IntelliFloXF ™ and IntelliProXF
THIS SYSTEM OPERATES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE.
When any part of the circulating system (e.g., Lock Ring, Pump, Filter, Valves, etc.) is serviced,
air can enter the system and become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the lid to separate
which can result in serious injury, death, or property damage. To avoid this potential hazard, follow
these instructions.
