i WARNING - To Reduce the risk of Entrapment Hazards:
9. When inlets are small enough to be blocked by a person, a minimum of two functioning suction inlets per pump must be
installed. Suction inlets in the same plane (i.e. floor or wall), must be installed a minimum of three feet (3’) [0.91 meter]
apart, as measured from near point to near point.
- Dual suction fittings shall be placed in such locations and distance to avoid “dual blockage” by a user.
- Dual suction fittings shall not be located on seating areas or on the backrest for such seating areas.
- The maximum system flow rate shall not exceed the values shown in the “Pipe Sizing Chart” found in this manual.
- Never use pool if any component in the suction inlet is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached.
- Replace immediately damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or loose components in the suction inlet.
- Installation of a vacuum release or vent system, which relieves entrapping suction, is recommended.
i WARNING - Hazardous Pressure
10. Pool water circulation systems operate under hazardous pressure during start-up, normal operation, and after pump
shut-off. Stand clear of circulation system equipment during pump start-up. Failure to follow safety and operation
instructions could result in violent separation of the pump housing and cover due to pressure in the system, which could
cause property damage, severe personal injury, or death. Before servicing pool water circulation system, all system and pump
controls must be in off position and the filter manual air relief valve (only available on cartridge filters) must be in open
position. Before starting system pump, all system valves must be set in a position to allow system water to return back to the
pool. Do not change filter control valve position while system pump is running. Before starting pump, fully open filter manual
air relief valve (only available on cartridge filters). Do not close filter manual air relief valve until a steady stream of water (not
air or air and water) is discharged. All suction and discharge valves MUST be OPENED when starting the circulation system.
Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury and/or property damage.
i WARNING - Separation Hazard
11. Failure to follow safety and operation instructions could result in violent separation of pump components. Strainer cover
must be properly secured to pump housing with strainer cover lock ring. Before servicing pool circulation system, all system
and pump controls must be on off position and filter manual air relief valve (only available on cartridge filters) must be in
open position. Do not operate pool circulation system if a system component is not assembled properly, damaged, or missing.
Do not operate pool circulation system unless filter air relief valve body is in locked position in filter upper body. All suction
and discharge valves MUST be OPENED when starting the circulation system. Failure to do so could result in severe personal
injury and/or property damage.
12. Never operate or test the circulation system at more than 40 PSI.
i WARNING - Fire and burn hazard
13. Motors operate at high temperatures and if they are not properly isolated from any flammable structures or foreign debris
they can cause fires, which may cause severe personal injury or death. It is also necessary to allow the motor to cool for at
least 20 minutes prior to maintenance to minimize the risk for burns.
