WARNING - Read and follow all instructions in this owner’s manual and on
the equipment. Failure to follow instructions can cause severe injury and/or death.
WARNING – Suction Entrapment Hazard. Suction in suction outlets and/or suction outlet
covers which are, damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured can 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 negative 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, swimsuit, hair decorations, finger, toe or
knuckle to be caught in an opening of a suction outlet cover resulting in mechanical entrapment.
WARNING - To Reduce the risk of Entrapment Hazards:
o 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. floor or
wall), must be installed a minimum of three feet (3’) [1 meter] apart, as measured from near
point to near point.
o Dual suction fittings shall be placed in such locations and distances to avoid “dual
blockage” by a user.
o Dual suction fittings shall not be located on seating areas or on the backrest for such
seating areas.
o The maximum system flow rate shall not exceed the flow rating of as listed on Table 1.
o Never use Pool or Spa if any suction outlet component is damaged, broken, cracked,
missing, or not securely attached.
o Replace damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached suction outlet
components immediately.
o In addition two or more suction outlets per pump installed in accordance with latest ASME,
APSP Standards and CPSC guidelines, follow all National, State, and Local codes applicable.
o Installation of a vacuum release or vent system, which relieves entrapping suction, is
recommended.
WARNING – 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.
WARNING – 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.
WARNING – Suction outlet components have a finite 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.
CAUTION – Components such as the filtration system, pumps and heater must be
positioned so as to prevent their being used as means of access to the pool by young children.
To reduce risk of injury, do not permit children to use or climb on this product. Closely supervise
children at all times. Components such as the filtration system, pumps, and heaters must be
positioned to prevent children from using them as a means of access to the pool.

WARNING – Hazardous Pressure. Pool and spa water circulation systems operate under
hazardous pressure during start up, normal operation, and after pump shut off. 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 filter 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 off position and filter 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 filter control valve position while system pump is running. Before starting system pump,
fully open filter manual air relief valve. Do not close filter manual air relief valve until a steady stream
of water (not air or air and water) is discharged.
WARNING – Separation Hazard. Failure to follow safety and operation instructions could
result in violent separation of pump and/or filter components. Strainer cover must be properly
secured to pump housing with strainer cover lock ring. Before servicing pool and spa circulation
system, filters 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 filter manual air relief valve body is in locked position
in filter upper body. Never operate or test the circulation system at more than 50 PSI. Do not
purge the system with compressed air. Purging the system with compressed air can cause
components to explode, with risk of severe injury or death to anyone nearby. Use only a low pressure
(below 5 PSI), high volume blower when air purging the pump, filter, or piping.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock. All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with
applicable local codes, regulations, and the National Electric Code (NEC). Hazardous voltage can
shock, burn, and cause death or serious property damage. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do
NOT use an extension cord to connect unit to electric supply. Provide a properly located electrical
receptacle. Before working on any electrical equipment, turn off power supply to the equipment. To
reduce the risk of electric shock replace damaged wiring immediately. Locate conduit to prevent
abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and other equipment. Do NOT ground to a gas supply line.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock Failure to ground all electrical equipment can cause
serious or fatal electrical shock hazard. Electrical ground all electrical equipment before connecting
to electrical power supply.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock Failure to bond all electrical equipment 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 all
electrical equipment. Also, contact a licensed electrician for information on local electrical codes for
bonding requirements.
Notes to electrician: 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) [No. 6 AWG (13.3
mm2) for Canada] solid copper bonding wire to the pressure wire connector provided on the electrical
equipment and to all metal parts of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, and metal piping (except gas
piping), and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) 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.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock . The electrical equipment 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 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 electrical
equipment without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the
possibility of an electrical shock. Do not use this electrical equipment. Disconnect the electrical
equipment and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
CAUTION – HAYWARD
may be used with hot tubs and spas if so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanentlyinstalled 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.
