IMPORTANT PUMP WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Body Entrapment: When a portion of the body is held against the
drain cover trapping the swimmer underwater. This hazard is
present when the drain cover is missing, broken or the cover flow
rating is not high enough for the pump or pumps.
Evisceration/Disembowelment: When a person sits on an open
pool (particularly a child wading pool) or spa outlet and suction
is applied directly to the intestines, causing severe intestinal
damage. This hazard is present when the drain cover is missing,
loose, cracked, or not properly secured.
Mechanical Entrapment: When jewelry, swimsuit, hair decora-
tions, finger, toe or knuckle is caught in an opening of an outlet
or drain cover. This hazard is present when the drain cover is
missing, broken, loose, cracked, or not properly secured.
NOTE: ALL SUCTION PLUMBING MUST BE INSTALLED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LATEST NATIONAL AND LOCAL CODES,
STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES.
TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF INJURY DUE TO
SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD:
•
Each suction cover must be installed at least 1 m 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, replace with an appropriate certified cover.
•
Replace drain covers as necessary. Drain covers deteriorate
over time due to exposure to sunlight and weather.
•
Avoid getting hair, limbs or body in close proximity to any
suction cover, pool drain or outlet.
•
Disable suction outlets or reconfigure into return inlets.
A clearly labeled emergency shut-off switch
for the pump must be in an easily accessible,
obvious place. Make sure users know where
it is and how to use it in case of emergency.
The Virginia Graeme Baker (VGB) Pool and Spa Safety Act
creates new requirements for owners and operators of
commercial swimming pools and spas.
Commercial pools or spas constructed on or after December
19, 2008, shall utilize:
(A) A multiple main drain system without isolation capability
with suction outlet covers that meet ASME/ANSI A112.19.8a
Suction Fittings for Use in Swimming Pools, Wading Pools,
Spas, and Hot Tubs and either:
(i) A safety vacuum release system (SVRS) meeting ASME/
ANSI A112.19.17 Manufactured Safety Vacuum Release
systems (SVRS) for Residential and Commercial Swimming
Pool, Spa, Hot Tub, and Wading Pool Suction Systems and/or
ASTM F2387 Standard Specification for Manufactured Safety
Vacuum Release Systems (SVRS) for Swimming pools, Spas
and Hot Tubs or
(ii) A properly designed and tested suction-limiting vent
system or
(iii) An automatic pump shut-off system.
Commercial pools and spas constructed prior to December
19, 2008, with a single submerged suction outlet shall use
a suction outlet cover that meets ASME/ANSI A112.19.8a
and either:
(A) A SVRS meeting ASME/ANSI A112.19.17 and/or ASTM
F2387, or
(B) A properly designed and tested suction-limiting vent
system, or
(C) An automatic pump shut-off system, or
(D) Disabled submerged outlets, or
(E) Suction outlets shall be re-configured into return inlets.

For Installation of Electrical Controls at Equipment Pad
(ON/OFF Switches, Timers and Automation Load Center)
Install all electrical controls at equipment pad, such as on/off
switches, timers, and control systems, etc. to allow the
operation (startup, shut-down, or servicing) of any pump or
filter so the user does not place any portion of his/her body
over or near the pump strainer lid, filter lid or valve closures.

clear of all circulation system equipment when turning on or starting up pump.
Before servicing 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 tank and back to the tank. Stand clear of
all 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.
General Installation Information
• All work must be performed by a qualified service professional, and must
conform to all national, state, and local codes.
• Install to provide drainage of compartment for electrical components.
• 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.
• Fitting a non-return valve after the pump on the installation will prevent
the impeller from unwinding and is strongly recommended.

age caused by a structural failure of the pump or other system component.
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.

Install all electrical controls at equipment pad, such
as on/off switches, timers, and control systems, etc. to
allow the operation (startup, shut-down, or servicing)

HAZARDOUS PRESSURE: STAND CLEAR OF
PUMP AND FILTER DURING START UP
Circulation systems operate under high pressure. When
any part of the circulating system (i.e. locking 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
Pumps improperly sized or installed or used in ap-
plications other than for which the pump was in-
tended can result in severe personal injury or death.
These risks may include but not be limited to electric
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
