To reduce risk of electric shock, do not use extension cords, timers, plug adapters or converter plugs to connect the pump to electric supply; provide a properly located outlet. Locate cord where it will not be damaged by lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and other equipment. See Filter Pump manual for additional warnings and instructions. Select an outdoor location for the pool with the following in mind: 1. The area where the pool is to be set up must be absolutely flat and level. Do not set up the pool on a slope or inclined surface. 2. The ground surface must be compacted and firm enough to withstand the pressure and weight of a fully set up pool. Do Not set up the pool on mud, sand, soft or loose soil conditions. 3. Do Not set up the pool on a deck or platform. 4. The pool requires at least 4 feet of space all around pool from objects that a child could climb on to gain access to the pool. 5. Pool will kill the grass. Splash out could damage vegetation. Certain types of grass such as St. Augustine and Bermuda, may grow through the liner.
