IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When installing and using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
2.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit
children to use this product unless they are closely super-
vised at all times.
3.
Risk of electrical shock. Connect only to a
grounding type receptacle protected by a ground-fault cir-
cuit-interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you
cannot verify that the receptacle is protected by a GFCI.
4. Do not bury cord. Locate cord to minimize abuse from
lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and other equipment.
5.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
replace a damaged cord immediately.
6.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do
not use an extension cord to connect unit to electrical sup-
ply; provide a properly located outlet.
7.
Permanent pool pumps are for use with per-
manently 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 dis-
assembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that
it may be readily disassembled for storage and reassembled
to its original integrity.
8.
Storable pool pumps are for use with
storable pools only. Do not use with permanently installed
pools. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable
of being readily disassembled for storage and reassembled
to its original integrity. A permanently installed pool is
constructed in or on the ground, or in a building, such that
it cannot be readily disassembled for storage.
