injury, death, or property damage.
All work must be performed by a licensed electrician, and must conform to
all EU country, and local codes.
The suction outlet connected to a swimming pool or spa pump can pull a high vacuum
if it is blocked. Therefore, if only one suction outlet smaller than 46 cm x 58 cm is used,
anyone blocking the suction outlet with their body can be trapped and held against
the suction outlet. An abdominal wound or drowning can result. Therefore, if small
suction outlets are used with this pump, to prevent this entrapment and possible death,
install at least two suction outlets in the body of water. Separate these suction outlets
as described in the International Residential Code (IRC), the International Business
Code (IBC), the Consumer Products Safety Council (CPSC) Guidelines for Entrapment
Hazards: Making Pools and Spas Safer or ANSI/IAF-7 Standard for Suction Entrapment
Avoidance in Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs and Catch Basins. If
suction outlets are not used, additional entrapment avoidance measures as described
in the CPSC Guidelines or ANSI/IAF-7 should be employed.
The covers used on suction outlets should be approved and listed as conforming to
the currently published edition of ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 Standard covering Suction
Fittings for Use in Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, Spas and Hot Tubs. These covers
should be inspected regularly and replaced if cracked, broken or older than the design
lifetime indicated on them by the manufacturer. The maximum possible flow rate of this
pump should be less than or equal to the maximum approved flow rate indicated on
the suction outlet cover by the manufacturer. THE USE OF UNAPPROVED COVERS
OR ALLOWING USE OF THE POOL OR SPA WHEN COVERS ARE CRACKED OR
BROKEN CAN RESULT IN HAIR ENTANGLEMENT WHICH CAN RESULT IN DEATH.
This pool pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool
serviceman in accordance with all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper
installation will create an electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury
to pool users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage
to property.
Always disconnect power to the pool pump at the circuit breaker before servicing
the pump. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to serviceman, pool
users or others due to electric shock.
