GRE VSG75 Instruction Manual page 6

– 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 three
feet (3') [0.91 meter] apart, as measured from near point to near point.
- Dual suction fittings shall be placed in such locations and distances 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.
- The maximum system flow rate shall not exceed the according to the regulations applicable in the location where
installed.
- Never use pool 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 two or more suction outlets per pump installed, follow all national, state, and local codes applicable.
- Installation of a vacuum release or vent system, which relieves entrapping suction, is recommended.
– Hazardous Pressure. Pool water circulation systems operate under hazardous pressure during start-up, nor-
mal 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, which could cause property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Before servicing pool water circulation system, all system and pump controls must be in off position and filter
manual air relief valve if part of the filtration system must be in open position. Before starting system pump, all
system valves must be set in a position to allow system water to return back to the pool. Do not change filter
control valve position while system pump is running. Before starting system pump, fully open filter manual air
relief valve. Do not close filter manual air relief valve until a steady stream of water (not air or air and water) is
discharged. 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.
– 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 strainer cover lock ring.
Before servicing pool and spa circulation system, all system and pump controls must be in off position and filter
manual air relief valve must be in open position. Do not operate pool circulation system if a system component
is not assembled properly, damaged, or missing. Do not operate pool circulation system unless filter air relief
valve body is in closed position. 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.
– Never operate or test the circulation system at more than 40 PSI (2.7 Bar).
– Fire and burn hazard. Motors operate at high temperatures and if they are not properly isolated from any
flammable structures or foreign debris they can cause fires, which may cause severe personal injury or death.
It is also necessary to allow the motor to cool for at least 20 minutes prior to maintenance to minimize the risk
for burns.
– Failure to install according to defined instructions may result in severe personal injury or death.
– Use of unauthorized replacement parts voids warranty.
CAUTION
Though this product is designed for outdoor use, it is strongly advised to protect the electrical components from
the weather. Select a well-drained area, one that will not flood when it rains. It requires free circulation of air
for cooling. Do not install in a damp or unventilated location. If installed within an outer enclosure or beneath
the skirt of a hot tub or spa, adequate ventilation and free circulation of air must be provided to prevent over-
heating of the motor.
