WARNING
– Components (seals, gaskets, etc.) have a finite life. All components should be
inspected frequently and replaced at least every ten years, or if found to be damaged, broken, cracked,
missing, or not securely attached.
WARNING
–
Risk of Electric Shock.
All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with
applicable local codes, regulations, and the National Electric Code (NEC). Hazardous voltage can
shock, burn, and cause death or serious property damage. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do NOT
use an extension cord to connect unit to electric supply. Provide a properly located electrical receptacle.
Before working on pump or motor, turn off power supply to the pump.
WARNING
– To reduce the risk of electric shock replace damaged wiring immediately.
WARNING
–
Risk of Electric Shock.
In accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC),
connect only to a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Contact a
qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI. The unit must be
connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a
GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push
the test circuit button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should be
restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts
power to the pump without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the
possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this pump. Disconnect the pump and have the problem
corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
WARNING
– Failure to bond pump to the structure will increase risk for electrocution and could
result in injury or death. To reduce the risk of electric shock, see installation instructions and consult a
professional electrician on how to bond pump. Also, contact a licensed electrician for information on
local electrical codes for bonding requirements.
Notes to electrician:
Use a solid copper conductor, size 8 or larger. Run a continuous wire from
external bonding lug to reinforcing rod or mesh. Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm
2
) [No. 6 AWG (13.3
mm
2
) for Canada] solid copper bonding wire to the pressure wire connector provided on the pump
housing and to all metal parts of the structure, and to all electrical equipment, metal piping (except gas
piping), and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of the structure(s). IMPORTANT - Reference
NEC codes for all wiring standards including, but not limited to, grounding, bonding and other general
wiring procedures.
WARNING
–
Suction Entrapment Hazard.
Suction in suction outlets and/or suction outlet
covers, which are damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured cause severe injury and/or death due
to the following entrapment hazards.
USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS
