Hayward Perflex® Extended-Cycle Owners Manual - Page 2

READ, UNDERSTAND, AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW SAFETY AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. CAUTION To reduce risk of injury, do not permit children to use or climb on this product. Closely supervise children at all times. The ANSI/APSP-4 Standard (above-ground and on-ground pools) advises that components such as the filtration system, pumps, and heaters be positioned to prevent their being used as a means of access to the pool by young children. WARNING COMPONENT SEPARATION HAZARD Pool and spa water circulation systems operate under hazardous pressure during start up, normal operation, and possibly after pump shut off. Pressure in system can cause explosive component separation of the upper filter body if safety and operation instructions are not followed. Severe personal injury or death can result. This product should be installed and serviced only by a qualified pool professional. TO AVOID COMPONENT SEPARATION • Follow all safety and operation instructions. • Do not operate water circulation system if a system component is assembled improperly, damaged, missing, or not a genuine Hayward component. • Before performing maintenance on the water circulation system, verify all system and pump controls are in OFF position and filter manual air relief valve is in the OPEN position. • Always tighten nut until spring coils touch each other, never only hand tighten. • Before starting the system pump, verify that all system valves are set in a position to allow water from the filter to return back to the pool. • Before starting the system pump, the manual air relief valve must be in the OPEN position. • When starting pump, do not stand over or near filter. • Return to filter to close manual air relief valve only when a steady stream of water (Not air or air and water mix) is discharged from the manual air relief valve. WARNING EXCESS PRESSURE HAZARD Pressure testing of the pump and filter system in excess of the 45 PSI can cause explosive separation of the components. Component separation can result in severe personal injury or death. WARNING ELECTROCUTION HAZARD High Voltage electricity is present in the pool and spa equipment. High voltage electricity can cause shock and electrocution. Shock and electrocution can result in severe personal injury or death. • All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with applicable local codes, regulations and the National Electrical Code (NEC). • Before performing any service or maintenance on electrical equipment turn off all electrical power. • Contact a licensed electrician or building inspector for information on local electrical codes for bonding requirements. • Verify water discharge from the filter manual air relief valve is directed away from electrical devices. Do not locate pump controls over or near filter. USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS Page 2 of 12 PERFLEX™ Filtration Series IS50C REV C
