IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before installing or servicing this electrical equipment, turn OFF and ISOLATE power supply.
WARNING –
Hazardous Pressure. Pool and spa water circulation systems operate under hazardous pressure during
start-up, normal operation, and after pump shut-off. Stand clear of circulation system equipment during
pump start-up. Failure to follow safety and operation instructions could result in violent separation of the
pump housing and cover due to pressure in the system. This separation could cause property damage,
severe personal injury, or death. Before servicing the pool and spa water circulation system, all system
and pump controls must be in the off position and the Filter Manual Air Relief Valve must be in the open
position. Before starting the system pump, all valves must be set in a position to allow system water
to return back to the pool. Do not change the Filter Control Valve position while the system pump is
running. Before starting the system pump, fully open the Filter Manual Air Relief Valve. Do not close the
Filter Manual Air Relief valve until all the air is expelled and a steady stream of water is discharged from
the valve. All suction and discharge valves MUST BE OPEN when starting the circulation system. Failure
to do so could result in severe personal injury and/or property damage.
WARNING –
Separation Hazard. Failure to follow safety and operation instructions could result in violent separation
of pump components. Strainer cover must be properly secured to pump housing with the strainer
cover lock ring. Before servicing pool and spa circulation system, all system and pump controls must
be in off position and the Filter Manual Air Relief Valve must be in open position. Do not operate pool
and spa circulation system if system components are not assembled properly, damaged, or missing.
Do not operate pool and spa circulation system unless the Filter Air Relief Valve body is in locked
position within the filter upper body. All suction and discharge valves MUST BE OPEN when starting the
circulation system. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury and/or property damage.
WARNING –
Suction Entrapment Hazard. The force from suction in suction outlets and/or suction outlet covers which
are damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured, can cause severe injury and/or death due to the
following entrapment hazards:
Hair Entrapment - Hair can become entangled in suction outlet cover.
Limb Entrapment - A limb inserted into an opening of a suction outlet sump or suction outlet cover
that is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached, can result in a mechanical bind or
swelling of the limb.
Body Suction Entrapment - A differential pressure applied to a large portion of the body or limbs can
result in an entrapment.
Evisceration/Disembowelment - A negative pressure applied directly to the intestines through an
unprotected suction outlet sump or suction outlet cover which is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or
unsecured, can result in evisceration/disembowelment.
Mechanical Entrapment - There is potential for jewelry, swimsuits, hair decorations, fingers, toes, or
knuckles, to be caught in an opening of a suction outlet cover resulting in mechanical entrapment.
WARNING –
To Reduce the risk of Entrapment Hazards:
When outlets are small enough to be blocked by a person, a minimum of two functioning suction
»
outlets per pump must be installed. Suction outlets in the same plane (i.e. floor or wall), must be
installed a minimum of 0.91 metres or three feet (3') apart, as measured from near point to near
point to avoid dual blockage by a user.
Dual suction fittings shall not be located on seating areas or on the backrest for such seating areas.
»
Never use pool or spa if any suction outlet component is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not
»
securely attached.
Replace damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached suction outlet components immediately.
»
In addition to installing two or more suction outlets per pump, follow all national, state and local government
»
regulations as well as AS 1926.3 Latest Edition.
Installation of a vacuum release or vent system, which relieves entrapping suction, is recommended.
