WARNING - ENTRAPMENT AVOIDANCE NOTICE
The suction outlet connected to a swimming pool or spa pump can pull a high vacuum if it
is blocked. Therefore, if only one suction outlet smaller than 46 cm x 58 cm is used, anyone
blocking the suction outlet with their body can be trapped and held against the suction outlet.
An abdominal wound or drowning can result. Therefore, if small suction outlets are used
with this pump, to prevent this entrapment and possible death, install at least two suction
outlets in the body of water. Separate these suction outlets as described in the International
Residential Code (IRC), the International Business Code (IBC), the Consumer Products Safety
Council (CPSC) Guidelines for Entrapment Hazards: Making Pools and Spas Safer or ANSI/
IAF-7 Standard for Suction Entrapment Avoidance in Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, Spas,
Hot Tubs and Catch Basins. If suction outlets are not used, additional entrapment avoidance
measures as described in the CPSC Guidelines or ANSI/IAF-7 should be employed.
The covers used on suction outlets should be approved and listed as conforming to the
currently published edition of ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 Standard covering Suction Fittings for
Use in Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, Spas and Hot Tubs. These covers should be inspected
regularly and replaced if cracked, broken or older than the design lifetime indicated on them
by the manufacturer. The maximum possible flow rate of this pump should be less than
or equal to the maximum approved flow rate indicated on the suction outlet cover by the
manufacturer. THE USE OF UNAPPROVED COVERS OR ALLOWING USE OF THE POOL OR
SPA WHEN COVERS ARE CRACKED OR BROKEN CAN RESULT IN HAIR ENTANGLEMENT
WHICH CAN RESULT IN DEATH.
WARNING - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION
This pool pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool
serviceman in accordance with all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper installation
will create an electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury to pool users,
installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property.
Always disconnect power to the pool pump at the circuit breaker before servicing the pump.
Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to serviceman, pool users or others
due to electric shock
