Important Safety Precautions
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
(For all units)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely
supervised at all times.
(For cord-and-plug connected units)
WARNING: Risk of Electrical Shock. Connect only to a grounding type receptacle protected by a ground-
fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the receptacle is
protected by a GFCI.
(For cord-and-plug connected units)
WARNING: Do not bury the cord. Locate cord to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers,
and other equipment.
(For cord-and-plug connected units)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, replace damaged cord immediately.
(For cord-and-plug connected units)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not use extension cord to connect unit to electrical
supply; provide a properly located outlet.
(For swimming pool pumps with or without a maximum 3 foot (0.91-m) cord)
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 disassembled for storage. A storable pool is
constructed so that it may be readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, connect ground wires to grounding screw located in
the motor. Use no smaller than a #12 AWG (3.3mm2) wire.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, a bonding connector is provided for bonding to
metal water pipes, metal rails, or other metal within 5 feet of the swimming pool. All local points should be
bonded with a #8 AWG (8.4mm2) wire.
(For hot tub and spa pumps)
CAUTION: Do not install within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt of a hot tub or spa unless so
marked.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
