a.Do NOT attempt to adjust or service without consulting your dealer, professional pool or air conditioning contractor.

b.Read the entire Installation & User’s Guide before attempting to use, service or adjust the heater or pool filtering system. The water pressure switch should be adjusted to turn the heater off when the pump is off. Setting the switch to close at too low of a flow can damage the appliance. Adjust the switch to turn the heater off, not on.

Note: Turn off power to unit prior to attempting service or repair. Problems and Corrective Action
