Hazardous Suction.
Can trap hair or body,
causing severe injury
or death.
• Do not block suction.
• Keep small children
under close adult
supervision at all times.
4078 1001 IG
• This pump produces high levels of suction and
creates a strong vacuum at the main drain at the
bottom of your pool or spa. This suction is so strong
that it can trap adults or children under water if they
come in close proximity to a pool or spa drain or a
loose or broken drain cover or grate.
• Stay off the main drain and away from all
suction outlets!
Risk of suction entrapment . The use of
unapproved covers or allowing use of the pool or
spa when covers are missing, cracked or broken can
result in body or limb entrapment,
hair entanglement, body entrapment,
evisceration and/or death .
The suction at a pool or spa drain or
outlet can cause:
Limb Entrapment: When a limb is sucked
or inserted into an opening resulting in a
mechanical bind or swelling. This hazard
is present when a drain cover is missing,
broken, loose, cracked or not properly
secured.
Hair Entanglement: When the hair tangles
or knots in the drain cover, trapping the
swimmer underwater. This hazard is
present when the flow rating of the cover
is too small for the pump or pumps.
Body Entrapment: When a portion of
the body is held against the drain cover
trapping the swimmer underwater. This
hazard is present when the drain cover is
missing, broken or the cover flow rating is
not high enough for the pump or pumps.
Evisceration/Disembowelment: When a
person sits on an open pool (particularly
a child wading pool) or spa outlet and
suction is applied directly to the intestines,
causing severe intestinal damage.
This hazard is present when the drain
cover is missing, loose, cracked, or not
properly secured.
Mechanical Entrapment: When jewelry,
swimsuit, hair decorations, finger, toe or knuckle is
caught in an opening of an outlet or drain cover. This
hazard is present when the drain cover is missing,
broken, loose, cracked, or not properly secured.
NOTICE all suction plumbing must be installed in
accordance with the latest national and local codes
for swimming pools, spas and hot tubs, including NSPI
standards and CPSC guidelines.
