Attention Installer: This manual contains important information about the installation, operation and safe use of this product. This information should be given to the owner and/or operator of this equipment.

Manual background WARNING Before installing this product, read and follow all warning notices and instructions which are included. Failure to follow safety warnings and instructions can result in severe injury, death, or property damage. Call (800) 831-7133 for additional free copies of these instructions.

Manual background WARNING Entrapment Avoidance Notice:

The suction outlet connected to a swimming pool or spa pump can pull a high vacuum if it is blocked. Therefore, if only one suction outlet smaller than 18" x 23" is used, anyone blocking the suction outlet with their body can be trapped and held against the suction outlet. Disembowelment or drowning can result. Therefore, if small suction outlets are used with this pump, to prevent this entrapment and possible death, install at least two suction outlets in the body of water. Separate these suction outlets as described in the International Residential Code (IRC), the International Business Code (IBC), the Consumer Products Safety Council (CPSC) Guidelines for Entrapment Hazards: Making Pools and Spas Safer or ANSI/IAF-7 Standard for Suction Entrapment Avoidance in Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs and Catch Basins. If suction outlets are not used, additional entrapment avoidance measures as described in the CPSC Guidelines or ANSI/IAF-7 should be employed.

The covers used on suction outlets should be approved and listed as conforming to the currently published edition of ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 Standard covering Suction Fittings for Use in Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, Spas and Hot Tubs. These covers should be inspected regularly and replaced if cracked, broken or older than the design lifetime indicated on them by the manufacturer. The maximum possible flow rate of this pump should be less than or equal to the maximum approved flow rate indicated on the suction outlet cover by the manufacturer.THE USE OF UNAPPROVED COVERS OR ALLOWING USE OF THE POOL OR SPA WHEN COVERS ARE CRACKED OR BROKEN CAN RESULT IN HAIR ENTANGLEMENT WHICH CAN RESULT IN DEATH.

Manual background WARNING — Risk of electrical shock or electrocution.

This pool pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool serviceman in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper installation will create an electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury to pool users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property.

Always disconnect power to the pool pump at the circuit breaker before servicing the pump. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to serviceman, pool users or others due to electric shock.
