DANGER
Safety Care for Children
1. Children, especially children younger than five years, are at high risk of drowning. Drowning occurs silently and quickly and can occur in as little as 2 in. (5 cm) of water.
2. Keep children in your direct sight, stay close, and actively supervise them when they are in or near this pool and when you are filling and emptying this pool.
3. When searching for a missing child, check the pool first, even if the child is thought to be in the house.
4. Locate pumps and filters in such a way that children cannot climb on them and gain access to the pool.
5. WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
Swimming Pool Barriers
Very Important: Swimming pool barriers, which restrict access to the pool by small children, may be required by law. A barrier is necessary to provide protection against
potential drowning and near drowning. Barriers are not a substitute for constant supervision of children. Check state or local laws and codes before setting up pool.
Swimming Pool Equipment
1. Keep all electrical lines, radios, speakers, and other electrical appliances away from the pool.
2. Do not place pool near or under overhead electrical lines.
Filter Pump Awareness
1. WARNING! Following the pool manufacturer’s instructions and install your pool properly before installing this filter pump.
2. WARNING! Adult assembly required.
3. WARNING! Before starting, check all pipes and accessories for correct installation and reliable connection.
4. WARNING! Do not bury the electric cords. Place the cords where lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and other equipment will not damage them.
5. WARNING! Do not use an extension cord to connect unit to electric supply.
6. WARNING! Prevent children from using the filter pump without an adult's supervision.
7. WARNING! Do not use the filter pump when pool is empty. This pump is designed only for dismount able storable pools above the ground, not for permanently
installed pools. Improper use may lead to overheating and permanent damage of the product.
8. WARNING! To avoid the risk of electric shock, always be aware of damaged cords.
WARNING
Please read carefully and keep for future reference
9. WARNING! The power cord of the transformer and the filter pump cannot be replaced. If the cord is damaged, the transformer and the filter pump should be disposed of.
10. WARNING! To avoid the risk of electric shock, connect the filter pump only to a receptacle protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) or Residual-current
device (RCD). The pump must be supplied through a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) or residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating
current not exceeding 30 mA. Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the receptacle is GFCI / RCD protected. Use a qualified electrician to install the
GFCI / RCD.
11. WARNING! This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
