PREPARATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR ALL MODELS:
When installing and using this electrical equipment,
basic safety precautions should always be fol-
lowed, including the following:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not
permit children to use this product unless they are
closely supervised at all times.
3. WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Connect only to
a grounding type receptacle protected by a Ground
Fault Interrupter (GFCI).
(For storable pool pumps) This product is provided
with a ground-fault circuit-interrupter. If replacement
of the plug or cord is needed, use only identical
replacement parts.
(For all permanently installed units) Connect only to
a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-
interrupter (GFCI).
Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that
the receptacle is protected by a GFCI.
4. Do not bury cord. Locate cord to minimize abuse
from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and other equip-
ment.
5. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock,
replace damaged cord immediately.
6. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do
not use an extension cord to connect unit to the
electrical supply; provide a properly located outlet.
FOR UL MODELS: (25 Ft. cord)
7. CAUTION: This pump is for use with storable pools
only. Do not use with permanently installed pools. A
storable pool is constructed so it may be readily disas-
sembled for storage and reassembled to its original
integrity. A permanently installed pool is constructed in
or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be
readily disassembled for storage.
(For storable pools) The unit is provided with a
ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). 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 the pump.
Disconnect the pump and have the problem
corrected by a qualified service represenative before
using.
FOR NEC/UL MODELS ONLY: (3 Ft. cord)
8. 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 con-
structed so that it may be readily disassembled for
storage and reassembled to its original integrity.
FOR ALL MODELS:
9. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
ELECTRICAL SOURCE
FOR UL MODELS: (25 Ft. cord)
Your pump is supplied with a 25 foot, 3-wire electrical
cord and a 3-pronged plug. The pump is double insu-
lated and grounded. The pump electrical cord must be
connected to a grounded, 3-wire, 115 VAC electrical
receptacle.
The pump should be connected to a receptalce on a
dedicated circuit protected by a 20 AMP circuit breaker.
DO NOT use a grounding adaptor.
The receptacle must be protected by a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in accordance with Article 680-
31 of the National Electrical Code (NEC), (Section 68-
204 of the Canadian Electrical Code (CSA) and local
codes or ordinances. For runs greater than 25 feet,
consult your local licensed electrical contractor.
FOR NEC/UL MODELS ONLY: (25 Ft. cord)
Your pump is suppplied with a 3-foot, 3-wire electrical
cord and a 3-prong flanged, twist-lock plug.
The pump electrical cord must be connected to a single
twist lock, grounding type receptalcle that is located a
minimum of 6 feet from the inside pool wall.
A qualified electrical contractor must install this recep-
tacle in accordance with Article 680-6 of the National
Electrical Code (NEC). A Ground Fault Interrupter
(GFCI) must be used. An ON/OFF Switch must be
installed at the receptacle.
Use a Hubbell No. 2310 Receptacle, 20 AMP 125 Volt
A.C. or an equivalent receptalcle that meets NEMA
Configuration L5-20R.
This pump is double insulated and grounded. Dead
metal parts are not in contact with pool water.
CAUTION
1.
DO NOT install the pump on a deck, it could fall into the
water, causing severe electrical shock. Do not install on
any surface at, above, or slightly below the top rail of the
pool.
2. DO NOT allow children or adults to climb, sit, or stand on
the pump unit. They could easily fall. Position the filter
and pump approximately 6 feet from the pool wall so they
may not be used as steps by children.
3. Always keep the water level in your pool between the water
level markers on the skimmer face plate. If the pump is run
with water level too low, the pump seal may overheat and
cause permanent damage to the pump.
4. Your Powerline pump must sit in it's pump base, on
a patio block, or on any firm surface that slightly
elevates the pump off the ground. This keeps water
away from the motor and prevents the vents of the
Power Pak from becoming blocked, which could
cause the motor to overheat.
SUCTION AND DISCHARGE CONNECTIONS
Your Powerline pump is provided with two union socket
connections for hard plumbing to 1-1/2" PVC pipe or flex
pipe and two union hose adaptors for connecting to 1-1/2"
inside diameter hose. Install o-ring into groove on end of
the body outlets, then position either the union socket or
hose adaptor and secure in place with the union nut.
