IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
1) READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
2) WARNING – To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are
closely supervised at all times.
3) WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock. Connect only to a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-
interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI.
4) The unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI). 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
an electric shock. Do not use this pump. Disconnect the pump and have the problem corrected by a
qualified service representative before using it.
5) WARNING – To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace the damaged cord immediately.
6) CAUTION – 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 it 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 is capable of being readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original
integrity.
7) Do not install within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt of a hot tub or spa.
8) A solid copper bonding conductor not smaller than 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) shall be connected from the
accessible wire connector on the motor to all metal parts of the swimming pool, spa, or hot tub structure
and to all electrical equipment, metal conduit, and metal piping within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the inside walls of
a swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, when the motor is installed within 5 feet of the inside walls of the
swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.
9) For Use With Swimming Pools, Hot Tubs, and Spas.
10) CAUTION: This Pump is for Use with Permanently-Installed Pools Only – Do Not Use with Storable
Pools.
11) CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, install at least 6 feet from the inside walls of a pool. Do
not use an extension cord.
