a grounding type receptacle protected by a ground-fault circuit-inter-
rupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot
verify that the receptacle is protected by a GFCI.

(For cord & plug connected units)
Do
not bury cord.
Locate cord to minimize
abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and other equipment.
W ARNING!
(For cord & plug connected units) To
reduce the risk of electric shock, if the
cord is damaged, replace it immediately with the same type of cord
which is available from your local dealer. The new cord must be in-
stalled by a qualified electrician. Inspect the cord annually.

RISK OF SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD
WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJ URY OR DEATH.
Pumps can quickly generate high suction, which poses the risk of
entrapment if improperly connected to suction outlets.
Disembowelment, entrapment, or drowning is possible when body parts
or hair contact damaged, cracked, missing, or unsecured drain covers
and suction outlets.
Pumps and fittings shall be installed in accordance
with the latest NSPI or IAF standards, CPSC guidelines, and national,
state and local codes, to minimize this risk.
Some of these requirements
are as follows. Always consult the latest regulations to ensure that your
installation meets the necessary requirements to minimize suction
entrapment.
1.All fully submerged Suction Outlet Covers shall be listed to
ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 standard.
2.Do not use a pump in an installation where there is only one fully
submerged single suction outlet.
3.If main drains are installed in your pool, there must be a
minimum of two for each pumping system, and each drain must
include a Listed Suction Outlet Cover. Wading pools may have
additional requirements to minimize entrapment hazards.
4. Skimmers may supply 100% of the required flow to the pump,
and must be vented to atmosphere. A skimmer is not considered
a second main drain.
5. When two suction outlets are used, the maximum system flow
rate shall not exceed the rating of any one of the listed suction
outlet covers installed. When more than two are used, the sum
of the ratings shall be at least twice the maximum system flow
rate.
6. Each Suction Outlet Cover shall be separated by a minimum
of three feet (3’), measured from center of suction pipes.
7. Avoid installing check valves. If check valves must be used,
ensure that the installation conforms to applicable standards.
8. Never use the pool or spa if a Suction Outlet Cover is damaged,
cracked, missing, or not securely attached. Suction outlet cover
must be attached with stainless steel screws supplied with the
cover. If screws are lost, order replacement parts from your supplier.
