Risk of Electrical Shock or Electrocution.

Always disconnect power to the pool light at the circuit breaker before servicing the light. Failure to

do so could result in death or serious injury to installer, serviceman, pool users or others due to

electrical shock.

WARNING

DANGER

WARNING

Never operate this underwater light for more than 10 seconds unless it is totally submerged in water. Without total

submersion, the light assembly will get extremely hot, which may result in serious burns or in breakage of the lamp or

lens. This may result in serious injury to pool users, installers, or bystanders, or in damage to property.

WARNING

Use only the special pilot screw provided with this underwater light. This screw mounts and electrically

grounds the housing securely to the mounting ring and wet fixture housing. Failure to use the screw

provided could create an electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury to pool users,

installers or others due to electrical shock. This procedure can be performed with the water in the pool.

SECTION I. FIXTURE HOUSING ENTRY HUB REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS.

STEP 1

Before starting repair, ensure that the inside of the fixture housing has the same style entry hub as shown in

Figure 1. It is necessary to verify the correct style entry hub for this warranty repair. The hub may be at the top

on the large radius of the fixture housing (45 degree entry), or assembled to the small fixture housing. Before

continuing, ensure the conduit entry hub matches Figure 1.

Do not attempt the repair on any fixture housing with any other style entry hub. Even if another type fixture

housing shows the same staining, it is likely to be caused by another problem. In that case this procedure will

not work and the repair will not be covered by warranty.
