DANGER: ELECTROCUTION
A
OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK RISK.
DISCONNECT ELECTRICITY BEFORE
WORKING ON PUMP, OR SHOCK, BURN
OR ELECTROCUTION CAN RESULT.
Always disconnect pool pump power at the circuit breaker
before servicing the pump. Death or serious injury to
service people, pool users or others due to electric shock
could result from failure to avoid the high danger risk.
NOTE: Always turn off all power to the pool pump before
installing the cover or working on any suction outlet.
WARNING: Never work on the pump while it is
A
running or the power is still connected. High voltage
can cause serious or fatal injury. A suitable ground-fault
circuit-interrupter (GFCI) should always be installed at
the power supply source of this unit. Article 681-31 of
the NEC requires that a GFCI be used if this pump is
used with a storage pool. Be sure to ground the motor
before connecting to electrical AC power source. Failure
to ground the motor can cause serious or fatal electrical
shock hazard. DO NOT ground to a gas supply pipe line.
A CAUTION: This pump is for use with permanently
installed pools and may also be used with hot tubs and
spas. Do not use with storable pools unless the pump
is protected by a factory-installed double-insulated
enclosure. 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 may be readily disassembled for
storage and reassembled to original integrity.
NOTE: This pump operates with electrical voltage, and
can generate both vacuum and pressure in the water
system. When properly wired and plumbed, this pump
will operate in a safe manner.
A WARNING: Ground and bond the pump before
connecting to electrical power supply. Failure to ground
and bond the pump can cause serious or fatal electrical
shock hazard. DO NOT ground to a gas supply line. To
avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock, turn OFF power
to the pump before working on electrical connections.
NOTE: Always turn off all power to the pool pump before
installing the cover or working on any suction outlet.
DANGER: For continued protection against possible
A
electrical shock, this unit is to be mounted to the base in
accordance with the installation instructions.
WARNING: Bonding Instructions - Permanently
A
wired units will need to include instructions for
connecting the solid copper, equipotential bonding
conductor. For units sold with the UL Mark for the
United States (USL), the size of the bonding conductor
should be No. 8 AWG. For units sold with the UL Mark for
Canada (CNL), the size of the bonding conductor should
be No. 6 AWG.

to a branch circuit protected by a GFCI. Contact a
qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is
protected by a GFCI. The unit must be connected only to
a supply circuit that is protected by a 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. Disconnect
the pump and have the problem corrected by a qualified
service representative before using.
UNCONTROLLED DOCUMENT IF PRINTED
CAUTION: Elevated water temperature can be
Spa water temperatures should never exceed 104°F
(40°C). A temperature of 100°F (38°C) is considered
safe for a healthy adult. Special caution is suggested
for young children.
Drinking of alcoholic beverages before or during spa
or hot tub use can cause drowsiness which could
lead to unconsciousness and subsequently result in
drowning.
Pregnant Women Beware! Soaking in water over
102°F (39°C) can cause fetal damage during the first
three months of pregnancy resulting in the birth of a
brain-damaged or deformed child.
Before entering the spa or hot tub, users should
check the water temperature with an accurate
thermometer; spa or hot tub thermostats may err
in regulating water temperatures by as much as 4°F
(2.2°C).
Persons with a medical history of heart disease,
circulatory problems, diabetes, or blood pressure
problems should obtain a physician's advice before
using pools or hot tubs.
Persons taking medications
drowsiness, such as tranquilizers, antihistamines,
or anticoagulants, should not use spas or hot tubs.
