IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
–
Suction Entrapment Hazard
.
Suction in suction outlets and/or suction outlet covers which are damaged, broken, cracked, missing,
or unsecured can cause severe injury or death due to the following entrapment hazards:
Hair Entrapment
-
Hair becomes knotted or snagged in an outlet cover.
Limb Entrapment
-
A limb sucked or inserted into an opening of a circulation outlet with a broken or missing cover in
the pool resulting in a mechanical bind or swelling
Body Suction Entrapment
-
Suction applied to a large portion of the body or limbs resulting in an entrapment.
Evisceration/ Disembowelment Entrapment
-
Suction applied directly to the intestines through an unprotected
sump or suction outlet with a missing or broken cover.
Mechanical Entrapment
-
Potential for jewelry, swimsuit, hair decorations, finger, toe or knuckle to be caught in an
opening of an outlet or cover.
To Reduce the risk of Entrapment Hazards:
o
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’) [1 meter] apart, as
measured from suction center line to suction center line.
o
Dual suction fittings shall be placed in such locations and distances to avoid “dual blockage” by a
user.
o
Dual suction fittings shall not be located on seating areas or on the backrest for such seating areas.
o
The maximum system flow rate shall not exceed the flow rating of any listed (per ASME/ANSI A112.19.8M-1987,
ASME A112.19.8-2007) suction outlet cover installed.
o
Never use a Pool or Spa if any suction outlet component is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached.
o
Replace damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached suction outlet components immediately.
o
Two or more suction outlets per pump should be installed in accordance with latest APSP Standards and CPSC
guidelines, follow all National, State, and Local codes applicable.
o
Installation of a vacuum release system, which relieves entrapping suction, is recommended.
POOL PREPARATION
Fill the pool with approximately two (2) feet of water so the liner is under weight and stretched to the proper position
prior to installing the skimmer.
Note: The liner cannot be shifted after the skimmer and return holes have been cut.
SKIMMER ASSEMBY
1.
If the SP1091E, Wide mouth extension, is not installed on the body, it must be assembled to the body prior to attempting to
install the skimmer in the pool.
2.
To install the wide mouth extension, insert four (4) pan head screws 1” long through the lip of the extension and four (4)
through the throat of the skimmer. Place the gasket between the extension and the skimmer body. Firmly tighten the screws.
SKIMMER INSTALLATION
1.
From the outside of the pool install the face-plate double gasket at skimmer cutout in the wall. Reach over the top rail of the
pool and carefully press the face-plate and liner against the gasket and skimmer cutout in the wall. Punch out the two top
corner holes using a blunt object. Insert two self-threading flat head screws (provided) into the top corner holes of the face-
plate.
2.
Carefully push the screws through the holes that have been pierced in the liner and through the double gasket. From the
outside of the pool, align the skimmer body with these screws. Lightly tighten the two screws.
3.
Using a blunt object, pierce the remaining holes in the liner. Insert and lightly tighten the remaining flat head screws through
the face-plate, liner, gasket and into the corresponding holes on the skimmer. Firmly tighten all screws evenly, alternately
left and right, top and bottom.
4.
Using the skimmer face plate as a guide, use a razor knife to trim only the liner, being careful not to the gasket, in the large
skimmer opening.
