WARNING

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK -The pump cannot be used while people are inside the pool.
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
WARNING – RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Connect only to a grounding-type receptacle. This product is provided with a ground-fault circuit interrupter. If replacement
of the plug is needed, use only identical replacement parts.
WARNING: The unit is provided with a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the 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 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.
CAUTION – To reduce the risk of electric shock the pool must be installed no closer than 6 feet (1.8 m) from any electrical outlet. Do not place portable appliances closer than 5 feet (1.5 m) from the pool.
WARNING: The pump is not intended to be bonded to the equipotential bonding grid. DO NOT BURY THE CORD. Locate cord to minimize abuse from lawnmowers, hedge trimmers, and other equipment.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace the damaged cord immediately. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use an extension cord to connect unit to the electric supply; provide a properly located outlet.
CAUTION – This pump is for use with storable pools only. Do not use with permanently installed pools. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity. A permanently installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage.

CAUTION – For continued protection against possible electric shock this unit is to be mounted to the base in accordance with the installation instructions.
IMPORTANT – Using the pump with an unmatched electrical supply is dangerous and will result in catastrophic failure of pump.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK – When working with electricity, turn the electrical power off at the circuit breaker and lock the breaker door. Failure to do so will result in an increased risk of shock, injury, and possibly death.
DO NOT REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG OR MODIFY THE PLUG IN ANY WAY.
DO NOT USE ADAPTOR PLUGS. Consult a qualified electrician for any questions related to the validity of your plugs grounding. Handle the pump with care. Do not pull or carry the pump by the power cord. Never pull a plug from the outlet by yanking the power cord. Keep cord free from abrasions. Sharp objects, oil, moving parts, and heat should never be exposed to the filter pump.
NOTE: Please examine equipment before use. Notify Bestway at the customer service address listed on this manual for any manufacturing defect or missing parts at the time of purchase. Verify that the equipment components represent the filter pump model that you had intended to purchase.
NOTE: Place pump on a solid and level ground. Pay attention to the position of pool and pump so adequate ventilation, drainage, and access for cleaning is available. Never place a pump in an area that may accumulate water, or in an area where foot traffic will flow around the pool.
NOTE: Atmospheric conditions may affect the performance and life span of your filter pump. Unnecessary wear and tear may occur during periods of cold, heat, and exposure to sun. Whenever possible shelter the pump from these conditions.
NOTE: Do not add chemicals in the filter pump.
NOTE: Assembly and disassembly of this product should only be performed by adults.
