or death. Before servicing pool and spa water circulation system, all system and pump controls
must be in off position and filter manual air relief valve must be in open position. Before starting
system pump, all system valves must be set in a position to allow system water to return back to
the pool. Do not change filter control valve position while system pump is running. Before starting
system pump, fully open filter manual air relief valve. Do not close filter manual air relief valve until
a steady stream of water (not air or air and water) is discharged.
WARNING – Separation Hazard Failure to follow safety and operation instructions could
result in violent separation of pump and/or filter components. Strainer cover must be properly
secured to pump housing with strainer cover lock ring. Before servicing pool and spa circulation
system, filters manual air relief valve must be in open position. Do not operate pool and spa circu-
lation system if a system component is not assembled properly, damaged, or missing. Do not oper-
ate pool and spa circulation system unless filter manual air relief valve body is in locked position in
filter upper body. Never operate or test the circulation system at more than 50 PSI. Do not purge
the system with compressed air. Purging the system with compressed air can cause components
to explode, with risk of severe injury or death to anyone nearby. Use only a low pressure (below 5
PSI), high volume blower when air purging the pump, filter, or piping.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with ap-
plicable local codes, regulations, and the National Electric Code (NEC). Hazardous voltage can
shock, burn, and cause death or serious property damage. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do
NOT use an extension cord to connect unit to electric supply. Provide a properly located electrical
receptacle. Before working on any electrical equipment, turn off power supply to the equip-
ment. To reduce the risk of electric shock replace damaged wiring immediately. Locate conduit
to prevent abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and other equipment. Do NOT ground to a
gas supply line.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock Failure to ground all electrical equipment can cause seri-
ous or fatal electrical shock hazard. Electrical ground all electrical equipment before connecting
to electrical power supply.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock Failure to bond all electrical equipment to pool structure
will increase risk for electrocution and could result in injury or death. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, see installation instructions and consult a professional electrician on how to bond all elec-
trical equipment. Also, contact a licensed electrician for information on local electrical codes for
bonding requirements.
Notes to electrician: Use a solid copper conductor, size 8 or larger. Run a continuous wire from
external bonding lug to reinforcing rod or mesh. Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) [No. 6 AWG
(13.3 mm2) for Canada] solid copper bonding wire to the pressure wire connector provided on the
electrical equipment and to all metal parts of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, and metal piping (ex-
cept gas piping), and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.
IMPORTANT - Reference NEC codes for all wiring standards including, but not limited to, ground-
ing, bonding and other general wiring procedures.
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock The electrical equipment must be connected only to a
supply circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should
be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the
test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push reset button. Power should be restored. If
the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the
electrical equipment without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating
the possibility of an electrical shock. Do not use this electrical equipment. Disconnect the electri-
cal equipment and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
CAUTION – HAYWARD®pumps are intended for use with permanently-installed pools and may be
used with hot tubs and spas if so marked. Do not use with storable pools. A permanently-installed
pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled
for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being readily disassembled for
storage and reassembled to its original integrity.
