equipment. Failure to follow instructions can severe injury and/or death.
Warning - Suction Entrapment Hazard.
Suction outlets and/or suction outlet covers which are, damaged, broken, cracked, missing,
or unsecured can cause severe injury and/or death due to the following entrapment
hazards:
Hair Entrapment - Hair can become entangled in suction outlet cover.
Limb Entrapment - A limb inserted into an opening of a suction outlet sump or
suction outlet cover that is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely
attached can result in a mechanical bind or swelling of the limb.
Body Suction Entrapment - A negative pressure applied to a large portion of the
body or limbs can result in and entrapment.
Evisceration / Disembowlment - A negative pressure applied directly to the
intestines through an unprotected suction outlet sump or suction outlet cover which is,
damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured can resuly in evisceration/
disembowelment.
Mechanical Entrapment - There is potential for jewelry, swimsuit, hair
decoration, finger, toe or knuckle to be caught in an opening of a suction outlet cover
resulting in mechanical entrapment.
WARNING - To 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’) (1 meter) apart, as
measured from near point
to near poi

• 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 flow rating of as
listed on Page 7.
• Never us e Pool or Spa if any suction outlet component is damaged,
broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached.

accordance with latest ASME, APSP Standards and CPSC guidelines,
follow all National, State, and Local codes applicable.
• Installation of a vacuum release or vent system, which relieves
entrapping suction, is recommended.
WARNING - Failure to remove pressure test plugs and /or plugs used in
winterization of pool/spa from the suction outlets can result in an increase
potential for suction entrapment as describe above.
