：
Risk of suction entrapment.
Always turn off
all power to the pool pump before installing the cover or
working on any suction outlet.
This pump produces high levels of suction and creates a
strong vacuum at the main drain at the bottom of your pool or
spa. This suction is so strong that it can trap adults or
children under water if they come in close proximity to a pool
or spa drain or a loose or broken drain cover or grate.
Stay off the main drain and away from all suction outlets!
：
Risk of hazardous pressure.
Stand clear of
pump and filter during start-up. Pool and spa circulation
systems operate under high pressure. When any part of the
circulating system (i.e. locking ring, pump, filter, valves,
etc.) is serviced, air can enter the system and become
pressurized.

Pressurized air can cause the pump housing cover filter
lid and valves to violently separate which can result in
severe personal injury or death.

Filter tank lid and strainer cover must be properly
secured to prevent violent separation.

Stand clear of all circulation system equipment when
turning on or starting up pump.

Before servicing pool and spa equipment, make note of
the filter pressure. Be sure that all controls are set to
ensure the system cannot inadvertently start during
service. Turn off all power to the pump.

Place filter manual air relief valve in the open position
and wait for all pressure in the system to be relieved.

Before starting the system, fully open the manual air
relief valve and place all system valves in the “open”
position to allow water to flow freely from the pool and
spa back to the pool or spa. Stand clear of all pool and
spa equipment and start the pump.

Do not close filter manual air relief valve until all
pressure has been discharged from the valve and a
steady stream of water appears. Observe filter pressure
gauge and be sure it is not higher than the pre-service
condition.
：
Risk of suction entrapment. The use of
unapproved covers or allowing use of the pool or spa when
covers are missing, cracked or broken can result in body or
limb entrapment, hair entanglement, body entrapment,
evisceration and/or death.

Limb Entrapment: When a limb is sucked or inserted
into an opening resulting in a mechanical bind or
swelling. This hazard is present when a drain cover is
missing, broken, loose, cracked or not properly secured.

Hair Entanglement:
When the hair tangles or knots in
the drain cover, trapping the swimmer underwater. This
hazard is present when the flow rating of the cover is too
small for the pump or pumps.

Body Entrapment:
When a portion of the body is held
against the drain cover trapping the swimmer
underwater. This hazard is present when the drain cover
is missing, broken or the cover flow rating is not high
enough for the pump or pumps.

Evisceration/Disembowelment:
When a person sits on
an open pool (particularly a child wading pool) or spa
outlet and suction is applied directly to the intestines,
causing severe intestinal damage. This hazard is present
when the drain cover is missing, loose, cracked, or not
properly secured.

Mechanical Entrapment:
When jewelry, swimsuit, hair
decorations, finger, toe or knuckle is caught in an
opening of an outlet or drain cover. This hazard is present
when the drain cover is missing, broken, loose, cracked,
or not properly secured.
NOTICE: All suction plumbing must be installed in
accordance with the latest national and local codes for
swimming pools, spas and hot tubs, including NSPI
standards and CPSC guidelines.
ALWAYS disconnect the power to the pump
before servicing.
：
Risk of harm.
A clearly labeled emergency
shut-off switch for the pool pump and spa jet pump must
be in an easily accessible, obvious place near the pool or
spa. Make sure bathers know where it is and how to use it in
case of emergency.
：
Risk of harm.
To reduce the risk of injury, do
not permit children to use this product unless they are
closely supervised at all times.
：
Risk of hazardous pressure. Pool and spa
circulation systems operate under high pressure.
Incorrectly installed or tested equipment may fail, causing
severe injury or property damage. Read and follow
instructions in owner’s manual when installing and
operating equipment. Have a trained pool professional
perform all pressure tests.

Do not connect system to a high pressure or city water
system.

Use equipment only in a pool or spa installation.

Trapped air in system can cause explosion. BE SURE all
air is out of system before operating or testing
equipment. See hazardous pressure warning below. Do
not use compressed air to clean, test, or purge
equipment for winter.
：
Risk of electric shock
. Can shock, burn or kill.
Connect only to a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault
circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if
you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI. This
unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is
protected by a ground fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a
GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested
on a routine basis. 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.
