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’)
[0.91 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 values shown in the “Pipe Sizing Chart” found in section 4.3
below.
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 immediately.
In addition to two or more suction outlets per pump installed in accordance with latest 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
–
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 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 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 pump is running. Before starting 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 mix) is discharged from the valve. All suction and discharge valves MUST be OPEN when starting the
circulation system. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury and/or property damage.
WARNING
–
Separation Hazard.
Failure to follow safety and operation instructions could result in violent
separation of pump components. Strainer cover must be properly secured to pump housing with strainer cover lock ring.
Before servicing pool and spa circulation system, all system and pump controls must be in off position and filter manual air
relief valve must be in open position. Do not operate pool and spa circulation system if a system component is not
assembled properly, damaged, or missing. Do not operate pool and spa circulation system unless filter manual air relief
valve body is in locked position in filter upper body. All suction and discharge valves MUST be OPEN when starting the
circulation system. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury and/or property damage.
WARNING
– Never operate the circulation system at more than 50 PSI maximum.
WARNING
–
Fire and burn hazard.
Motors operate at high temperatures and if they are not properly
isolated from any flammable structures or foreign debris they can cause fires, which may cause severe personal injury or
death. It is also necessary to allow the motor to cool for at least 20 minutes prior to maintenance to minimize the risk for
burns.
WARNING
– Failure to install according to defined instructions may result in severe personal injury or death.
