SAFETY SECTION
Warning
The equipment must be installed and serviced by a qualified technician in accordance with all applicable codes and ordinances. Improper installation can create hazards resulting
in property damage, serious injury, or death. Improper installation will void the warranty. Follow the guidelines below for pump installation, which minimizes the risk to pool, spa,
and hot tub users.
• Pump suction is hazardous and can trap, drown, or disembowel bathers. Do not use or operate swimming pools, spas, or hot tubs if a suction outlet cover is missing, broken,
or loose.
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
• Entrapment protection must be designed to eliminate the possibility of suction entrapment or hair entrapment.
• Risk of electric shock or electrocution. Connect only to a grounding-type receptacle protected by a ground-fault circuit- interrupter (GFCI).
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, install at least 6 feet from the inside walls of a pool. Do not use an extension cord. Provide a properly located outlet.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, replace the damaged cord.
• To avoid electrical shock hazards, always turn the power off the motor before draining the pump.
• If installed in an outer enclosure, adequate ventilation and free air circulation must be provided to prevent motor overheating.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The self-priming two-speed pool pump is designed for high efficiency and easy installation and maintenance. It is constructed for years of
trouble-free service. This swimming pool pump is designed for use with permanently installed swimming pools only.
Note: This pump is for use with permanently installed pools only. Do not use with storable pools. Max liquid temperature: +122°F
Note: This manual contains essential information about this product's installation, operation, and safe use. Once installation is complete, this manual
must be given to the owner/operator of this equipment.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Always follow basic safety precautions with this equipment, including:
This pump is for use with permanently installed pools. Do not use with portable pools. A permanently installed pool is constructed in, on the
ground, or in a building and is not intended to be disassembled or moved.
Provide sufficient ventilation to maintain air temperature below the maximum ambient temperature rating shown on the motor nameplate.
Any enclosure or pump house must allow adequate ventilation to ensure the ambient temperature remains below the motor rating when the
pump operates.
Locate the pump on a non-combustible surface that is as close to the pool as possible. The surface should be hard, level, dry, well
ventilated. The surrounding area should protect the pump from the elements and allow sufficient space for maintenance and service. Ensure
the drainage will flow away from the pump. To reduce vibration and pipe stress, use anchor bolts to secure the pump base to the surface.
Design the piping system to allow the pump suction inlet height to be as close to the water level as possible. Mount the pump below the
water level for easy priming. If the pump must be located above the filled water level, keep the vertical distance to a minimum. Use short,
direct piping to the suction; this will minimize friction loss.
Motors run at high temperatures. Do not allow leaves, debris, or foreign matter to collect around the pump motor. Allow the motor to cool
before handling.
