TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF INJURY DUE TO SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD:
• Pools and spas should utilize a minimum of two drains per pump.
• Each suction cover must be installed at least one (1m) meter apart, as measured from the nearest point to
nearest point.
• Regularly inspect all covers for cracks, damage and advanced weathering.
• If a cover becomes loose, cracked, damaged, broken or is missing, close the pool or spa immediately, shut off
the pump, post a notice and keep the pool or spa closed until an appropriate certified cover is properly installed.
• Replace drain covers as necessary. Drain covers deteriorate over time due to exposure to sunlight, pool chemicals
and weather.
• Avoid getting hair, limbs or body in close proximity to any suction cover, pool drain or outlet.
• Use a safety vacuum release system ("SVRS"), suction limiting system or automatic pump shut-off system.
• Disable suction outlets or reconfigure into return inlets.
HAZARDOUS PRESSURE: STAND CLEAR OF PUMP AND FILTER DURING START-UP
Pool and spa circulation systems operate under high pressure. When any part of the circulating
system (i.e. lock ring, pump, filter, valves, etc.) is serviced, air can enter the system and
become pressurized. Pressurized air can cause the pump housing cover, filter lid and valves
to violently separate which can result in severe personal injury or death. Filter tank lid and
strainer cover must be properly secured to prevent violent separation. Stand clear of all
circulation system equipment when turning on or starting up pump.
CAUTION!: Electrical controls such as on/off switches, timers, and control systems, etc. should be properly
installed to allow the operation (start-up, shut-down, or servicing) of any pump or filter without requiring the user to
place any portion of his/her body over or near the pump strainer lid or filter lid. Such installation should allow the
user to stand clear of the filter and pump during system start-up, shut down or servicing of the system.
Before servicing pool and spa equipment, make note of the filter pressure. Be sure that all controls are set to
ensure the system cannot inadvertently start during service. Turn off all power to the pump.
IMPORTANT: Place filter manual air relief valve in the open position and wait for all pressure in the system
to be relieved.
Before starting the system, fully open the manual air relief valve and place all system valves in the "open" position
to allow water to flow freely from the pool and spa back to the pool or spa. Stand clear of all pool and spa
equipment and start the pump.
IMPORTANT: Do not close filter manual air relief valve until all pressure has been discharged from the
valve and a steady stream of water appears.
Observe filter pressure gauge and be sure it is not higher than the pre-service condition.
