Consumer Information and Safety
This filter is designed and manufactured to provide many years of safe
and reliable service when installed, operated and maintained according
to the information in this manual and the installation codes referred to in
later sections. Throughout the manual, safety warnings and cautions are
identified by the "
" symbol. Be sure to read and comply with all of the
warnings and cautions.
Do not operate the filter until you have read and
understand clearly all the operating instructions and
warning messages for all equipment that is a part of the circulating system.
The following instructions are intended as a guide for initially operating
the filter in a general installation, however each installation may have
unique conditions where the starting procedure could be different. Failure
to follow all operating instructions and warning messages can result in
severe injury, death, or property damage.
Do not permit children to use or operate this filter.
FILTER OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE.
When any part of the circulating system, (e.g., clamp,
pump, filter, valve(s), etc.), is serviced, air can enter
the system and become pressurized. Pressurized
air can cause the lid to separate which can result in
severe injury, death, or property damage.
To avoid this potential hazard, follow these instructions:
1. Before repositioning valve(s) and before beginning the assembly,
disassembly, or adjustment of the clamp or any other service of the
circulating system: (A) Turn the pump OFF and shut OFF any automatic
controls to ensure the system is NOT inadvertently started during the
servicing; (B) open the manual air relief valve; (C) stand clear of the
filter; (D) wait until all pressure is relieved.
2. Whenever installing the filter clamp FOLLOW THE FILTER CLAMP
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
3. Once service on the circulating system is complete FOLLOW SYSTEM
RESTART INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
4. Maintain circulation system properly. Replace worn or damaged parts
immediately, (e.g., clamp, pressure gauge, valve(s), o-rings, etc).
5. Be sure that the filter is properly mounted and positioned according
to instructions provided.
Due to the potential risk that can be involved it is
recommended that the pressure test be kept to
the minimum time required by the local code. Do
not allow people to work around the system when
the circulation system is under pressure test. Post
appropriate warning signs and establish a barrier around the pressurized
equipment. If the equipment is located in an equipment room, lock the
door and post a warning sign.
Never attempt to adjust any closures or lids or attempt to remove or
tighten bolts when the system is pressurized. These actions can result in
a separation or failure of system components. This instantaneous release
of energy can cause components to be accelerated to high velocities and
to travel far distances. These components could cause severe personal
injury or death if they were to strike a person.
Never exceed the maximum operating pressure of
the system components. Exceeding these limits
could result in a component failing under pressure.
This instantaneous release of energy can cause the
closure to separate and could cause severe personal
injury or death if they were to strike a person.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR
ELECTROCUTION.
This filter must be installed by a qualified service
professional in accordance with the current National
Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and
ordinances.
Always disconnect power to the equipment at the circuit breaker before
servicing any of the equipment. Ensure that the disconnected circuit is
locked out or properly tagged so that it cannot be switched on while you
are working on the equipment. Failure to do so could result in serious
injury or death to serviceman, pool users or others due to electric shock.
Position the filter and the air relief valve to safely direct water drainage and
purged air or water. Water discharged from an improperly positioned filter
or valve can create an electrical hazard that can cause severe personal
injury as well as damage property.
