<br />A WARNING! SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD
<br />INCREASING PUMP SIZE WILL INCREASE FLOW. When in doubt, consult your pool and spa professional. NEVER use a pool or
<br />spa that has a missing or broken suction outlet cover. USING A POOL OR SPA WITH A MISSING OR BROKEN SUCTION OUTLET
<br />COVER CAN RESULT IN HAIR OR BODY ENTRAPMENT WHICH CAN CAUSE SEVERE BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. THE VACUUM IN
<br />SUCTION OUTLETS AND/OR SUCTION OUTLET COVERS WHICH ARE DAMAGED, BROKEN, CRACKED, MISSING OR UNSECURED CAN
<br />CAUSE SEVERE INJURY AND/OR DEATH DUE TO THE FOLLOWING ENTRAPMENT HAZARDS: HAIR ENTRAPMENT— Hair can become
<br />entangled in suction outlet cover. LIMB ENTRAPMENT — A limb inserted into an opening of a suction outlet sump or suction
<br />outlet cover that is damaged, broken, cracked, missing or not securely attached can result in a mechanical bind or swelling of
<br />the limb. BODY SUCTION ENTRAPMENT — A negative pressure applied to a large portion of the body or limbs can result in an
<br />entrapment. EVISCERATION/DISEMBOWELMENT ENTRAPMENT — A negative pressure applied directly to the intestines through
<br />an unprotected suction outlet sump or suction outlet cover which is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured can
<br />result in evisceration/disembowelment entrapment. MECHANICAL ENTRAPMENT — There is a potential for jewelry, swimsuit, hair
<br />decorations, finger, toe or knuckle to be caught in an opening of a suction outlet cover resulting in mechanical entrapment.
<br />AFTER INSTALLATION OF FITTINGS, IF A GAP EXISTS BETWEEN POOL FINISH AND BASE OF COVER IT MUST BE FILLED IN WITH A
<br />TWO-PART EPDXY TO AVOID FINGER OR OTHER ENTRAPMENT.
<br />WARNING! — Failure to remove pressure test plugs and/or plugs used in winterization of the pool/spa from the suction outlets
<br />can result in an increased potential for suction entrapment as described above.
<br />WARNING! — Failure to keep suction outlet components clear of debris, such as leaves, dirt, hair, paper and other material can
<br />result in an increased potential for suction entrapment as described above.
<br />WARNING! — Suction outlet components have a finite life, the cover/grate should be inspected before each use of facility and
<br />replaced at least every five years or if found to be damaged, broken, cracked, missing, not securely attached or missing Screws.
<br />DO NOT use facility until corrected!
<br />A WARNING! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ENTRAPMENT HAZARDS
<br />II not an approved single. unblockable outlet, a minimum of two functioning suction outlets per pump must be installed. Suction
<br />outlets in the same plane (i.e. floor or wall) must be installed a minimum of three feet (3') (I meter) apart, as measured from
<br />center point to center point. Dual suction fittings shall not be located on seating areas or on the backrest for such seating areas. .
<br />If any suction outlets are located closer they shall be located on two different planes (i.e. one on the bottom and one on the
<br />vertical wall, or one each on two separate vertical walls). The maximum system flow rate shall not exceed the flow rating of any
<br />listed (per ANSI/APSP 16-2011) suction outlet cover installed. Never use pool or spa if any suction outlet component is damaged.
<br />broken, cracked, missing or not securely attached. Replace damaged, broken, cracked, missing or not securely attached suction
<br />outlet components immediately. In addition to two or more suction outlets per pump installed in accordance with latest APSP.
<br />Standards and CPSC guidelines, follow all applicable national, state and local code. Use only transitional (typically green) glues
<br />when attaching PVC pipe to ABS fittings. Use gray medium set glue when attaching PVC pipe to our PVC based double deep sump
<br />buckets. Do not ever use blue glue or related hot glues, clear glues or any fast setting cement.
