WARNING
- Read and follow all instructions in this owner’s 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 dam-
aged, 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:
•
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.
•
Dual suction fittings shall be placed in such locations and distances to avoid “dual blockage” by a user.
•
Dual suction fittings shall not be located on seating areas or on the backrest for such seating areas.
•
The maximum system flow rate shall not exceed the flow rating of as listed on Table 1.
•
Never use Pool or Spa if any suction outlet component is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not
securely attached.
•
Replace damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached suction outlet components im-
mediately.
•
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.
•
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 pool/spa 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 pool by young children. 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.
WARNING – Hazardous Pressure:
Pool and spa water circulation systems operate under hazardous pressure
during start up, normal operation, and after pump shut off. Stand clear of circulation system equipment during
pump start up. Failure to follow safety and operation instructions could result in violent separation of the pump
housing and cover, and/or filter housing and clamp due to pressure in the system, which could cause property
damage, severe personal injury, or death. Before servicing pool and spa water circulation system, all system and
pump controls must be in off position and filter manual air relief valve must be in open position. Before starting
system pump, all system valves must be set in a position to allow system water to return back to the pool. Do
not change filter control valve position while system pump is running. Before starting system pump, fully open
filter manual air relief valve. Do not close filter manual air relief valve until a steady stream of water (not air or
air and water) is discharged.
