Before installation, be sure to read all instructions and warnings carefully.
Refer to product dataplate(s) for additional operation instruction and
specifications.
INSPECTION
Examine the equipment when received. Notify your dealer or carrier of any
damage or missing parts. Verify that equipment is of size and model specified.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
RISK OF SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD
WARNING!
WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Pumps can quickly generate high suction, which poses the risk of
entrapment if improperly connected to suction outlets. Disembowelment,
entrapment, or drowning is possible when body parts or hair contact
damaged, cracked, missing, or unsecured drain covers and suction outlets.
Pumps and fittings shall be installed in accordance with the latest NSPI
or IAF standards, CPSC guidelines, and national, state and local codes, to
minimize this risk. Some of those requirements are as follows. Always
consult the latest regulations to ensure that your installation meets the
necessary requirements to minimize suction entrapment.
1. All fully submerged Suction Outlet Covers shall be listed to
ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 standard.
2. Do not use a pump in an installation where there is only one fully
submerged single suction outlet.
3. If main drains are installed in your pool, there must be a minimum of two
for each pumping system, and each drain must include a Listed Suction
Outlet Cover. Wading pools may have additional requirements to minimize
entrapment hazards.
4. Skimmers may supply 100% of the required flow to the pump, and must
be vented to atmosphere. A skimmer is not considered a second main
drain.
5. When two suction outlets are used, the maximum system flow rate shall
not exceed the rating of any one of the listed suction outlet covers
installed. When more than two are used, the sum of the ratings shall be at
least twice the maximum system flow rate.
6. Each Suction Outlet Cover shall be separated by a minimum of three feet
(3'), measured from center of suction pipes.
7. Avoid installing check valves. If check valves must be used, ensure that
the installation conforms to applicable standards.
8. Never use the pool or spa if a Suction Outlet Cover is damaged, cracked,
missing, or not securely attached. Suction outlet cover must be attached
with stainless steel screws supplied with the cover. If screws are lost,
order replacement parts from your supplier.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTION
To reduce risk of injury, do not permit children
WARNING!
to use this product unless they are closely
supervised at all times.
WARNING!
(For cord & plug connected units) Risk of
Electric Shock. Connect only to a grounding
type receptacle protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Contact a
qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the receptacle is protected by a GFCI.
WARNING!
(For cord & plug connected units) Do not bury
cord. Locate cord to minimize abuse from lawn
mowers, hedge trimmers and other equipment.
WARNING!
(For cord & plug connected units) To reduce
the risk of electric shock, replace damaged
cord immediately.
(For hot tub and spa pumps) Do not install
WARNING!
within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt
of the hot tub or spa, unless so marked.
WARNING!
(For cord & plug connected units) To reduce
the risk of electric shock, do not use an exten-
sion cord to connect unit to electric supply; provide a properly located outlet.
WARNING!
Locate the pump at least five feet (1.5M) from
the pool to prevent it being used as a means of
access to the pool by young children. (See ANSI/NSPI-8 1996 "Model Barrier
Code For Residential Swimming Pools, Spas and Hot Tubs".)
(For Swimming pool pumps intended for use
CAUTION!
with permanent swimming pools or spas) this
pump is for use with pemanently-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 contructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot
be readily dissassembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it is
capable of being readily diassembled for storage and reassembled to its original
integrity
WARNING!
(For all permanently-installed units intended
for use on 15 or 20 ampere, 125 through 240
volts, single phase branch circuits) The unit must be connected only to a supply
circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such 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 GCI fails to operate in this manner, the
GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrups 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 cor-
rected by a qualified service representative before using.
INSTALLATION LOCATION
Locate the pump as close to pool/spa as possible, but keep at a minimum
distance of five feet (1.5M). (See previous Warning.) Locate the pump
preferably in a dry, well ventilated area away from direct sunlight. It should
be on a hard, level surface. Give consideration to: drainage-away from pump,
ventilation of pump motor, access for future servicing and winterizing, and
protection from the elements. Pumps without strainer bodies are designed for
flooded suction (all suction fittings and suction piping below water level) and
will not self-prime. Consequently, the pump must be installed at an elevation
that is below water level when pool or spa is filled; however, if suction line
valves are installed, the pump may be located above the water level since the
valve can be closed for priming. Keep vertical distance to a minimum if you
choose to mount pump above water level. Pumps with strainer bodies are
self-priming but should be mounted as close to the water level as possible or
below for ease in priming.
