Important Safety Instructions
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely
supervised at all times.
WARNING:
Risk of Electrical Shock. Connect only to a grounding type receptacle protected by a ground-
fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the receptacle is
protected by a GFCI.
The unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter
(GFCI). 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 an
electric shock. Do not use this pump. Disconnect the pump and have the problem corrected by a qualified
service representative before using.
CAUTION:
This pump is for use with permanently installed pools and may also be used with hot tubs
and spas if so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently installed pool is constructed in or
on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool is
constructed so that it may be readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK,
connect ground wires to grounding screw located in
the motor. Use no smaller than a #12 AWG (3.3mm2) wire.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK,
a bonding connector is provided for bonding to
metal water pipes, metal rails, or other metal within 5 feet of the swimming pool. All local points should be
bonded with a #8 AWG (8.4mm2) wire.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
