WIRING CONNECTIONS
Fire hazard. Incorrect voltage can cause a
fire or seriously damage the motor and voids the warran-
ty. The supply voltage must be within ±10% of the motor
nameplate voltage.
NOTICE: Dual-voltage motors are factory wired for 230
volts. If necessary, reconnect the motor for 115 volts, as
shown. Do not alter the wiring in single voltage motors.
Install, ground, wire, and maintain your pump in compli-
ance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) or the
Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), as applicable, and with
all local codes and ordinances that apply. Consult your
local building inspector for code information.
Connection Procedure:
1. Connect the ground wire first as shown in Figure 13.
The ground wire must be a solid copper wire at least
as large as the power supply wires.
2. There must be a solid metal connection between the
pressure switch and the motor for motor grounding
protection. If the pressure switch is not connected to
the motor, connect the green ground screw in the
switch to the green ground screw under the motor
end cover. Use a solid copper wire at least as large as
the power supply wires.
3. Connect the ground wire to a grounded lead in a ser-
vice panel, to a metal underground water pipe, to a
metal well casing at least ten feet (3M) long, or to a
ground electrode provided by the power company or
the hydro authority.
4. Connect the power supply wires to the pressure
switch as shown in Figure 13.

Motor wires connect here.
Connect the green
(or bare copper)
ground wire to the
green ground screw.
Clamp the power cable
to prevent strain
on the terminal screws.
Power supply wires connect here.
230 Volt: Connect 2 hot wires
(black and red) here and cap
the white (neutral) wire. It
does not matter which wire
goes to which screw.
115 Volt: Connect one hot wire
(black or red) to one of these
screws (it doesn't matter which
one). Connect the white
(neutral) wire to the other screw.
Cap any remaining black or
red wires.
