INSTALLATION
Only qualified, licensed personnel should install pump
and wiring.
Pump mount must:
Be located away from corrosive or flammable liquids.
Have enough ventilation to maintain air temperature at less
than the maximum ambient temperature rating (Max. Amb.)
listed on the motor model plate. If this pump is installed in
an enclosure/pump house, the enclosure must have ade-
quate ventilation and air circulation to keep the tempera-
ture in the enclosure at or below the motor’s rated ambient
temperature whenever the pump is running.
Be solid - Level - Rigid - Vibration free. (To reduce vibra-

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Always follow basic safety precautions with this
equipment, including the following.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not per-
mit children to use this product unless they are closely
supervised at all times.
This pump is for use with permanently
installed pools and may also 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 con-
structed so that it may be readily disassembled for stor-
age and reassembled to its original integrity.
