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-interrupter (GFCI).
Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer 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 possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this pump. Dis-
connect the pump and have the problem corrected by a qualified service repre-
sentative 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 for electrical safety
as well as to reduce the risk of corrosion.
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. 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.
SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD: STAY OFF THE
MAIN DRAIN AND AWAY FROM ALL SUCTION
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 ENTRAP-
MENT, HAIR ENTANGLEMENT, BODY ENTRAPMENT, 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.
