Operating Guide

To Reduce the risk of Entrapment Hazards:

• When outlets are small enough to be blocked by a person, a minimum of two functioning 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 measured from near point to near point.

• Dual suction ttings 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 as listed on Table 1.

• Never use 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

immediately.

• Install two or more suction outlets per pump in accordance with latest ASME, APSP Standards and CPSC

guidelines. Follow all applicable National, State, and Local codes.

• Installation of a vacuum release or vent system, which relieves entrapping suction, is recommended.

Failure to remove pressure test plugs and/or plugs used in winterization of the pool/spa

from the suction outlets can result in an increase potential for suction entrapment as

described above.

Failure to keep suction outlet components clear of debris, such as leaves, dirt, hair, paper

and other material can result in an increase potential for suction entrapment as described

above.

Suction outlet components have a nite life. The cover/grate should be inspected

frequently and replaced at least every ten years or if found to be damaged, broken,

cracked, missing, or not securely attached.

Components such as the ltration system, pumps and heater must be positioned so as to

prevent their being used as means of access to the pool by young children.

Never operate or test the circulation system at more than 50 PSI.

Never change the lter control valve position while the pump is running.

To reduce risk of injury, do not permit children to use or climb on this product. Closely

supervise children at all times.

Hazardous Pressure. Pool and spa water circulation systems operate under hazardous

pressure during start up, normal operation, and after pump shut o󰀨. Stand clear of

circulation system equipment during pump start up. Failure to follow safety and operation instructions could

result in violent separation of the pump housing and cover, and/or lter housing and clamp due to pressure in

the system, which could cause property damage, severe personal injury, or death. Before servicing pool and

spa water circulation system, all system and pump controls must be in o󰀨 position and lter manual air relief

valve must be in open position. Before starting system pump, all system valves must be set in a position to

allow system water to return back to the pool. Do not change lter control valve position while system pump is

running. Before starting system pump, fully open lter manual air relief valve. Do not close lter manual air

relief valve until a steady stream of water (not air or air and water) is discharged.

Separation Hazard. Failure to follow safety and operation instructions could result in

violent separation of pump and/or lter components. Strainer cover must be properly

secured to pump housing with strainer cover lock ring. Before servicing pool and spa circulation system, lters

manual air relief valve must be in open position. Do not operate pool and spa circulation system if a system

component is not assembled properly, damaged, or missing. Do not operate pool and spa circulation system

unless lter manual air relief valve body is in locked position in lter upper body.
