NOTICE
indicates special instructions which are
important but not related to hazards.
Carefully read and follow all safety instructions in this manual
and on pump.
Keep safety labels in good condition.
Replace missing or damaged safety labels.
WARNING. Severe personal injury or death could result from
improperly sizing the pump, or from using it for any purpose
other than as an in-ground pool pump.
Hazards may include,
but are not limited to, electrical shock, fire, flooding, suction
entrapment, or structural failure of the pump or other system
component.
WARNING. Pressure testing hazards.
• Do not allow people to work around components under test.
• Post appropriate warnings and barriers around pressurized
equipment.
• Test for the minimum time allowed by local codes.
• If the equipment is located in a separate room, close and lock
the door and post warning signs.
ELECTRICAL
This pump must be wired through a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) to protect the circuit. To reduce the risk of
electrical shock, connect the green terminal on the pump to the
grounding terminal of your electrical service or supply panel. Use
a conductor at least as large as the wires conducting power to the
pump. Refer to local or national codes for details.
Installations must comply with the National Electrical Code or the
Canadian Electrical Code, as applicable, and all applicable local
codes and ordinances.
California Proposition 65 Warning
This product and related accessories contain
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm
GENERAL
Pool main drain installation must comply with current local and
national building, electrical, plumbing and pool/spa codes, as
applicable.
Prime the pump (fill the pump and piping system with water)
before starting it for the first time. If you do not get satisfactory
circulation within 5 minutes, stop the pump and reprime it. Do
not allow the pump to run for an extended period of time with no
water moving. In these conditions, the pump may overheat and
start a fire or possibly explode.
WARNING. Explosion hazard, with risk of severe
injury or death.
Always stop the pump and relieve all
pressure in the system before adjusting or releasing
any fastenings. Make sure there is no air in the system (use the
air bleed valve on the pool filter to release any trapped air in the
system). NEVER adjust, loosen or tighten any lid clamps or bolts
while the system is pressurized.
WARNING. Risk of electrical shock – can burn or
kill.
Always disconnect power to the pump at the
circuit breaker before servicing or working on the
pump. Make sure that no one can connect the power
without your knowledge and consent.
WARNING. Fire and burn hazard.
Do not allow leaves
and debris to collect around the pump. Do not allow
children around the pump and filter areas. Allow the
pump motor to cool for 20 minutes before working
on it.
DANGER. Hazardous Suction. Can trap hair or body, causing
severe injury or death.
• Do not block circulation pump suction. MAKE SURE that all main
drains are correctly installed, with anti-entrapment covers,
listed to ASME A112.19.8, screw-fastened in place, and that
any vacuum outlets are protected by self-closing, self-latching
vacuum covers listed to IAPMO SPS-4 2000.
• Keep small children under close adult supervision around the
pool at all times.
• NEVER allow anyone (adult or child) to sit on a pool main drain.
• Very small children sometimes think that a main drain is really
a place to “go potty”. Don’t let them do this!
