PUMP WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For Pool and Spa Pumps (Non SVRS Pumps)
(Pentair Water Pool and Spa®, Sta-Rite®, and Pentair Pool Products®)
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, include the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product.
Risk of Electrical 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.
This unit 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 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 this pump. Disconnect the pump and have the problem corrected by a
qualified service representative before using.
This pump is for use with permanent swimming 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 constructed so that it is capable of being readily disassem-
bled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity.
General Warnings
• Never open the inside of the drive motor enclosure. There is a capacitor bank that holds a 230
VAC charge even when there is no power to the unit.
• The pump is not submersible.
• The pump is capable of high flow rates; use caution when installing and programming to limit
pumps performance potential with old or questionable equipment.
• Code requirements for the electrical connection differ from state to state. Install equipment in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.
• Before servicing the pump; press the Stop button and disconnect the communication cable,
then switch OFF power to the pump by disconnecting the main circuit to the pump.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) of reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product.
