SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
To reduce risk of injury, do not permit children to use or climb on this product. Closely
supervise children at all times. Components such as the filtration system, pumps, and heaters must be
positioned to prevent children from using them as a means of access to the pool.
CAUTION:
This pump is designed for use with storable pools. A storable pool is constructed so that
it is capable of being readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.
Though this product is designed for outdoor use, it is strongly advised to protect the electrical
components from the weather. Select a well-drained area, one that will not flood when it rains. It
requires free circulation of air for cooling. Do not install in a damp or unventilated location. If installed
within an outer enclosure adequate ventilation and free circulation of air must be provided to prevent
overheating of the motor.
WARNING:
Pool components have a finite life. All components should be inspected frequently and
replaced if found to be damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached.
WARNING – RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or cause death. To
reduce the risk of electric shock, do NOT use an extension cord to connect unit to electric supply.
Provide a properly located outlet. It is required that licensed electricians do all electrical wiring. All
electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with applicable local and national codes and regulations.
Before working on pump or motor, disconnect motor wiring.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock replace damaged cord immediately.
DO NOT
bury cord. Locate cord to prevent accidental damage from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and
other equipment.
WARNING:
Connect only to a grounding type receptacle protected by a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI).
Contact a licensed electrician if you cannot verify that the receptacle is protected by a GFCI.
If there is no GFCI one MUST be installed by a licensed electrician.
WARNING:
Contact a licensed electrician for information on local electrical codes for
bonding requirements.
