SECTION I.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following.

1. This light can be installed on storable above ground or permanent above ground pools.

2. A storable pool has a maximum water depth of 42 inches and is so constructed that it may be

readily disassembled for storage and re-assembled to its original integrity.

3. A permanent pool has a maximum water depth over 42 inches. Do not install on therapeutic pools,

hydro-massage bathtubs, spas or hot tubs.

4. To reduce the risk of electric shock, if any cord becomes damaged, return the entire transformer

assembly for repair or replacement.

5. Risk of entrapment, injury or death. Use plumbing passageways only to return water to pool. Do

not use as a suction device.

6. Risk of electrical shock. Connect only to a grounding type circuit protected by a ground fault

circuit interrupter (GFCI). Contact a licensed electrician if you cannot verify that the receptacle or
circuit is protected by a GFCI. Do not use an extension cord.

7. Locate your pool so that the wall is at least 10 feet from all electrical receptacles and at least

20 feet from all receptacles not protected by a GFCI. It is also very important to locate the pool so
that it is not under any electrical wiring, that is less than 18 feet vertically above the pool wall and
within an area located 10 feet outside the pool walls. The pool must also never be located under
any lighting fixture or within five (5) feet measured horizontally from any fixture mounted less
than five (5) feet vertically above the pool water level.

8. Risk of injury. Install the top of the lens with a minimum of 8 inches and a maximum of 10 inches

below top of pool wall or in manufacturers pre-punched return fitting hole.

9. Do not use electrical equipment within 10 feet of pool wall unless specifically U.L. listed for that

use.

SECTION II.

LAMP HOUSING INSTALLATION

NOTE

Installation of the lamp housing into the pool wall is the same for both the storable and the permanent
above ground pools.

1. Remove the bulb retainer nut and push the bulb assembly out from the rear of the fitting body so

that it will come out of the front of the fitting. The flow director will come off along with the bulb
assembly; see Figure 1. Push the red cap/plug in the end of the bulb assembly. It will be removed
later.

2. Unscrew the threaded wall flange from the fitting body by rotating it counter-clockwise.
