    READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS ATTENTION INSTALLER: This manual contains essential information about the installation, operation, and safe use of this pool pump.

    DANGER- Suction Entrapment Hazard. The pump produces high levels of suction, thus creating a strong vacuum at the main drain at the bottom of your swimming pool/spa. This suction is so strong that it can trap adults and children under water if they come in close proximity to the drain. The use of unapproved drain covers, or allowing the use of your pool or spa when drain covers are either missing or broken, can result in body or limb entrapment, hair entanglement, body entrapment, evisceration, and/or death.
  • Page 4 Pump Dimensions Pump Installation Before servicing, all water circulation systems and pump controls must be in the off position, releasing all the pressure from the system. WARNING- This pump should be serviced and installed by licensed professionals. Location Place pump as close to the pool as it allows and run suction lines as direct as possible to reduce friction loss. All suction lines should have a continuous slope upward from the lowest point in line.

    ● Avoid the use of 90-degree elbows within 12” of the suction port or discharge port of the pump. The fewer 90-degree elbows, the better. ● The use of two 45-degree fittings is better than one 90-degree elbow. ● If you are having problems with your pump keeping prime after the pump shuts off, then the use of a check valve on the suction side of the pump will help with keeping the pump primed.
