VGB Suction Safety &
Maintenance Instructions
VGB 2008:
WARNING
Read and follow all instructions in this manual and on the suction fitting. Failure to follow
instructions can cause severe injury and/or death.
Failure to remove pressure test plugs and/or plugs used in winterization of the spa/swim
spa from the suction outlets can result in an increased potential for suction entrapment as
described on the previous page.
Suction outlet components have a finite life. The cover/grate should be inspected frequent-
ly and replaced at least every seven years, or if found to be damaged, broken, cracked,
missing, or not securely attached.
If the fitting is missing or broken, replace with a fitting of equivalent rating or higher. Use
of a lower rated suction fitting could result in entrapment of the body which could result
in serious injury including drowning.
Do not use or operate spa/swim spa if this suction fitting is missing, broken or not secured
per instructions. The suction fitting is intended to prevent entrapment of the body. Use of
the spa/swim spa with a missing, broken or improperly secured suction grate may result in
serious personal injury including drowning.
When the spa/swim spa is in operation, suction is created at this fitting. Users of the spa/
swim spa must be instructed not to come in contact with this fitting in such a way as to
block its orifice. If a user of the spa/swim spa blocks this fitting with his/her body, serious
personal injury or drowning may occur.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 fol-
lowing 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/fitting or suction outlet
cover that is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached can result in a mechani-
cal 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 Entrapment:
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 entrapment.
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.
