READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

Section 1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to all national, state, and local codes.
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
WARNING
In order to reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use
this product.
To reduce the risk of property damage or injury, do not attempt to
change the backwash (multiport, slide, or full flow) valve position
with the pump running.
Polaris pumps are powered by a high voltage electric motor and
must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified
swimming pool service technician.
WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE, PERSONAL INJURY,
OR DEATH. Connect only to a branch circuit that is protected
by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified
electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a
GFCI. Make sure such a GFCI should be provided by the installer
and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push
the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset
button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in
this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to
the pump without the test button being pushed, a ground current is
flowing, indicating the possibility of electrical shock. Do not use the
pump. Disconnect the pump and have the problem corrected by a
qualified service representative before using.
Due to the potential risk of fire, electric shock, or injuries to
persons, Polaris Pumps must be installed in accordance with the
National Electrical Code (NEC
®
codes, and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA
Copies of the NEC may be ordered from the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA
®
617-770-3000, or contact your local government inspection agency.
Incorrectly installed equipment may fail, causing severe injury or
property damage.
WARNING
• Do not connect the system to an unregulated city water
system or other external source of pressurized water producing
pressures greater than 35 PSI.
• Incorrectly installed equipment may fail, causing severe injury
or property damage.

Installation and Operation Manual
• Trapped air in system can cause the filter lid to be blown
off, which can result in death, serious personal injury, or property
damage. Be sure all air is out of the system before operating.
To minimize the risk of severe injury or death, the filter and/or pump
should not be subjected to the piping system pressurization test.
Local codes may require the pool piping system to be subjected to
a pressure test. These requirements are generally not intended to
apply to the pool equipment such as filters or pumps.
Polaris pool equipment is pressure tested at the factory.
However, if the WARNING cannot be followed and pressure testing
of the piping system must include the filter and/or pump, BE SURE
TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
Check all clamps, bolts, lids, lock rings and system accessories to
ensure they are properly installed and secured before testing.
RELEASE ALL AIR in the system before testing.
Water pressure for test must NOT EXCEED 35 PSI.
Water temperature for test must NOT EXCEED 100°F (38°C).
Limit test to 24 hours. After test, visually check system to be sure it
is ready for operation.
NOTICE: These parameters apply to Polaris equipment only. For
non-Polaris equipment, consult equipment manufacturer.
Chemical spills and fumes can weaken pool/spa equipment.
Corrosion can cause filters and other equipment to fail, resulting in
severe injury or property damage. Do not store pool chemicals near
your equipment.
Do not start pump dry! Running the pump dry for any length of time
will cause severe damage and will void the warranty.
This pump is for use with permanently installed pools and may
also be used with hot tubs and spas if so marked. Do not use
with storable pools. A permanently installed pool is constructed
in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily
disassembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it
may be readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its
original integrity.
Do not install within an outdoor enclosure or beneath the skirt of
a hot tub or portable spa. The pump requires adequate ventilation
to maintain air temperature at less than the maximum ambient
temperature rating listed on the motor rating plate.
