SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING – Read, Understand, and Follow all instructions in this manual and on the equipment.
Failure to follow instructions can cause severe injury and/or death.
WARNING – Suction Entrapment Hazard.
Suction in suction outlets and/or suction outlet covers which are damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured
can cause severe injury or death due to the following entrapment hazards:
Hair Entrapment- Hair can become entangled in suction outlet cover.
Limb Entrapment- A limb inserted into an opening of a suction outlet sump or suction outlet cover that is damaged,
broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached can result in a mechanical bind or swelling of the limb.
Body Suction Entrapment- A negative pressure applied to a large portion of the body or limbs can result in an
entrapment.
Evisceration/ Disembowelment - A negative pressure applied directly to the intestines through an unprotected
suction outlet sump or suction outlet cover which is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured can result in
evisceration/disembowelment.
Mechanical Entrapment- There is potential for jewelry, swimsuit, hair decorations, finger, toe or knuckle to be caught
in an opening of a suction outlet cover resulting in mechanical entrapment.
WARNING - To Reduce the risk of Entrapment Hazards:
o When outlets are small enough to be blocked by a person, a minimum of two functioning suction outlets per pump
must be installed. Suction outlets in the same plane (i.e. floor or wall), must be installed a minimum of three feet (3’)
[1 meter] apart, as measured from near point to near point.
o Dual suction fittings shall be placed in such locations and distances to avoid “dual blockage” by a user.
o Dual suction fittings shall not be located on seating areas or on the backrest for such seating areas.
o The maximum system flow rate shall not exceed the flow rating as listed in TABLE1: SPECIFICATIONS.
o Never use Pool or Spa if any suction outlet component is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely
attached.
o Replace damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached suction outlet components immediately.
o Install two or more suction outlets per pump in accordance with latest ASME, APSP Standards and CPSC
guidelines. Follow all applicable National, State, and Local codes.
o Installation of a vacuum release or vent system, which relieves entrapping suction, is recommended.
WARNING – Failure to remove pressure test plugs and/or plugs used in winterization of the pool/spa from the
suction outlets can result in an increase potential for suction entrapment as described above.
WARNING – Failure to keep suction outlet components clear of debris, such as leaves, dirt, hair, paper and other
material can result in an increase potential for suction entrapment as described above.
