IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Important Notice:

THIS SEPARATION TANK IS DESIGNED AND INTENDED FOR USE IN FILTRATION

SYSTEMS DESIGNED FOR SWIMMING POOLS AND SPAS.

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 serious injury,
death, and/or property damage. Call [phone] for additional free copies of these instructions.

WARNING - This separation tank operates under pressure and if assembled improperly or

operated with air in the water circulation system it can separate and result in an accident causing
serious bodily injury and/or property damage. A warning label has been affixed to the top of the tank
which should NOT be removed. Keep safety labels in good condition and replace if missing or
illegible. (For free labels call 1-800-831-7133.)

WARNING - FILTERS SHOULD NEVER BE TESTED OR SUBJECTED TO AIR OR GAS

UNDER PRESSURE. All gases are compressible and when under pressure create a danger.
Severe bodily injury or property damage could occur if the filter is subjected to air or gas pressure.

WARNING - Releasing the tank clamp with pressure in the system will cause the lid to blow off,

which could result in sever injury and/or property damage. NEVER adjust, tighten or loosen the “V”
band clamp when the tank is under pressure.

WARNING - Do not overtighten the closure band. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY to produce an

effective leak tight seal. Tightening the closure band beyond hand limits may damage the closure
band and cause unexpected failure, sudden release or pressure and injury or damage.

WARNING - The tank clamp used on your separation tank is manufactured with high quality

corrosion resistant materials. The manufacturing process could allow sharp edges to be present on
the parts. When working around the clamp, use caution to prevent potential injury to fingers or hands
from contact with sharp edges.

WARNING - Chemical fumes and/or spills can cause severe corrosive attack to the separation

tank metallic components. Structurally weakened components can cause severe bodily injury and/or
property damage.
