INSTALLATION
Risk of Electric Shock. All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with applicable local codes, regulations,
and the National Electric Code (NEC). All electrical wiring should be performed by a qualified professional.
Hazardous voltage can shock, burn, and cause death or serious property damage. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, DO NOT use an extension cord to connect unit to electric supply. Provide a properly located
electrical receptacle. Before working on any electrical equipment, turn off power supply to the equipment. To
reduce the risk of electric shock replace damaged wiring immediately. DO NOT ground to a gas supply line.
The electrical equipment must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-fault
circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a
routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push 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 electrical equipment without the test button being pushed, a ground current is
flowing, indicating the possibility of an electrical shock. DO NOT use this electrical equipment. Disconnect
the electrical equipment and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
Insure that the electrical supply available agrees with the motor's voltage, phase, and cycle, and that the
wire size is adequate for the KW rating and distance from the power source.
Voltage at motor MUST NOT be more than 10% above or below motor name plate rated voltage, or motor
may overheat, causing overload tripping and reduced component life. If voltage is less than 90% or more
than 110% of rated voltage when motor is running at full load, consult power company.
Failure to bond all electrical equipment to pool structure will increase risk for electrocution and could result
in injury or death. To reduce the risk of electric shock, see installation instructions and consult a professional
electrician on how to bond all electrical equipment. Also, contact a licensed electrician for
information on local electrical codes for bonding requirements.
Pump MUST be permanently connected to circuit. If other lights or appliances are also on the same circuit,
be sure to add their amp loads before calculating wire and circuit breaker sizes. Use the load circuit breaker
as the Master On-Off switch.
Install a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in circuit; it will sense a short-circuit to ground and
disconnect power before it becomes dangerous to pool users. For size of GFCI required and test procedures
for GFCI, see manufacturer's instructions. In case of a power outage, check GFCI for tripping, which will
prevent normal pump operation. Reset if necessary.
NOTE: If you do not use conduit when wiring motor, be sure to seal wire opening on end of motor to
prevent dirt, bugs, etc., from entering.
