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.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of electric shock replace damaged wiring immediately. Locate conduit to prevent abuse
from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and other equipment.
WARNING –Electrical ground all electrical equipment before connecting to electrical power supply. Failure to ground all
electrical equipment can cause serious or fatal electrical shock hazard.
WARNING –Do NOT ground to a gas supply line.
WARNING – To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock, turn OFF power to all electrical equipment before working on
electrical connections.
WARNING – 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 electrical 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 (except 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, grounding, bonding and other general
wiring procedures.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock. Connect only to a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI).
Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock . The electrical equipment must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected
by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine
basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push 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 electrical equipment without the
test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electrical shock. Do not use this electrical
equipment. Disconnect the electrical equipment and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before
using.
CAUTION – This pump is intended for use with permanently-installed pools and may 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 is capable of being readily
disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.
