WARNING
-
Read and follow all instructions
in this owner’s manual and on the equipment. Failure to
follow instructions can cause severe injury and/or death.
WARNING
– Suction Entrapment Hazard.
Suction in suction outlets and/or suction outlet covers which are, damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured can 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 negative pressure applied to a large portion of the body or limbs can result in an entrapment.
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, swimsuit, hair decorations, finger, toe or knuckle to be caught in an
opening of a suction outlet cover resulting in mechanical entrapment.
WARNING
- To Reduce the risk of Entrapment Hazards:
o
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 (i.e. floor or wall), must be installed a minimum of three feet (3’) [1 meter]
apart, as measured from near point to near point.
o
Dual suction fittings shall be placed in such locations and distances to avoid “dual blockage” by a user.
o
Dual suction fittings shall not be located on seating areas or on the backrest for such seating areas.
o
The maximum system flow rate shall not exceed the flow rating of as listed on Table 1.
o
Never use Pool or Spa if any suction outlet component is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached.
o
Replace damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached suction outlet components immediately.
o
In addition two or more suction outlets per pump installed in accordance with latest ASME, APSP Standards and CPSC
guidelines, follow all National, State, and Local codes applicable.
o
Installation of a vacuum release or vent system, which relieves entrapping suction, is recommended.
WARNING
–
Failure to remove pressure test plugs and/or plugs used in winterization of the pool/spa from the
suction outlets can result in an increase potential for suction entrapment as described above.
WARNING
–
Failure to keep suction outlet components clear of debris, such as leaves, dirt, hair, paper and other
material can result in an increase potential for suction entrapment as described above.
WARNING
–
Suction outlet components have a finite life, the cover/grate should be inspected frequently and
replaced at least every SEVEN years or if found to be damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached.
CAUTION
–
Components such as the filtration system, pumps and heater must be positioned so as to prevent their
being used as means of access to the pool by young children. 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.
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, and/or filter housing
and clamp 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.
WARNING
– Separation Hazard.
Failure to follow safety and operation instructions could result in violent separation of
pump and/or filter components. Strainer cover must be properly secured to pump housing with strainer cover lock ring. Before
servicing pool and spa circulation system, filters 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 manual air relief valve body is in locked position in filter upper body. Never operate or test the circulation
system at more than 50 PSI. Do not purge the system with compressed air. Purging the system with compressed air can cause
components to explode, with risk of severe injury or death to anyone nearby. Use only a low pressure (below 5 PSI), high volume
blower when air purging the pump, filter, or piping. Use ONLY Hayward clamp system components: DEX2421JKIT clamp assembly,
DEX2421J2 nut/bolt assembly, and a DEX2422Z2 metal reinforced seal. Non-Hayward components may fail in use and cause
explosive separation.
Never rely on hand tightening the clamp nut to the clamp bolt. Using a ¾” socket on a torque wrench, torque clamp nut and clamp
bolt to 150 inch-lbs. Before starting system pump, insure filter manual air relief valve body is in LOCK position in filter upper body.
