IMPORTANT NOTICE
IMPORTANT PUMP WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
General Warnings
• Never open the inside of the drive motor enclosure. There is a
capacitor bank that holds a 230 VAC charge even when there is no
power to the unit.
• The pump is not submersible.
• The pump is capable of high flow rates; use caution when installing
and programming to limit pumps performance potential with old or
questionable equipment.
• Code requirements for the electrical connection differ from state
to state. Install equipment in accordance with the current National
Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.
• Before servicing the pump; switch OFF power to the pump by
disconnecting the main circuit to the pump.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) of
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
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. It is absolutely critical that the suction
plumbing be installed in accordance with the latest national and local
codes for swimming pools.
These instructions contain information for a variety of pump models
and therefore some instructions may not apply to a specific model. All
models are intended for use in swimming pool applications. The pump
will function correctly only if it is properly sized to the specific application
and properly installed.
This pump produces high levels of suction, which
can pose extreme danger if a person comes in
close proximity to an open pool or spa drain or a loose or broken
drain cover or grate. The pump, when installed according to the
manufacturer’s instructions, is designed to help prevent injuries
caused by body entrapment in pools. This pump does not, however,
protect against limb entrapments, disembowelments (when a person
sits on a broken or uncovered pool drain) or hair entanglements.
This pump is not a substitute for properly
installed and secured pool drain covers. An
ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 approved anti-entrapment drain cover must
be used for each drain. Pools and spas should utilize two drains
per pump. If a drain cover becomes loose, broken or is missing,
close the pool or spa immediately and shut off the pump until an
approved anti-entrapment drain cover is properly installed with the
manufacturer’s supplied screws.
The SVRS (Safety Vacuum Release System)
feature of this pump is inactive during priming.
The SVRS feature is an integral part of a complete safety system.
During priming mode, the pump does not monitor blocked suction or
discharge system conditions. Swimmers should not be allowed in
the pool during the “inactive” SVRS mode. When “SVRS” text is not
displayed on the control panel screen, the SVRS system is disabled.
Entrapment Avoidance Notice:
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.
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 MISSING, CRACKED
OR BROKEN CAN RESULT IN BODY OR LIMB ENTRAPMENT, HAIR
ENTANGLEMENT, EVISCERATION AND DEATH.
The Virginia Graeme Baker (VGB) Pool and Spa Safety Act creates
new requirements for owners and operators of commercial swimming
pools and spas.
Commercial pools or spas constructed on or after December 19, 2008,
shall utilize:
(A) A multiple main drain system without isolation capability with suction
outlet covers that meet ASME/ANSI A112.19.8a Suction Fittings for
Use in Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, Spas, and Hot Tubs and either:
(i) A safety vacuum release system (SVRS) meeting ASME/ANSI
A112.19.17 Manufactured Safety Vacuum Release systems (SVRS)
for Residential and Commercial Swimming Pool, Spa, Hot Tub,
and Wading Pool Suction Systems and/or ASTM F2387 Standard
Specification for Manufactured Safety Vacuum Release Systems
(SVRS) for Swimming pools, Spas and Hot Tubs or
(ii) A properly designed and tested suction-limiting vent system or
(iii) An automatic pump shut-off system.
Commercial pools and spas constructed prior to December 19, 2008,
with a single submerged suction outlet shall use a suction outlet cover
that meets ASME/ANSI A112.19.8a and either:
(A) A SVRS meeting ASME/ANSI A112.19.17 and/or ASTM F2387, or
(B) A properly designed and tested suction-limiting vent system, or
(C) An automatic pump shut-off system, or
(D) Disabled submerged outlets, or
(E) Suction outlets shall be re-configured into return inlets.
