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 - 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 CORD. Locate cord to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers,
and other equipment.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of electric shock, IF FILTER PUMP POWER
CORD BECOMES DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, THE PUMP MUST BE DISCARDED.
WARNING - To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use extension cord
to connect unit to 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.
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 breaker door. Failure to do so will result in 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: Pay attention to position of pool and pump so adequate ventilation, drainage,
and access for cleaning is available. Never place 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.

GFCI WARNING
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. The GFCI must be tested before each use.
WARNING: Before inserting plug into a power outlet, make sure the current rate of the power outlet is
suitable for the pump.
WARNING: Do not use the pump if this test fails. For assistance, please visit the support section on our
website, www.bestwaycorp.com.
IMPORTANT: To prevent the risk of electrical shock, ensure your hands are completely dry when
plugging-in the Filter Pump.
IMPORTANT: Do not dry run the filter pump. Make sure both the pool’s Inlet and Outlet valves are fully
covered by water before operating the Filter Pump.
