W ARNING — 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.
Read all servicing instructions before working on the pump.
WARNING — DO NOT open the strainer pot if pump fails to prime or if pump has been
operating without water in the strainer pot. Pumps operated in these
circumstances may experience a build up of vapor pressure and may
contain scalding hot water. Opening the pump may cause serious
personal injury. In order to avoid the possibility of personal injury, make
sure the suction and discharge valves are open and strainer pot
temperature is cool to touch, then open with extreme caution.
