Read, Understand and Follow All Instructions Carefully Before Installing and Using this Product.

WARNING

• Continuous and competent adult supervision of children and the disabled is required
at all times.

• Secure all doors, windows and safety barriers to prevent unauthorized, unintentional or
unsupervised pool entry.

• Install a safety barrier that will eliminate access to the pool for young children and pets.

• Pool and pool accessories are to be assembled and disassembled by adults only.

• Never dive, jump or slide into an above-ground pool or any shallow body of water.

• Failure to set up pool on flat, level, compact ground or over filling could result in the pool’s
collapse and the possibility that a person lounging in the pool could be swept out/ejected.

• Do not allow anyone to stand, walk, sit on, climb, or straddle the sides of the pool.

• Remove all toys and flotation devices from, in and around the pool when it is not in use.
Objects in the pool attract young children.

• Position the small enclosure more than 4 feet away from the pool to prevent a child from
climbing on the enclosure to access pool.

• Keep toys, chairs, tables, or any objects that a child could climb on at least four feet (1.22
meters) away from the pool.

• Keep rescue equipment by the pool and clearly post emergency numbers at the phone
closest to the pool. Examples of rescue equipment: coast guard approved ring buoy with
attached rope, strong rigid pole not less than twelve feet (12') [3.66m] long.

• Never swim alone or allow others to swim alone.

• Keep your pool clean and clear. The pool floor must be visible at all times from the outside
barrier of the pool.

• If swimming at night use properly installed artificial lighting to illuminate all safety signs,
ladders, pool floor and walkways.

• Stay away from the pool when using alcohol or drugs/medication.

• Keep children away from pool covers to avoid entanglement, drowning, or other serious
injury.

• Pool covers must be completely removed before pool use. Children and adults cannot be
seen under a pool cover.

• Do not cover the pool while you or anyone else is in the pool.

• Keep the pool and pool area clean and clear to avoid slips and falls and objects that may
cause injury.

• Protect all pool occupants from recreational water illnesses by keeping the pool water
sanitized. Don’t swallow the pool water. Practice good hygiene.

• All pools are subject to wear and deterioration. Certain types of excessive or accelerated
deterioration can lead to an operation failure, and can ultimately cause the loss of large
quantities of water from your pool. Therefore, it is very important that you properly maintain
your pool on a regular basis.

• This pool is for outdoor use only.

• Empty and store the pool when not in use for a longer period. See storage instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES

• All electrical components shall be installed in accordance with Article 680 of the National
Electrical Code 1999 (NEC
latest approved edition.

• The installer of the vinyl liner shall affix on the original or replacement liner, or on the pool
structure, all safety signs in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The safety signs
shall be placed above the water line.
