To reduce the risk of electric shock replace damaged cord immediately. DO NOT bury cord. Locate cord
to prevent abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and other equipment.
Risk of Electric Shock. Connect only to a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter
(GFCI). Contact only to a electrician if you cannot verify that the receptacles is protected by a GFCI.
Failure to bond pump to pool structure will increase risk for electrocution and could result in injury or death.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, see installation instructions and consult a professional electrician on
how to bond pump. Also, contact a licensed electrician for information on local electrical codes for bonding
requirements.
Use a solid copper conductor, size 8 or larger. Run a continuous wire from external bonding lug to reinforcing
rod or mesh. Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) solid copper bonding wire to the pressure wire connector
provided on the motor housing and to all metal parts of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, and to all electrical
equipment, metal piping (except gas piping), and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5m) of inside walls of swimming
pool, spa, or hot tub.
IMPORTANT - Reference NEC codes for all wiring standards including, but not limited to, grounding,
bonding and other general wiring procedures.
NOTE - The National Electrical Code (NEC) permits use of a cord with a maximum 3 ft. (1 m) length. If
your pump is equipped with a cord complying with the NEC
DO NOT install within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt of a hot tub or spa.
Suction Entrapment Hazard: Suction in suction outlets and/or suction outlet covers, which are
damaged, broken, cracked, missing or unsecured cause severe injury and/or death due to the
following entrapment hazards:
Hair Entrapment- Hair can become entangled in suction outlet cover.
Limb Entrapment- A limb inserted into an opening of a suction outlet sump or suction outlet cover that is
damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached can result in a mechanical bind or swelling
of the limb.
Body Suction Entrapment- A pressure applied to a large portion of the body or limbs can result in an
entrapment.
Evisceration/ Disembowelment- A negative pressure applied directly to the intestines through an
unprotected suction outlet sump or suction outlet cover which is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or
unsecured can result in evisceration/disembowelment.
Mechanical Entrapment- There is potential for jewelry, swimsuits, hair decorations, ngers, toes, or
knuckles to be caught in an opening of a suction outlet cover resulting in mechanical entrapment.
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’) [0.91 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 values shown in the “Pipe Sizing Chart” found at
this manual.
- 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.
- Installation of a vacuum release or vent system, which relieves entrapping suction, is recommended.
Pump MUST be permanently connected to circuit. If other lights or appliances are also on the same
circuit, be sure to add their amp loads before calculating wire and circuit breaker sizes. Use the load circuit
breaker as the Master On-Off switch.
