IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(continued)
WARNING — Water temperature in excess of 100° Fahrenheit may be hazardous to your health. Prolonged
immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal
temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above normal body temperature
of 98.6° F. (37° C.). The symptoms of hyperthermia include: drowsiness, lethargy, dizziness,
fainting, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body.
The effects of hyperthermia include: 1) Unawareness of impending danger. 2) Failure to
perceive heat. 3) Failure to recognize the need to leave the spa. 4) Physical inability to exit the
spa. 5) Fetal damage in pregnant women. 6) Unconsciousness resulting in danger of drowning.
WARNING — The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal
hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
WARNING — To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely
supervised at all times.
WARNING — For units intended for use in other than single-family dwellings, a clearly labeled emergency
switch shall be provided as part of the installation. The switch shall be readily accessible to the
occupants and shall be installed at least 5 feet (1.52 m) away, adjacent to, and within sight of
the unit.
WARNING — When setting up pool water turnovers or flow rates the operator must consider local codes
governing turnover as well as disinfectant feed ratios.
WARNING — Before servicing the system, switch the main power OFF and remove the communication cable
from the pump.
CAUTION — Install the pump a minimum of 5 feet (1.5 m) from the inside wall of the pool and spa.
CAUTION — A No. 8 AWG or larger conductor must be wired to the motor bonding lug.
CAUTION — This pump is for use with permanently installed 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 may be readily disassembled for storage and reassembled
to its original integrity and has a maximum dimension of 18 feet (5.49m) and a maximum wall
height of 42 inches (1.07m).
CAUTION — For hot tubs and spa pumps, do not install within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt of a
hot tub or spa unless so marked.
CAUTION — IntelliFlo
