Do not permit children to use this product.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. The pump must
only be connected to sockets that have been installed
properly in accordance with the regulations and are protected with a FI-
safety switch (Residual-current device - RCD, 30mA).
This unit must be connected only to a supply circuit
that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter
(RCD). Such an RCD should be provided by the installer and should
be tested on a routine basis. To test the RCD, push the test button.
The RCD should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should
be restored. If the RCD fails to operate in this manner, the RCD is
defective. If the RCD interrupts power to the pump without the test button
being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an
electric shock. Do not use this pump. Disconnect the pump and have the
problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.

This pump is for use with permanent swimming
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 constructed so that
it is capable of being readily disassembled for storage and reassembled
to its original integrity.

capacitor bank that holds a 230 VAC charge even when there is no
power to the unit.
• The pump is not submersible.
• The pump is capable of high flow rates; use caution when installing
and programming to limit pumps performance potential with old or
questionable equipment.
• Code requirements for electrical connection differ from country to
