WARNING! Pump suction is hazardous and can trap and drown or disembowel
bathers. Do not block suction. Do not use or operate swimming pools, spas
or spa baths if a suction cover is broken, missing or loose. Two suction covers
and inlets must be provided into every pump to avoid suction entrapment.
Routine Maintenance tasks – to maximise the life of your pool equipment & personal
safety, use this checklist once a week. Turn pump off first.
a. Make sure that any pressure gauges are in working condition and the operating
pressure is within limits as specified on the product.
b. Make sure that each suction inlet, and main drain has a cover that is securely attached
and in safe working condition.
c. Make sure that all skimmer covers are securely attached and in safe working condition.
These should be replaced every 3 to 4 years.
d. Remove any obstructions or debris from the main drain cover.
e. Ensure the skimmer baskets and the pump hair and lint pots are free of leaves and
debris at least once a week.
f. Remove obstructions and combustibles from around the pump motor.
g. Make sure all wiring connections are clean and that all wiring and electrical equipment
is in good condition. Damaged wiring must be repaired or replaced by a qualified
electrician as soon as damage is discovered.
h. Check water balance and sanitiser levels at your local pool shop.
Small children using the pool or spa must ALWAYS have close adult
supervision.
DANGER - Hazardous suction. Do not block water entry into filtration
system with any part of your body as the pressure can trap hair or body
parts, causing severe injury or death. Do not block suction. Turn off
pump immediately if someone becomes trapped.
Caution! Do not add chemicals directly to the pool skimmer. Adding
undiluted chemicals may damage pump and filter and void warranty.
To avoid explosion and possible severe or fatal injury, filter pressure must
not exceed 280kPa. Do not test filter with compressed air. Check that all
clamps and fasteners are in good condition and are firmly secured before
pressurising system. Never adjust clamps or fasteners while filter is
pressurised.
WARNING:
Always relieve pressure from system before performing any
service work.
