IMPORTANT PUMP WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety
precautions should always be followed, include the following:
FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND
WARNINGS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY
INJURY OR DEATH.
THIS PUMP SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED
ONLY BY A QUALIFIED POOL SERVICE PROFESSIONAL. INSTALLERS,
POOL OPERATORS AND OWNERS MUST READ THESE WARNINGS AND
ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THE OWNER’S MANUAL BEFORE USING THIS
PUMP. THESE WARNINGS AND THE OWNER’S MANUAL MUST BE LEFT
WITH THE POOL OWNER.
Do not permit children to use this product.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
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.
This pump is for use with permanent 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.
General Warnings
• Never open the inside of the drive motor enclosure. There is a capacitor
bank that holds a 230 VAC charge even when there is no power to the
unit.
• The pump is not submersible.
• The pump is capable of high flow rates; use caution when installing and
programming to limit pumps performance potential with old or questionable
equipment.
• Code requirements for electrical connection differ from country to
country, state to state, as well as local municipalities. Install equipment
in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local
codes and ordinances.
• Before servicing the pump; switch OFF power to the pump by disconnecting
the main circuit to the pump.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) of
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD: STAY OFF
THE MAIN DRAIN AND AWAY FROM ALL SUCTION
OUTLETS!
THIS PUMP IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH SAFETY VACUUM
RELEASE SYSTEM (SVRS) PROTECTION AND DOES NOT PROTECT
AGAINST BODY OR LIMB ENTRAPMENTS, DISEMBOWELMENTS (WHEN
A PERSON SITS ON A BROKEN OR UNCOVERED POOL DRAIN) OR HAIR
ENTANGLEMENTS.
THIS PUMP PRODUCES HIGH LEVELS OF SUCTION AND CREATES A
STRONG VACUUM AT THE MAIN DRAIN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BODY
OF WATER. THIS SUCTION IS SO STRONG THAT IT CAN TRAP ADULTS
OR CHILDREN UNDER WATER IF THEY COME IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO
A DRAIN OR A LOOSE OR BROKEN DRAIN COVER OR GRATE.
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.
The suction at a drain or outlet can cause:
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.
NOTE: ALL SUCTION PLUMBING MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LATEST NATIONAL AND LOCAL CODES, STANDARDS AND
GUIDELINES.
