INSPECTION

Examine the equipment when received. Notify your dealer or carrier of any
damage or missing parts. Verify that equipment is of size and model specified.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:

RISK OF SUCTION ENTRAPMENT
HAZARD WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED,

MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

Pumps can quickly generate high suction, which poses the risk of entrap-
ment if improperly connected to suction outlets. Disembowelment, entrap-
ment, or drowning is possible when body parts or hair contact damaged,
cracked, missing, or unsecured drain covers and suction outlets.

Pumps

and fittings shall be installed in accordance with the latest NSPI or
IAF standards, CPSC guidelines, and national, state and local codes,
to minimize this risk.

Some of those requirements are as follows. Always

consult the latest regulations to ensure that your installation meets the nec-
essary requirements to minimize suction entrapment.

1. All fully submerged Suction Outlet Covers shall be listed to
ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 standard.
2. Do not use a pump in an installation where there is only one fully
submerged single suction outlet.
3. If main drains are installed in your pool, there must be a minimum
of two for each pumping system, and each drain must include a Listed
Suction Outlet Cover. Wading pools may have additional requirements
to minimize entrapment hazards.
4. Skimmers may supply 100% of the required flow to the pump, and
must be vented to atmosphere. A skimmer is not considered a sec-
ond main drain.
5. When two suction outlets are used, the maximum system flow rate
shall not exceed the rating of any one of the listed suction outlet
covers installed. When more than two are used, the sum of the rat-
ings shall be at least twice the maximum system flow rate.
6. Each Suction Outlet Cover shall be separated by a minimum of
three feet (3’), measured from center of suction pipes.
7. Avoid installing check valves. If check valves must be used, ensure
that the installation conforms to applicable standards.
8. Never use the pool or spa if a Suction Outlet Cover is damaged,
cracked, missing, or not securely attached. Suction outlet cover must
be attached with stainless steel screws supplied with the cover. If
screws are lost, order replacement parts from your supplier.

WARNING

221666072077

To reduce risk of injury, do not permit
children to use this product unless they are

closely supervised at all times.

(For cord & plug connected units)

Risk

of Electric Shock

. Connect only to a

grounding type receptacle protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter
(GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the recep-
tacle is protected by a GFCI.

(For cord & plug connected units)

not bury cord

. Locate cord to minimize abuse

from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and other equipment.

(For cord & plug connected units) To
reduce the risk of electric shock; if the pump

cord is damaged or appears to be damaged, replace it immediately with the
same type of cord which is available from your local dealer. The new cord
must be installed by a qualified electrician. Inspect the cord annually.

(For hot tub and spa pumps) Do not install
within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt

of the hot tub or spa, unless so marked.

(For cord & plug connected units) To
reduce the risk of electric shock,

do not use

an extension cord

to connect unit to electric supply; provide a properly lo-

cated outlet.

(1.5M) from the pool to prevent it being used

as a means of access to the pool by young children. (See ANSI/NSPI-8 1996
“Model Barrier Code For Residential Swimming Pools, Spas and Hot Tubs”).

Your filter is a pressure vessel and should
never be serviced while under pressure. Al-

ways shut off pump to relieve the pressure in the filter prior to servicing the unit.

For Canada only:

The motor of the filter

pump for above-ground pools is equipped

with a splash cover and a 25 foot three conductor cord ending with a three-pin
grounding plug and must be connected only to a grounding type receptacle
protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).

(For pumps with a 25 ft. (7.62m) cord). This
pump is for use with storable pools only. Do

not use with permanently installed pools. A storable pool is constructed so
that it may be readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its origi-
nal integrity. A permanently installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or
in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage.

(For pumps with a 3 ft. (.91 m) cord). This
pump is for use with permanently installed

pools and may also be used with tubs and spas if so marked. Do not use with
storable pools. A permanently installed pool is constructed in or on the ground
or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A
storable pool is constructed so that it may be readily disassembled for storage
and reassembled to its original integrity.
