4. WARNING - To reduce the risk of electric shock,
replace any damaged cord immediately.
5. DO NOT install within an outer enclosure or beneath
the skirt of a hot tub or spa.
6. CAUTION - This pump is for use with permanently-
installed pools and may also be used with hot tubs and
spas if so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A
permanently-installed pool is constructed in or on the
ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily

BEFORE USING THE SPECK PUMP
This manual contains important information about the installation, operation and safe
and
using
this
electrical
7. The unit must be connected only to a supply circuit
that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter
(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.
8. TO REDUCE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, A copper
bonding connector (8 AWG) is provided for bonding the
motor to all metal parts of the swimming pool, spa, or
hot tub structure and to all electrical equipment, metal
conduit, and metal piping within 5 feet of the inside
walls of a swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, when the
motor is installed within 5 feet of the inside walls of
the swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.
NOTE: To installer and/or operator of the Speck
Swimming Pool Pump; the manufacturer's warranty
will be voided if the pump is improperly installed and/
or operated.

Where strainer gasket go

The strainer gasket (o-ring) on the Speck Pro Series pump goes under the see-through lid of the strainer tank. It must be clean and properly positioned to ensure an air-tight seal when the lid is hand-tightened.
