IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
-
Read and follow all instructions
in this IOM manual and on the equipment. Failure to follow
instructions can cause severe injury and/or death
.
WARNING
– Suction Entrapment Hazard.
Suction in suction outlets and/or suction outlet covers which are, damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured can cause severe injury
and/or death due to the following entrapment hazards:
Hair Entrapment
- Hair can become entangled in suction outlet cover.
Limb Entrapment
- A limb inserted into an opening of a suction outlet sump or suction outlet cover that is damaged, broken, cracked,
missing, or not securely attached can result in a mechanical bind or swelling of the limb.
Body Suction Entrapment
- A negative pressure applied to a large portion of the body or limbs can result in an entrapment.
Evisceration/ Disembowelment
- A negative pressure applied directly to the intestines through an unprotected suction outlet sump or
suction outlet cover which is, damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured can result in evisceration/ disembowelment.
Mechanical Entrapment
- There is potential for jewelry, swimsuit, hair decorations, finger, toe or knuckle to be caught in an opening of a
suction outlet cover resulting in mechanical entrapment.
WARNING
-
To Reduce the risk of Entrapment Hazards:
o
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’) [1 meter] apart, as
measured from near point to near point.
o
Dual suction fittings shall be placed in such locations and distances to avoid “dual blockage” by a user.
o
Dual suction fittings shall not be located on seating areas or on the backrest for such seating areas.
o
The maximum system flow rate shall not exceed the flow rating of as listed on Table 1.
o
Never use system if any suction outlet component is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached.
o
Replace damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached suction outlet components immediately.
o
In addition two or more suction outlets per pump installed in accordance with latest ASME, APSP Standards and CPSC
guidelines, follow all National, State, and Local codes applicable.
o
Installation of a vacuum release or vent system, which relieves entrapping suction, is recommended.
WARNING
–
Failure to remove pressure test plugs and/or plugs used in winterization of the system from the
suction outlets can result in an increase potential for suction entrapment as described above.
WARNING
– Failure to keep suction outlet components clear of debris, such as leaves, dirt, hair, paper and
other material can result in an increase potential for suction entrapment as described above.
WARNING
– Suction outlet components have a finite life, the cover/grate should be inspected frequently and
replaced at least every ten years or if found to be damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached.
CAUTION
– Components such as the filtration system, pumps and heater must be positioned so as to prevent
their being used as means of access to the system by unauthorized or unqualified individuals.
WARNING
– Never operate or test the circulation system at more than 50 PSI.
WARNING
– Never change the filter control valve position while the pump is running.
Basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: Failure to follow instructions can cause
severe injury and/or death.
