WARNING
In order to reduce the risk of injury, do
not permit children to use this product.
To reduce the risk of property damage
or injury, do not attempt to change the
backwash (multiport, slide, or full flow)
valve position with the pump running.
Polaris pumps are powered by a high
voltage electric motor and must be
installed by a licensed or certified
electrician or a qualified swimming pool
service technician.
WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE,
PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH
.
Connect only to a branch circuit that is
protected by a ground-fault circuit-in-
terrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified
electrician if you cannot verify that the
circuit is protected by a GFCI. Make
sure 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
electrical shock. Do not use the pump.
Disconnect the pump and have the
problem corrected by a qualified ser
-
vice representative before using.
Due to the potential risk of fire, electric
shock, or injuries to persons, Polaris
Pumps must be installed in accordance
with the National Electrical Code
®
(NEC
®
), all local electrical and safety
codes, and the Occupational Safety
and Health Act (OSHA
®
). Copies of
the NEC may be ordered from the
National Fire Protection Association
®
(NFPA
®
) online at www.nfpa.org or call
617-770-3000, or contact your local
government inspection agency.
Incorrectly installed equipment may
fail, causing severe injury or property
damage.
WARNING
• Do not connect the system to an
unregulated city water system or other
external source of pressurized water pro-
ducing pressures greater than 35 PSI.
• Incorrectly installed equipment may
fail, causing severe injury or property
damage.
• Trapped air in system can cause the
filter lid to be blown off, which can result
in death, serious personal injury, or
property damage. Be sure all air is out of
the system before operating.
To minimize the risk of severe injury
or death, the filter and/or pump should
not be subjected to the piping system
pressurization test.
Local codes may require the pool
piping system to be subjected to a
pressure test. These requirements
are generally not intended to apply to
the pool equipment such as filters or
pumps.
Polaris pool equipment is pressure
tested at the factory.
However, if the WARNING cannot be
followed and pressure testing of the
piping system must include the filter
and/or pump, BE SURE TO COMPLY
WITH THE FOLLOWING SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS:
Check all clamps, bolts, lids, lock rings
and system accessories to ensure
they are properly installed and secured
before testing.
RELEASE ALL AIR in the system
before testing.
Water pressure for test must NOT
EXCEED 35 PSI.
Water temperature for test must NOT
EXCEED 100°F (38°C).
Limit test to 24 hours. After test, visually
check system to be sure it is ready for
operation.
NOTICE:
These parameters apply to
Polaris equipment only. For non-Po-
laris equipment, consult equipment
manufacturer.
Chemical spills and fumes can weaken
pool/spa equipment. Corrosion can
cause filters and other equipment to
fail, resulting in severe injury or proper-
ty damage. Do not store pool chemicals
near your equipment.
