IMPORTANT PUMP WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: ALL SUCTION PLUMBING MUST BE INSTALLED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LATEST CODES, STANDARDS
AND GUIDELINES.
To minimize the risk of injury due to
WARNING
suction entrapment hazard:
• Each suction cover must be installed at least 1m
apart, as measured from the nearest point to near-
est point.
• Regularly inspect all covers for cracks, damage and
advanced weathering.
• If a cover becomes loose, cracked, damaged, bro-
ken or is missing, replace with an appropriate cer-
tified cover.
• Replace drain covers as necessary. Drain covers
deteriorate over time due to exposure to sunlight
and weather.
• Avoid getting hair, limbs or body in close proximity
to any suction cover, pool drain or outlet.
• Disable suction outlets or reconfigure into return
inlets.
For installation of electrical controls at equipment pad (ON/OFF Switches, Timers and Automation Load Center):
Install all electrical controls at equipment pad, such as ON/OFF switches, timers and control

systems to allow the operation (startup, shut-down or servicing) of any pump or filter so the
user does not place any portion of his/her body over or near the pump strainer lid, filter lid of
valve closures. This installation should allow the user enough space to stand clear of the filter
and pump during system start-up, shut down or servicing of the system filter.
HAZARDOUS PRESSURE: STAND
DANGER
CLEAR OF PUMP AND FILTER DURING
START UP
Circulation systems operate under
high pressure. When any part of the
circulating system (i.e. locking ring,
pump, filter, valves, etc.) is serviced,
air can enter the system and become pressurized.
Pressurized air can cause the pump housing cover, filter
lid and valves to violently separate which can result in
severe personal injury or death. filter tank lid and strainer
cover must be properly secured to prevent violent
separation. Stand clear of all circulation system
equipment when turning on or starting the pump.
Before servicing equipment, make note of the filter
pressure. Be sure that all controls are set to ensure the
system cannot inadvertently start during service. Turn of
all power to the pump. IMPORTANT: Place filter manual air

used in applications other than for
which the pump was intended can result in severe
personal injury or death.
These risks may include but not limited to electric shock,
fire, flooding, suction entrapment or severe injury or
property damage caused by a structural failure of the
pump or other system component.
The pump can produce high levels of

suction within the suction side of the
plumbing system. These high levelof suction can pose a
risk if a person comes within the close proximity of the
suction
openings. A person can be seriously injured by this high
level of vacuum or may become trapped and drown. It is
absolutly critical that the suction plumbing be installed
in accordance with the latest national and local codes for
swimming pools.
relief valve in the open position and wait for all pressure
in the system to be relieved.
Before starting the system, fully open the manual air relief
valve and place all system valves in the "open" position to
allow water to flow freely from the tank and back to the
tank. Stand clear of all equipment and start the pump.
IMPORTANT: Do not close filter manual air relief valve
until all pressure has been discharged from the valve and
a steady stream of water appears. Observe filter pressure
gauge and be sure it is not higher than the pre-service
condition.
