1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
THIS PUMP PRODUCES HIGH LEVELS OF SUCTION AND CREATES A STRONG
VACUUM AT THE MAIN DRAIN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BODY OF WATER. THIS
SUCTION IS SO STRONG THAT IT CAN TRAP ADULTS OR CHILDREN UNDER
WATER IF THEY COME IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO A DRAIN OR A LOOSE OR
BROKEN DRAIN COVER OR GRATE.
THE USE OF UNAPPROVED COVERS OR ALLOWING USE OF THE POOL OR SPA
WHEN COVERS ARE MISSING, CRACKED OR BROKEN CAN RESULT IN BODY OR
LIMB ENTRAPMENT, HAIR ENTANGLEMENT, BODY ENTRAPMENT, EVISCERATION
AND/OR DEATH.
WARNING -
TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF INJURY DUE TO SUCTION ENTRAPMENT
HAZARD:
• A properly installed and secured , according to the standards in force in the country
concerned, approved anti-entrapment suction cover must be used for each drain.
• Regularly inspect all covers for cracks, damage and advanced weathering.
• If a cover becomes loose, cracked, damaged, broken or is missing, replace with an
appropriate certified cover.
• Replace drain covers as necessary. Drain covers deteriorate over time due to exposure
to sunlight and weather.
• Avoid getting hair, limbs or body in close proximity to any suction cover, pool drain or
outlet.
• Disable suction outlets or reconfigure into return inlets.
