WARNING
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK - The pump cannot be using while
people are inside the pool.
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, do not permit children to use this
product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
WARNING - RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Connect only to a grounding type
receptacle. This product is provided with a ground-fault circuit-interrupter. If replacement of the
plug is needed, use only identical replacement parts.
WARNING: The unit is provided with a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). 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.
CAUTION - To reduce the risk of electric shock the pool must be installed no closer
than 6 feet (1.8 m) from any electrical outlet. Do not place portable appliances closer than 5
feet (1.5 m) from the pool.
WARNING: The pump is not intended to be bonded to the equipotential bonding
grid.
DO NOT BURY CORD. Locate cord to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers,
and other equipment.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of electric shock, IF FILTER PUMP POWER CORD
BECOMES DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, THE PUMP MUST BE DISCARDED.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use extension cord to
connect unit to electric supply; provide a properly located outlet.
CAUTION - This pump is for use with storable pools only. Do not use with
permanently-installed pools. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being readily
disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity. A permanently-installed
pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily
disassembled for storage.
CAUTION - For continued protection against possible electric shock this unit is to be
mounted to the base in accordance with the installation instructions.
IMPORTANT - Using the pump with an unmatched electrical supply is dangerous
and will result in catastrophic failure of pump.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK - When working with electricity, turn the electrical power off at
the circuit breaker and lock breaker door. Failure to do so will result in increased risk of shock,
injury and possibly death.
