by a
person, a minimum of two functioning suction
outlets per pump must be installed. Suction outlets
in the same plane (floor or wall), must be installed
a minimum of 3 feet [0.91 meter] apart, as measured
from near point to near point.
• Dual suction fittings shall be placed in such
locations and distances to avoid ‘dual blockage’ by
a user.
• Dual suction fittings shall not be located on seating
areas or on the backrest for such seating areas.
• The maximum system flow rate shall not exceed
the values shown in the ‘Pipe Sizing Chart’ found
at this manual.
• Never use pool or spa if any suction outlet
component is damaged, broken, cracked, missing,
or not securely attached.
• Replace damaged, broken, cracked, missing,
or not securely attached suction outlet components
immediately.
• Installation of a vacuum release or vent system,
recommended, relieves entrapping suction.
▲WARNING Hazardous Pressure.
15. 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 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.
16. 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 locked position in filter
upper body. 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.
17. Never operate or test the circulation system at
more than 40 psi.
▲WARNING Fire and burn hazard.
18. 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.
19. Motor must be grounded in accordance with local
and national electrical codes.
20. To prevent electrical shock or injury, do not run
pump dry.
21. To reduce the risk of electric shock, install at least
10 feet from the inside walls of the pool. Do not use
an extension cord.
CHAPTER 2
: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
▲WARNING
This product should be installed and
serviced only by a qualified professional.
1.
Pump Mounting
: Install pump on a firm, level base
or pad to meet all local and national codes. Fasten
pump to base or pad with screws or bolts to further
reduce vibration and stress on pipe or hose joints.
The base MUST be solid, level, rigid, and vibration free.
Pump Mount Must
:
• Allow pump inlet height to be as close to water
level as possible.
• Allow use of short, direct suction pipe (to reduce
friction losses).
• Allow for gate valves in suction and discharge
piping.
• Be protected from excess moisture and flooding.
