RISK OF SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD, WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY
OR DEATH: STAY OFF THE MAIN DRAINANDAWAY FROMALL SUCTION OUTLETS!
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:
Hair Entanglement:
Hair can be entangled in suction outlet cover.
Body Suction Entrapment:
A differential pressure applied to a large portion of the body or limbs can reuslt in an
entrapment.
Disembowelment
: A negative pressure applied directly to the intestines through an unprotected suction outlet
sump or suction outlet cover which is damaged, broken, cracked, or unsecured can result in disembowelment.
Mechanical Entrapment:
When jewelry, hair decorations, finger, toe or knuckle are sucked into an opening of an
outlet or drain cover. This hazard occurs when the drain cover is missing, broken, loose, cracked, or not properly
secured.
In order to reduce the risk of injury caused by the danger of suction ENTRAPMENT HAZARD:
Each suction cover must be installed at least three (3’) feet apart, as measured from the nearest point to nearest
point.
Regularly inspect all covers for cracks, damage and advanced weathering.
Failure to keep suction outlet components clear of debris, such as leaves, dirt, hair, paper and other material can
result in an increased potential for suction entrapment.
Replace drain covers as necessary.
Installation of a vacuum release or vent system, which relieves entrapping suction, is recommended.
