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and/ordeathduetothefol-
lowingentrapmenthazards:
Hair Entrapment-Haircanbecomeentangledinsuctionoutlets.
Limb Entrapment-Alimbinsertedintoanopeningofasuctionoutlet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differentialpressureappliedtoalargeportionofthebodyorlimbscan
resultinanentrapment.
Evisceration/ Disembowelment-Avacuum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,nger,toeorknuck-
letobecaughtinanopeningofasuctionoutletorsuctionoutletcoverresultinginmechanicalentrap-
ment.
WARNING-Toreducetheriskofentrapmenthazards:
• Whensuctionoutletsarelessthana18”x23”equivalent,aminimumoftwofunction-
ingsuctionoutletsperpumpmustbeinstalled.Suctionoutletsinthesameplane(i.e.
oororwall),mustbeinstalledaminimumofthreefeet(3’)[1meter]apart,asmea-
suredfromnearpointtonearpoint.
• Dualsuctionoutletsshallbeplacedinsuchlocationsanddistancestoavoid“dual
blockage”byauser.
• Dualsuctionttingsshallnotbelocatedonseatingareasoronthebackrestforsuch
seatingareas.
• Themaximumsystemowrateshallnotexceedtheowratingofanylisted(percurrentrevisionof
ASME/ANSIA112.19.8)suctionoutletcoverinstalled.
• NeverusethePoolorSpaifanysuctionoutletcomponentisdamaged,broken,cracked,missing,or
notsecurelyattached.
• Replacedamaged,broken,cracked,missing,ornotsecurelyattachedsuctionoutletcomponentsim-
mediately.
• InstalltwoormoresuctionoutletsperpumpinaccordancewithlatestAPSP(formallyNSPI)Stan-
dardsandCPSCguidelines.FollowallapplicableNational,State,andLocalcodes.
