When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety
precautions should always be followed, include the following:
Do not permit children to use this product.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Connect only to
a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault
circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you
cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI.
This unit must be connected only to a supply circuit
that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupt-
er (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the in-
staller 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, the
GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the pump without the
test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the pos-
sibility of an electric shock. Do not use this pump. Disconnect the pump
and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative
before using.
This pump is for use with permanent swimming
pools and may also be used with hot 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 is capable of being readily
disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.
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.
• Sufficient equipotential bonding (min. 4.5mm2 recommended),
in accordance with local regulation, is required on all metal
components of the pool including the pool pump. It is required
FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND
WARNINGS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY
OR DEATH. THIS PUMP SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND
SERVICED ONLY BY A QUALIFIED POOL SERVICE PROFESSIONAL. INSTALL-
ERS, POOL OPERATORS AND OWNERS MUST READ THESE WARNINGS AND
ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL BEFORE USING THIS PUMP.
THESE WARNINGS AND THE OWNER'S MANUAL MUST BE LEFT WITH THE
POOL OWNER.
SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD: STAY OFF
THE MAIN DRAIN AND AWAY FROM ALL SUC-
TION OUTLETS!
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.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION:
PUMPS REQUIRE HIGH VOLTAGE WHICH CAN SHOCK,
BURN, OR CAUSE DEATH. BEFORE WORKING ON
PUMP! Always disconnect power to the pool pump at
the circuit breaker from the pump before servicing
the pump. Failure to do so could result in death or
serious injury to service person, pool users or others
due to electric shock.
THE USE OF UNAPPROVED COVERS OR ALLOWING USE OF THE POOL OR
SPA WHEN COVERS ARE MISSING, CRACKED OR BROKEN CAN RESULT
IN BODY OR LIMB ENTRAPMENT, HAIR ENTANGLEMENT, BODY ENTRAP-
MENT, EVISCERATION AND/OR DEATH.
The suction at a drain or outlet can cause:
Limb Entrapment: When a limb is sucked or inserted into an opening
resulting in a mechanical bind or swelling. This hazard is present when
a drain cover is missing, broken, loose, cracked or not properly secured.
Hair Entanglement: When the hair tangles or knots in the drain cover,
trapping the swimmer underwater. This hazard is present when the flow
rating of the cover is too small for the pump or pumps.
