DANGER: Do not pump flammable or explosive liquids such
as oil, gasoline, kerosene, ethanol, etc. Do not use in the
presence of flammable or explosive vapors. Using this pump
with or near flammable liquids can cause an explosion or
fire, resulting in property damage, serious personal injury,
and/or death.
DANGER: ALWAYS disconnect the power to the pump before
servicing.
DANGER: Do not touch the motor housing during operation.
The motor is designed to operate at high temperatures. Do
not disassemble the motor housing.
DANGER: Do not handle the pump or pump motor with wet
hands or when standing on a wet or damp surface, or in
water.
WARNING: Wear safety goggles at all times when working
with pumps.
WARNING: This is a 230 V pump.
All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
WARNING: Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot
surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord. Do not
use damaged or worn cords.
WARNING: Failure to comply with the instruction and
designed operation of this unit may void the warranty.
ATTEMPTING TO USE A DAMAGED PUMP can result in
property damage, serious personal injury, and/or death.
WARNING: The pump should be connected to a GFCI outlet
protected with a 15 amp (230V) fuse or circuit breaker.
WARNING: Fire and burn hazard. Motors run at high
temperatures. Do not allow leaves, debris, or foreign matter
to collect around the pump motor. Allow the motor to cool
before handling.
CAUTION: Know the pump and its applications, limitations,
and potential hazards.
CAUTION: Periodically inspect the pump and system
components. Disconnect the pump from the power supply
before inspecting.
CAUTION: Follow all local electrical and safety codes, along
with the National Electrical Code (NEC). In addition, all
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
guidelines must be followed.
CAUTION: This pump is for use with permanently installed
pools. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently
installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a
building and is not intended to be disassembled or moved.
CAUTION: Use rigid or flexible PVC pipe. Ensure pipe ends
are clean and free of any flash caused by cutting. Use proper
glue for the type of pipe selected.
CAUTION: Locate pump on a non-combustible surface as
close to the pool/spa as possible. The surface should be
hard, level, dry, and well ventilated. The surrounding area
should provide protection from the elements and allow
sufficient space for maintenance and service. Ensure the
drainage will flow away from the pump. To reduce vibration
and pipe stress, use anchor bolts to secure the pump base
to the surface.
CAUTION: Use a supplier recommended primer to ensure
glued joints are secure. Many local codes require primer
with a purple tracer to verify primer use.
CAUTION: Consider climatic conditions when applying
adhesives. Atmospheric conditions with high humidity will
make the adhesive action of certain glues less effective.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
CAUTION: This pump should be installed and serviced only
by a qualified pool service professional. Installers, 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.
IMPORTANT: Design the piping system to allow the pump
suction inlet height to be as close to the water level as
possible. Mount the pump below water level for easy
priming. If the pump must be located above the filled water
level, keep the vertical distance to a minimum. Use short,
direct piping to the suction to minimize friction loss.
IMPORTANT: The motor of this pump has a thermal
protector that will trip if the motor becomes too hot. The
protector will reset itself once the motor cools down and an
acceptable temperature has been reached. The pump may
start unexpectedly if it is plugged in.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the electrical power source is adequate
for the requirements of the pump.
