PUMPS IMPROPERLY SIZED OR INSTALLED OR USED IN APPLICATIONS OTHER THAN
FOR WHICH THE PUMP WAS INTENDED CAN RESULT IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY
OR DEATH. THESE RISKS MAY INCLUDE BUT NOT BE LIMITED TO ELECTRIC SHOCK,
FIRE, FLOODING, SUCTION ENTRAPMENT OR SEVERE INJURY OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE CAUSED BY A STRUCTURAL FAILURE OF THE PUMP OR OTHER SYSTEM
COMPONENT.

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 at the bottom of page 5 of this manual.
• 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
IAF (formerly NSPI) 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.
The Virginia Graeme Baker (VGB) Pool and Spa Safety Act creates new requirements for
owners and operators of commercial swimming pools and spas. Commercial pools or
spas constructed on or after December 19, 2008, shall utilize:
• A multiple main drain system without isolation capability with suction outlet covers that
meet ASME/ANSI A112.19.8a Suction Fittings for Use in Swimming Pools, Wading
Pools, Spas, and Hot Tubs and either:
• A safety vacuum release system (SVRS) meeting ASME/ANSI A112.19.17 Manufactured
Safety Vacuum Release systems (SVRS) for Residential and Commercial Swimming
Pool, Spa, Hot Tub, and Wading Pool Suction Systems and/or ASTM F2387
Standard Specification for Manufactured Safety Vacuum Release Systems (SVRS)
for Swimming pools, Spas and Hot Tubs or
• A properly designed and tested suction-limiting vent system or
• An automatic pump shut-off system.

WARNING
– Suction Entrapment Hazard.
Suction in suction outlets and/or suction
outlet covers, which are damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured cause severe
injury and/or death due to the following entrapment hazards:
•
Hair Entrapment
- Hair can become entangled in suction outlet cover.
• L
imb Entrapment
- A limb inserted into an opening of a suction outlet sump or suction
outlet cover that is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached can
result in a mechanical bind or swelling of the limb.
•
Body Suction Entrapment
- A 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, swimsuits, hair decorations,
fingers, toes, or knuckles to be caught in an opening of a suction outlet cover resulting
in mechanical entrapment.
General Warnings
•
Never open the inside of the drive motor enclosure. There is a capacitor bank that holds a
230 VAC charge even when there is no power to the unit.
•
The pump is not submersible.
•
The pump is capable of high flow rates; use caution when installing and programming to
limit pumps performance potential with old or questionable equipment.
•
Code requirements for the electrical connection differ from state to state. Install equipment
in accordance with the current National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and
ordinances.
• Before servicing the pump; switch OFF power to the pump by disconnecting the main
circuit to the pump.
•
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) of reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
NOTE:
• ALL SUCTION PLUMBING MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LATEST
NATIONAL AND LOCAL CODES, STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES.
•
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.
