IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

Specified by ITS Testing Services for Swimming Pools and Spas 

1.

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

2.

WARNING  -  To  reduce  the  risk  of  injury,  do  not  permit  children  to  use  this  product  unless  they  are  closely

supervised at all times.

3.

A wire connector is provided on this unit to connect a minimum No. 8 AWG solid copper conductor between

this unit and any metal equipment, metal enclosures or electrical equipment, metal water pipe or conduit within 5
feet of this unit.

4.

DANGER - Risk of injury.

a) Replace damaged cord immediately.
b) Do not bury cord.
c) Connect to a grounded, grounding type receptacle only.

5.

WARNING - This product must be connected to a power source equipped with a ground-fault circuit interrupter

(GFCI).    The  GFCI  must  be  tested  before  each  use.    With  the  product  operating,  open  the  service  door.    If  the
product stops operating, this merely indicates that the door is equipped with an electrical interlock.  Next, push the
test button on the GFCI and close the service door.  The product should not operate.  Now open the service door,
push the reset button on the GFCI and close the service door.  The product should now operate normally.  If the
product  fails  to  operate  in  this  manner,  there  is  a  ground  current  flowing  indicating  the  possibility  of  an  electric
shock.  Disconnect the power until the fault has been identified and corrected.

6.

DANGER - Risk of electric shock.  Install at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from inside wall of any open body of water.

7.

DANGER - Risk of electric shock.  Do not permit any electric appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio, or

television, within 5 feet (1.5 m) of an open body of water.

8.
