WARNING –
To Reduce the risk of Entrapment hazards:
– When outlets are small enough to be blocked by a person, a minimum of two functioning
suction outlets per pump must be installed. Suction outlets in the same plane (i.e. floor or
wall), must be installed a minimum of three feet (3’) [0.91 meter] apart, as measured from near point to near point.
– Dual suction fittings shall be placed in such locations and distances to avoid “dual blockage” by a user.
– Dual suction fittings shall not be located on seating areas or on the backrest for such seating areas.
– Never use pool or spa if any suction outlet component is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely
attached.
– Replace damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached suction outlet components immediately.
– In addition to two or more suction outlets per pump installed in accordance with latest IAF (formerly NSPI)
standards and CPSC guidelines, follow all national, state, and local codes applicable.
– Installation of a vacuum release or vent system, which relieves entrapping suction, is recommended.
WARNING –
hazardous pressure.
Pool and spa water circulation systems operate
under hazardous pressure during start-up, normal operation, and after pump shut-off. Stand
clear of circulation system equipment during pump start-up. Failure to follow safety and
operation instructions could result in violent separation of the pump housing and cover due to
pressure in the system, which could cause property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Before servicing pool and spa water circulation system, all system and pump controls must be in off position
and filter manual air relief valve must be in open position. Before starting system pump, all system valves
must be set in a position to allow system water to return back to the pool. Do not change filter control valve
position while system pump is running. Before starting system pump, fully open filter manual air relief valve.
Do not close filter manual air relief valve until a steady stream of water (not air or air and water mix) is
discharged from the valve. All suction and discharge valves MUST be OPEN when starting the circulation
system. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury and/or property damage.
WARNING –
Separation hazard.
Failure to follow safety and operation instructions
could result in violent separation of pump components. Strainer cover must be properly secured
to pump housing with strainer cover lock ring. Before servicing pool and spa circulation system,
all system and pump controls must be in off position and filter manual air relief valve must be in
open position. Do not operate pool and spa circulation system if a system component is not assembled properly,
damaged, or missing. Do not operate pool and spa circulation system unless filter air relief valve body is in locked
position in filter upper body. All suction and discharge valves MUST be OPEN when starting the circulation system.
Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury and/or property damage.
WARNING –
Never operate or test the circulation system at more than 50 PSI.
WARNING –
Fire and burn hazard. Motors operate at high temperatures and if they are not properly
isolated from any flammable structures or foreign debris they can cause fires, which may cause severe personal
injury or death. It is also necessary to allow the motor to cool for at least 20 minutes prior to maintenance to
minimize the risk for burns.
WARNING –
Failure to install according to defined instructions may result in severe personal
injury or death.
