NO DIVING
Ø
Never dive, flip or jump
into this above ground swimming pool. It is too shallow for
safe diving. Ladders, decks, handrails and top ledges (or
anything else) are not to be used for diving. You can break
your neck!
Ø
Most serious permanent
injuries, paralysis or deaths occur when dives are made from
pool decks. Please read your four pages “Mandatory
Reading” Booklet supplied with this pool before you purchase
or fabricate a deck for your pool.
NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES
Ø
Never use your swimming
pool if you have been drinking alcoholic beverages or taking
medications or drugs. Shock, unconsciousness, permanent injury
or drowning could result. Don’t drink and dive!
KEEP WATER CLEAN
Ø
Always keep your pool
water clean so that the bottom is visible at all times.
Individuals must be able to see that the water is too shallow
for diving, and must be able to see small children in the
pool!
NO SWIMMING AFTER DARK
Ø
Never use your swimming
pool after dark or when you cannot see the shallow depth of
the water or the safety decals or signs. If you ignore this,
you have the sole responsibility for providing adequate
lighting. Because installation conditions vary, you must
consult with a licensed electrical contractor or your power
company to provide adequate lighting. You must also comply
with all national and local electric codes.
Ø
Never cut holes in your
pool wall to install lights or anything else unless the hole
locations are factory installed. Failure to obey this warning
could cause structural damage to the pool wall, violently
releasing large bodies of water. Wall structural failures may
cause serious injury, electrocution or property damage.
NO SLIDES OR BOARDS
Ø
Never install a slide or
diving board on your above ground pool.
NO HORSEPLAY
Ø
Never allow horseplay in
or around the pool.
DON’T STAND ON TOP
LEDGES
Ø
Do not stand, sit or step
on pool top ledge. These prohibited activities may break the
ledge or wall of the pool.
POST WARNING SIGNS
Ø
Always post your
“Warning” signs and/or decals in plain sight around your
above ground pool. Always insist that first time users and
children understand and obey all safety instructions.
