Section 6
Servicing
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 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. Read all servicing instructions before working on the pump.
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.
