IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Important Notice:
Attention Installer: This manual contains important information about the installation, operation and safe use of this product. This information should be given to the owner and/or operator of this equipment.
WARNING — Before installing this product, read and follow all warning notices and instructions which are included. Failure to follow safety warnings and instructions can result in severe injury, death, or property damage. Call (800) 831-7133 for additional free copies of these instructions.
WARNING — Entrapment Avoidance Notice:
The suction outlet connected to a swimming pool or spa pump can pull a high vacuum if it is blocked. Therefore, if only one suction outlet smaller than 18" x 23" is used, anyone blocking the suction outlet with their body can be trapped and held against the suction outlet. Disembowelment or drowning can result. Therefore, if small suction outlets are used with this pump, to prevent this entrapment and possible death, install at least two suction outlets in the body of water. Separate these suction outlets as described in the International Residential Code (IRC), the International Business Code (IBC), the Consumer Products Safety Council (CPSC) Guidelines for Entrapment Hazards:
Making Pools and Spas Safer or ANSI/IAF-7 Standard for Suction Entrapment Avoidance in Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs and Catch Basins. If suction outlets are not used, additional entrapment avoidance measures as described in the CPSC Guidelines or ANSI/IAF-7 should be employed.
The covers used on suction outlets should be approved and listed as conforming to the currently published edition of ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 Standard covering Suction Fittings for Use in Swimming Pools, Wading Pools, Spas and Hot Tubs. These covers should be inspected regularly and replaced if cracked, broken or older than the design lifetime indicated on them by the manufacturer. The maximum possible flow rate of this pump should be less than or equal to the maximum approved flow rate indicated on the suction outlet cover by the manufacturer. THE USE OF UNAPPROVED COVERS OR ALLOWING USE OF THE POOL OR SPA WHEN COVERS ARE CRACKED OR BROKEN CAN RESULT IN HAIR ENTANGLEMENT WHICH CAN RESULT IN DEATH.
WARNING — Risk of electrical shock or electrocution.
This pool pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool serviceman in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper installation will create an electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury to pool users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property.
Always disconnect power to the pool pump at the circuit breaker before servicing the pump. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to serviceman, pool users or others due to electric shock.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (continued)
WARNING — Water temperature in excess of 100° Fahrenheit may be hazardous to your health. Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above normal body temperature of 98.6° F. (37° C.). The symptoms of hyperthermia include: drowsiness, lethargy, dizziness, fainting, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body.
The effects of hyperthermia include: 1) Unawareness of impending danger. 2) Failure to perceive heat. 3) Failure to recognize the need to leave the spa. 4) Physical inability to exit the spa. 5) Fetal damage in pregnant women. 6) Unconsciousness resulting in danger of drowning.
WARNING — The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
WARNING — To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
WARNING — For units intended for use in other than single-family dwellings, a clearly labeled emergency switch shall be provided as part of the installation. The switch shall be readily accessible to the occupants and shall be installed at least 5 feet (1.52 m) away, adjacent to, and within sight of, the unit.
WARNING — When setting up pool water turnovers or flow rates the operator must consider local codes governing turnover as well as disinfectant feed ratios.
WARNING — Before servicing the system, switch the main power OFF and remove the communication cable from the pump.
CAUTION — Install the pump a minimum of five (5) feet from the inside wall of the pool and spa. Canadian installations require a minimum of three (3) meters from pool water.
CAUTION — A No. 8 AWG or larger conductor must be wired to the motor bonding lug.
CAUTION — This pump is for use with permanently installed pools and may also be used with hot tubs and spas if so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently installed 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 may be readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity and has a maximum dimension of 18 feet (5.49m) and a maximum wall height of 42 inches (1.07m).
CAUTION — For hot tubs and spa pumps, do not install within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt of a hot tub or spa unless so marked.
CAUTION — IntelliFlo is capable of generating systems pressures up to 50 psi. Installers must ensure that all system components are rated to withstand at least 50 psi. Over pressurizing the system can result in catastrophic component failure or property damage.
General Installation Information
•All work must be performed by a licensed electrician, and must conform to all national, state, and local codes.
•Install to provide drainage of compartment for electrical components.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (continued)
General Installation Information
WARNING — Pumps improperly sized or installed or used in applications other than for which the pump was intended can result in severe personal injury or death. These risks may include but not be limited to electric shock, fire, flooding, suction entrapment or severe injury or property damage caused by a structural failure of the pump or other system component.
WARNING — The pump can produce high levels of suction within the suction side of the plumbing system. These high levels of suction can pose a risk if a person comes
within the close proximity of the suction openings. A person can be seriously
injured by this high level of vacuum or may become trapped and drown. It is absolutely critical that the suction plumbing be installed in accordance with the
latest national and local codes for swimming pools.
• These instructions contain information for a variety of pump models and therefore some instructions may not apply to a specific model. All models are intended for use in swimming pool applications. The pump will function correctly only if it is properly sized to the specific application and properly installed.
