1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before installing or servicing this electrical equipment, turn power supply OFF.

Basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: Failure to follow instructions may result in
injury.

This is the safety-alert symbol. When you see this symbol on your spa blower or in this manual, look for one of

the following signal words, and be alert to the potential for personal injury.

WARNING warns about hazards that could cause serious personal injury, death or major property damage

and if ignored presents a potential hazard.

CAUTION warns about hazards that will or can cause minor or moderate personal injury and/or property

damage and if ignored presents a potential hazard. It can also make consumers aware of actions that are
unpredictable and unsafe.

The NOTICE label indicates special instructions that are important but not related to hazards.

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 – This product should be installed and serviced only by a qualified professional.

CAUTION – All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with all applicable local codes, regulations, and

the National Electric Code (NEC).

USE OF NON-HAYWARD REPLACEMENT PARTS VOIDS WARRANTY.

ATTENTION INSTALLER - THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE INSTALLATION,
OPERATION, AND SAFE USE OF THIS SPA BLOWER THAT MUST BE FURNISHED TO THE END USER OF THIS PRODUCT.
FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.

WARNING – 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, heaters and blowers must be
positioned to prevent children from using them as a means of access to the spa.

WARNING – This blower is intended for use on hot tubs and spas. Though this product is designed for

outdoor use, it is strongly advised to protect the electrical components from the weather. Select a well-drained area,
one that will not flood when it rains. It requires free circulation of air for cooling and operation. Do not install in a
damp or non-ventilated location. If installed within an outer enclosure, adequate ventilation and free circulation of
air must be provided to prevent overheating of the motor. Install blower a minimum of two feet (610 mm) off the
ground in a well ventilated location free of debris, chemicals and sprinklers.

WARNING – Risk of electrical shock. Install blower at least five feet (1.5 m) away from tub water using

nonmetallic plumbing. Install blower no less than one foot (305 mm) above the maximum water level to prevent
water from contacting electrical equipment. Install in accordance with the installation instructions.

WARNING – Pool and spa components (seals, gaskets, etc.) have a finite life. All components should be

inspected frequently and replaced at least every ten years, or if found to be damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or
not securely attached.

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 blower or motor, turn off power
supply to the blower.

WARNING – To reduce the risk of electric shock replace damaged wiring immediately. Locate conduit to

prevent abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and other equipment.

WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock. In accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC), 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. 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 circuit 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 blower without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of
an electric shock. Do not use this blower. Disconnect the blower and have the problem corrected by a qualified
service representative before using.

WARNING – 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.

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 mm
wire to the pressure wire connector provided on the pump 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. (1.5 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 – 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 (symbols complements of APSP):

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 differential 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.

2

) [No. 6 AWG (13.3 mm2) for Canada] solid copper bonding

Mechanical Entrapment - There is potential for jewelry, swimsuits, hair decorations, fingers, toes, or knuckles to be
caught in an opening of a suction outlet cover resulting in mechanical entrapment.
