Installation and Operation Manual
Section 1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 Safety Instructions
All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to all national, state, and local codes.
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of property damage or injury, do not attempt to change the backwash (multiport, slide, or full
flow) valve position with the pump running.
WARNING
Zodiac
®
pumps are powered by a high voltage electric motor and must be installed by a licensed or certified
electrician or a qualified swimming pool service technician.
WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH
. Connect only to a branch circuit that is
protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the
circuit is protected by a GFCI. Make sure such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on
a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test 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 electrical shock. Do not use the pump. Disconnect the pump and have the problem corrected by a qualified
service representative before using.
Due to the potential risk of fire, electric shock, or injuries to persons, Zodiac Pumps must be installed in
accordance with the National Electrical Code
®
(NEC
®
), all local electrical and safety codes, and the Occupational
Safety and Health Act (OSHA
®
). Copies of the NEC may be ordered from the National Fire Protection Association
®
(NFPA
®
) online at www.nfpa.org or call 617-770-3000, or contact your local government inspection agency.
