INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, 

ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS

WARNING:

 When using this unit, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following: 

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS:

• 

WARNING: 

Risk of lethal electric shock. To reduce risk of electric shock, connect only to circuits protected by a 

Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or Residual Current Device (RCD).

• 

DANGER: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this unit unless they are closely supervised at 

all times.

•  Use this unit only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use additional attachments and/or 

equipment not recommended by the manufacturer.

•  Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
•  Do not operate this unit without the guard over the suction fitting.
•  The unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected 

by a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI). 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, there is a ground current flowing, indicating the 

possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this unit. Disconnect the unit 

and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative 

before using.

•  This product is intended for indoor use only. Installing this unit outdoors 

could cause personal injury and will void your warranty.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Pump/motor and heater:

A separate 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 

20-ampere circuit, protected by a 

Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI)  

(GFCI) is required.

Your safety and the safety of

others are very important.

We have provided many important

safety messages in this manual and 

on your appliance. Always read 

and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert

symbol. This symbol

alerts you to potential

hazards that can kill or

hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the 

safety alert symbol and either the 

word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” 

These words mean:

     

 

DANGER

You can be killed or seriously

injured if you don’t immediately

follow instructions.

   

 

WARNING

All safety messages will tell you

what the potential hazard is, tell you

how to reduce the chance of injury,

and tell you what can happen if the

instructions are not followed.
