To Reduce the risk of Entrapment Hazards:
•
When outlets are small enough to be blocked by a person, 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 near point to near point.
•
Dual suction fittings shall be placed in such locations and distances to avoid "dual blockage" by a user.
•
Dual suction fittings shall not be located on seating areas or on the backrest for such seating areas.
•
The maximum system flow rate shall not exceed the flow rating as listed on Table 1.
•
Never use pool or spa if any suction outlet component is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not
securely attached.
•
Replace damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached suction outlet components
immediately.
•
Install two or more suction outlets per pump in accordance with latest ASME, APSP Standards and CPSC
guidelines. Follow all applicable National, State, and Local codes.
•
Installation of a vacuum release or vent system, which relieves entrapping suction, is recommended.
Failure to remove pressure test plugs and/or plugs used in winterization of the pool/spa
from the suction outlets can result in an increase potential for suction entrapment as
described above.
Failure to keep suction outlet components clear of debris, such as leaves, dirt, hair, paper
and other material can result in an increased potential for suction entrapment as
described above.
Suction outlet components have a finite life. The cover/grate should be inspected
frequently and replaced at least every ten years or if found to be damaged, broken,
cracked, missing, or not securely attached.
Components such as the filtration system, pumps and heater must be positioned so as to
prevent their being used as means of access to the pool by young children.
Never operate or test the circulation system at more than 50 PSI.
Never change the filter control valve position while the pump is running.
To reduce risk of injury, do not permit children to use or climb on this product. Closely
supervise children at all times.
Hazardous Pressure. Pool and spa water circulation systems operate under hazardous
pressure during start up, normal operation, and after pump shut off. Stand clear of
circulation system equipment during pump start up. Failure to follow safety and operation instructions could
result in violent separation of the pump housing and cover, and/or filter housing and clamp due to pressure in
the system, which could cause property damage, severe personal injury, or death. Before servicing pool and
spa water circulation system, all system and pump controls must be in off position and filter manual air relief
valve must be in open position. Before starting system pump, all system valves must be set in a position to
allow system water to return back to the pool. Do not change filter control valve position while system pump is
running. Before starting system pump, fully open filter manual air relief valve. Do not close filter manual air
relief valve until a steady stream of water (not air or air and water) is discharged.
Separation Hazard. Failure to follow safety and operation instructions could result in
violent separation of pump and/or filter components. Strainer cover must be properly
secured to pump housing with strainer cover lock ring. Before servicing pool and spa circulation system, filter
manual air relief valve must be in open position. Do not operate pool and spa circulation system if a system
component is not assembled properly, damaged, or missing. Do not operate pool and spa circulation system
unless filter manual air relief valve body is in locked position in filter upper body.
