WARNING – Suction outlet components have a finite life, the cover/grate should be inspected
frequently and replaced at least every ten years or if found to be damaged, broken, cracked, miss-
ing, or not securely attached.
CAUTION – Components such as the filtration system, pumps and heater must be positioned so
as to prevent their being used as means of access to the pool by young children. To reduce risk
of injury, do not permit children to use or climb on this product. Closely supervise children at all
times. Components such as the filtration system, pumps, and heaters must be positioned to pre-
vent children from using them as a means of access to the pool.
WARNING – Hazardous Pressure Pool and spa water circulation systems operate under hazard-
ous pressure during start up, normal operation, and after pump shut off. Stand clear of circulation
system equipment during pump start up. Failure to follow safety and operation instructions could
result in violent separation of the pump housing and cover, and/or filter housing and clamp due to
pressure in the system, which could cause property damage, severe personal injury, or death. Be-
fore servicing pool and spa water circulation system, all system and pump controls must be in off
position and filter manual air relief valve must be in open position. Before starting system pump,
all system valves must be set in a position to allow system water to return back to the pool. Do not
change filter control valve position while system pump is running. Before starting system pump,
fully open filter manual air relief valve. Do not close filter manual air relief valve until a steady
stream of water (not air or air and water) is discharged.
WARNING – Separation Hazard Failure to follow safety and operation instructions could result
in violent separation of pump and/or filter components. Strainer cover must be properly secured
to pump housing with strainer cover lock ring. Before servicing pool and spa circulation system,
filters manual air relief valve must be in open position. Do not operate pool and spa circulation
system if a system component is not assembled properly, damaged, or missing. Do not operate
pool and spa circulation system unless filter manual air relief valve body is in locked position in
filter upper body. Never operate or test the circulation system at more than 50 PSI. Do not purge
the system with compressed air. Purging the system with compressed air can cause components
to explode, with risk of severe injury or death to anyone nearby. Use only a low pressure (below 5
PSI), high volume blower when air purging the pump, filter, or piping.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with applicable
local codes, regulations, and the National Electric Code (NEC). Hazardous voltage can shock, burn,
and cause death or serious property damage. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do NOT use an
extension cord to connect unit to electric supply. Provide a properly located electrical receptacle.
Before working on any electrical equipment, turn off power supply to the equipment. To reduce
the risk of electric shock replace damaged wiring immediately. Locate conduit to prevent abuse
from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and other equipment. Do NOT ground to a gas supply line.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock Failure to ground all electrical equipment can cause serious
or fatal electrical shock hazard. Electrical ground all electrical equipment before connecting to
electrical power supply.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock Failure to bond all electrical equipment to pool structure will
increase risk for electrocution and could result in injury or death. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, see installation instructions and consult a professional electrician on how to bond all elec-
trical equipment. Also, contact a licensed electrician for information on local electrical codes for
bonding requirements.
Notes to electrician: Use a solid copper conductor, size 8 or larger. Run a continuous wire from
external bonding lug to reinforcing rod or mesh. Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) [No. 6 AWG
(13.3 mm2) for Canada] solid copper bonding wire to the pressure wire connector provided on the
electrical equipment and to all metal parts of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, and metal piping (ex-
cept gas piping), and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.
IMPORTANT - Reference NEC codes for all wiring standards including, but not limited to, ground-
ing, bonding and other general wiring procedures.
