Section 1. Important Safety Instructions

1.1

Safety Instructions

All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to all national, state, and local codes.
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
RISK OF SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD, WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY
OR DEATH. Do not block pump suction, as this can cause severe injury or death. Do not use this pump for
wading pools, shallow pools, or spas containing bottom drains, unless the pump is connected to at least two
(2) functioning suction outlets. Suction outlet (drain) assemblies and their covers must be certified to the latest
published edition of ANSI
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product.
To reduce the risk of property damage or injury, do not attempt to change the backwash (multiport, slide, or full
flow) valve position with the pump running.
Jandy pumps are powered by a high voltage electric motor and must be installed by a licensed or certified
electrician or a qualified swimming pool service technician.
Due to the potential risk of fire, electric shock, or injuries to persons, Jandy pumps must be installed in accordance
with the National Electrical Code
and Health Act (OSHA). Copies of the NEC may be ordered from the National Fire Protection Association, 1
Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02169, or from your local government inspection agency.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH. Connect only to a branch circuit that is
protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the
circuit is protected by a GFCI. 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 electrical
shock. Do not use the device. Disconnect the device and have the problem corrected by a qualified service
representative before using.
Incorrectly installed equipment may fail, causing severe injury or property damage.
